Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kawasaki disease patients show the symptoms of a fever and vasculitis, and sometimes severe coronary artery aneurysm. This coronary artery aneurysm might result in lowering the QOL of children. Lactobacillus Lactobacillus casei cell wall fragments (LCWE) make similar Kawasaki disease in animals. Previously we showed that cAMP down-regulates the inflammatory response. In this study, we revealed that cAMP inhibits the LCWE-induced NF-kappaB and MAPK pathways, and cell proliferation. In addition, both the signals of pretein kinase A (PKA) and Epac that are downstream of cAMP are involved.
