Diseases associated with uncontrolled inflammation.

Name of the organ Name of the disease Dysregulated immune signaling Reference
Cardiovascular disease atherosclerosis Intracellular components TLR-mediated NF-κB signaling via necrotic cells [40]
Pancreas Type 2 diabetes High levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, CRP, fibrinogen, serum amyloid A, plasminogen activator inhibitor, and haptoglobin, sialic acid, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), activation of NF-κB, MAPK, and JAK-STAT pathways [42]
Pancreas Pancreatitis Activation of macrophages, neutrophils, and granulocytes, inflammatory cytokines mediated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) activation [43]
Kidney glomerulonephritis, end-stage renal disease, or acute or chronic kidney disease (CKD Activation of transcription factors (NF-κB or MAPK), DAMPs, and PAMPs, and Nod-like receptors (NLRs). [4950]
Liver alcoholic or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, and ischemia/reperfusion DAMPs (during SI) and PAMPs activation and formation of inflammasome, high levels of of IL-1β and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, activation of Kupffer cell leading to hepatocyte damage, and/or cholestasis.
