Molecules of emotion

• Candace B Pert PhD• Journal of Immunology 1985• ‘A major conceptual shift in neuroscience has

been wrought by the realisation that brain function in modulated by numerous chemicals in addition to classical neurotransmitters. Many of these informational substances are neuropeptides, originally studied in other contexts as hormones, gut peptides or growth factors.’

Page 20: Claire Haresnape Shorter Version (3)

The birth of PNEI

• ‘Neuropeptide receptors occur on mobile cells of the immune system....Neuropeptides and their receptors thus join the brain, glands, and immune system in a network of communication between brain and body, probably representing the biochemical substrate of emotion.’

J. Oschman

Presenter
Presentation Notes
According to Oschman the living matrix is present at three levels, fading into each other. There is the environment of the cell, called the extra-cellular matrix, full of collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. There is the intra cellular matrix, representing the cytoskeleton. And finally in the centre of the cell there is the nuclear matrix. Although most toxins will be present and stored in the extracelluar matrix, their influence is often intra cellular and nuclear. For this reason we can‘t see the extra-cellular matrix as an isolated autonome interactive and informative structure but have to stay focused on the interactions between the different ‘levels’ of matrix in the living matrix

Hartmut Heineborn 1941

• Histologist• Histological preparation of

an acupuncture point (1987)• Further research on ECM, especially

on proteoglycans and glucosaminoglycans• Basic research on autoregulatory processes

in ECM• Immunological Bystander Reaction as

a possible working mechanism behind antihomotoxic medications (IBR)

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The German histologist, Prof. H. Heine did a lot of scientific research in biological medicine. He was the first to describe an acupuncture point in histological way after some microscopic observations of histological preparations. He brought complementary medicine a broad knowledge on the microscopic structure of the ECM that he described in detail in different publications. Thanks to the work of Heine we better understand the regulating processes in the ECM. In the inflammation process he proved in full blood cultures that micro dosages of organic material (plants, suis organ extracts) can trigger an immunological bystander reaction. Over motif formation on regulating Th-3 cells, pro inflammatory Th-1 and Th-2 cells are inhibited by the release of TGF-β.

Synonyms of the ECM

any physiological value• The Ground Regulating System (GRS): Pischinger• The Basic Bio Regulating System (BBRS): Lamers, Van Wijk and

Linnemans• The Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM): current terminology• The Living Matrix: new terminology in complementary medicine

thanks to the work of James Oschman

Presenter
Presentation Notes
In literature a lot of synonyms are used to point at the same system. In fact, ‘extra-cellular matrix’ (ECM) is the only correct scientific term. The others mentioned on the slide above are synonyms that have been used by certain authors. Although BBRS is the most correct term to name and define the function of the ECM it is porely used and certainly not internationally accepted. ECM is the current terminology and should be overall used.

Histology of the ECM

• The ECM is built up like a 3-dimensional network

• Apart from the proteoglycans and glucosaminoglycans, the collagen, elastin and other basic fibers, it contains capillaries, lymphatic and nerve ends, defense cells and basal membranes

• It is present all over the organism and is the main pathway for vicariation

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Conclusion: The extracellular matrix is a three dimensional web-like structure, surrounding in any dimension the organ cells. His structure is made in such a way it can fulfil his physiological task of biophysical filter. The main components of the ECm are collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. The ECM is the place where arterial capillaries ends and venous capillaries begins. Also the lymphatic system collects his content out of the ECM and is by this a parallel system transporting system of the venous one. Nerves ends and begins in the ECM, triggering with nerve signals or collecting information. All over between this different compounds and structures defence cells like macrophages and mast cells are present to take care, cleanse and defend the organism. As homotoxins can travel over the ECM to other locations, the matrix becomes the main pathway for disease and health evolutions.

ECM

• The ECM is the transmitter area and main area of action of mediators in the human body

• It is part of the living matrix and not to be seen as a separate communication system

• It is the terrain where the organism deals with homotoxins in inflammatory or storage pathways

• The ECM guarantees the quality of life of the cell and is therefore crucial for the organ function

Presenter
Presentation Notes
To take awayfrom this lecture: The ECM is the transmission are for many substances that travel from bloodstream to cell and vice versa. It is also the main terrain of interaction between the different regulation systems. The ECM is also the main area where homotoxins will be stored (deposition phases) or will be eliminated by inflammatory processes (inflammation phases). As direct micro-environment of the cell, the ECM guarantees under normal conditions the life quality of the cell. The ECM is therefore crucial for cell surviving and is a main terrain of action for biological medical therapies. In the ECM present or stored homotoxins will disturb in minor or major degree the cell function and should therefore be avoided at any time to keep the organism in full health.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The cascade of the origin of a chronic disease goes over an ECM intoxication that causes a cell hypoxia. It is a question of time before the cell gets intracellular intoxicated or dysregulated and shows serious dysfunction. The more cells in the same tissue that are concerned, the more physiological disruption will be present in the tissue function. As there is more or less a long term physiological fall out installed, a chronic disease is born.

The concept of BALANCE and the use of the cytokines.

Talking about cytokines it’s useful to talk about BALANCE, in particular of balance Th1-Th2.

In case of pathologies there is an imbalance; for example, in the acute inflammatory pathologies the Th1 scale pan is heavier: in

these cases the therapy should make heavier the Th2 (IL4, IL10, TGF -beta) scale pan in order to redress the balance.

On the contrary, in the allergic pathologies the Th2 scale pan isheavier: in these cases the therapy should make heavier the Th1

(IL12, INF -gamma) scale pan in order to redress the balance.

The appropriate “rebalancing” cytokines will play their role workingon the cell receptors.

Th17 cells in Inflammatory Conditions

• Anne Cook has produced a short review• CD4+ T cells have been subdivided into

different subsets largely on the basis of the cytokines they produce.

• Th17 cells produce IL-17• New studies have recognised the role of

Th17 cells in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease

Page 42: Claire Haresnape Shorter Version (3)

1© Claire Haresnape

• Elevated levels of IL-17 have been detected in rheumatoid synovium and associated with MS, psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosis.

• The role of Th17 in mediating autoimmune disease is being researched

• Previously it was thought that these were Th1 mediated diseases.

Page 43: Claire Haresnape Shorter Version (3)

New Therapy??

• IL-12 regulates Th1• IL-4 regulates Th2• TGF-Beta and IL-6 are required for

Naive CD4+ cells to differentiate into Th17 cells

• This differentiation is facilitated by the absence of INF-Gamma and IL-4

AUTOIMMUNE PATOLOGIESIn autoimmune pathologies it is generally possible to detect low levels of INF-γ e IL4; since these interleukines don’t stimulate the Th0 to differentiate into Th1 or Th2, enable the IL6 to stimulate the Th17 to produce IL17, the real trigger interleukine in autoimmune diseases. According with PRM it’s important tu use opposite citokines; therefore, to slow down the IL6 it is important to use IFN-γ 4CH e IL4 4CH
