Table 2 Potential therapeutic interventions and effects on targets of inflammatory network

From: NF-κB pathway activators as potential ageing biomarkers: targets for new therapeutic strategies

Therapies

Target effects

Monoclonal antibodies against these cytokines and their receptors

Reduction of levels of IL-6, TNF-α

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug

 

Agonists of cytokine receptors or PRR receptors for people who do not respond to (or comply with) NSAID therapy

 

Antibody-mediated stimulation of the decoy TLR receptors, such as TAM receptors, or of the intracellular TLR regulators for people with pro-inflammatory alleles in TLR4 and TLR2 genes

 

Statin therapy

 

Physical activity

 

Administration of prebiotics and probiotics

 

Caloric restriction

Decrease of oxidative stress

Polyphenols

 

Use of drugs having mimic CR action

 

Caloric restriction

Mitochondria biogenesis as preventive action against mitochondrial dysfunction

Use of drugs having mimic CR action

 

Polyphenols
