Prolactin and systemic lupus erythematosus: prolactin secretion by SLE lymphocytes and proliferative (autocrine) activityLupus - Tập 4 Số 5 - Trang 348-352 - 1995
Marco A. Gutiérrez, JF Molina, LJ Jara, M L Cuéllar, C. García, Sergio Gutiérrez‐Ureña, A E Gharavi, LR Espinoza
Accumulated evidence suggests that prolactin (PRL) is an important immunoregulator and might have a role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Moreover, a PRL-like molecule is secreted by normal human lymphocytes and acts as an autocrine growth factor for lymphoproliferation. The objective of this study was to explore the PRL-like peptide production by peripheral blood...... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical significance of serum and urine prolactin levels in lupus glomerulonephritisLupus - Tập 7 Số 6 - Trang 387-391 - 1998
J M Miranda, Rodrigo Prieto, Ramón Paniagua, Gloria García, Dante Amato, Leonor Barile, Luis J. Jara
Prolactin (PRL) has been involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and hyperprolactinemia has been connected with systemic activity. However, the clinical significance of PRL has not been investigated in lupus glomerulonephritis (GN). Methods: We studied SLE patients (ACR criteria) with biopsy-proven renal disease. Renal histology was classified according to World...... hiện toàn bộ

Noha Abdel‐Wahab, María A. López-Olivo, Gineth Paola Pinto-Patarroyo, María E. Suárez-Almazor
Objective The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of case reports documenting the development of antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid syndrome-related features after an infection. Methods We searched Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed ePubs, and The Cochran...... hiện toàn bộ
Thrombomodulin: An overview and potential implications in vascular disordersLupus - Tập 7 Số 2_suppl - Trang 120-125 - 1998
Marie‐Claire Boffa, Marina Karmochkine
Thrombomodulin (TM), a high affinity thrombin receptor present on endothelial cell membrane, plays an important role as a natural anticoagulant. It acts as a cofactor of thrombin-catalyzed activation of protein C, and inhibits the procoagulant functions of thrombin. TM is also located in other cells (keratinocytes, osteoblasts, macrophages, …) where it might be involved in cell differentia...... hiện toàn bộ
Severe refractory thrombocytopenia in a woman positive for coronavirus disease 2019 with lupus and antiphospholipid syndromeLupus - Tập 29 Số 11 - Trang 1472-1474 - 2020
Alina Hayden, Aishwarya Vyas-Lahar, Vincent Rella, Alla Rudinskaya
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created new challenges that necessitate prompt responses in unexpected clinical situations. Multiple extrapulmonary manifestations and complications of COVID-19 have already been described, but only scattered data are present on immunologic manifestations. We present a case of severe refractory thrombocytopenia in a 51-year-old woman wi...... hiện toàn bộ
Promoter polymorphisms in the IRF3 gene confer protection against systemic lupus erythematosusLupus - Tập 17 Số 6 - Trang 568-574 - 2008
Mitsuteru Akahoshi, Hitoshi Nakashima, Atsushi Sadanaga, Katsuhisa Miyake, Kazuhiko Obara, Mayumi Tamari, Tomomitsu Hirota, Akira Matsuda, Taro Shirakawa
In order to identify a novel candidate gene in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we analysed a panel of six genes encoding molecules involved in the type I interferon (IFN) system. We first identified variants in the five genes related to type I IFN pathway by sequencing. Genotyping of a panel of eight selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six candidate genes ( TLR9, MYD88,...... hiện toàn bộ
Extrahepatic manifestations in chronic hepatitis C virus carriersLupus - Tập 24 Số 4-5 - Trang 469-482 - 2015
Éric Rosenthal, P. Cacoub
Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection frequently present with extrahepatic manifestations covering a large spectrum, involving different organ systems leading to the concept of systemic HCV infection. These manifestations include autoimmune phenomena and frank autoimmune and/or rheumatic diseases and may dominate the course of chronic HCV infection. Chronic HCV infection...... hiện toàn bộ
