TGF-β gene polimorphisms as risk factors for asthma control among clinic patientsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1-12 - 2021
Panek Michał, Stawiski Konrad, Kuna Piotr
TGF-β and its receptors play a crucial role in asthma pathogenesis, bronchial hyperreactivity, and bronchial remodeling. Expression of isoforms 1–3 of TGFβ cytokine is influenced by tagging polymorphisms in the TGFβ1, TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 gene, and these SNPs may be associated with the risk of asthma development and severity as well as with other diseases. Polymorphic forms of TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3...... hiện toàn bộ
Does carbon monoxide treatment alter cytokine levels after endotoxin infusion in pigs? A randomized controlled studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2008

Carbon monoxide (CO) has recently been suggested to have anti-inflammatory properties, but data seem to be contradictory and species-specific. Thus, in studies on macrophages and mice, pretreatment with CO attenuated the inflammatory response after endotoxin exposure. On the other hand, human studies showed no effect of CO on the inflammatory response. Anti-inflammatory efficacy of CO has been sho...... hiện toàn bộ
Relationship between vitamin D status and the inflammatory state in patients with chronic spontaneous urticariaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-5 - 2014

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is an immune-inflammatory disease, characterized by acute phase response (APR) and immune activation. There has been increasing evidence showing that vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is associated with increased incidence and/or severity of immune-inflammatory disorders. To assess relationship between vitamin D status and C-reactive protein (CRP), a nonspecifi...... hiện toàn bộ
Nurr1 dependent regulation of pro-inflammatory mediators in immortalised synovial fibroblastsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2005
Davies, Mark R, Harding, Christine J, Raines, Stephanie, Tolley, Kurt, Parker, Andrew E, Downey-Jones, Mark, Needham, Maurice RC
Nurr1 is an orphan member of the nuclear receptor superfamily; these orphan receptors are a group for which a ligand has yet to be identified. Nurr1 has been shown to regulate the expression of a small number of genes as a monomeric, constitutively active receptor. These Nurr1 regulated genes are primarily associated with dopamine cell maturation and survival. However, previous reports have shown ...... hiện toàn bộ
Thrombin increases inflammatory cytokine and angiogenic growth factor secretion in human adipose cells in vitroSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-10 - 2009
Jennifer L Strande, Shane A Phillips
Abdominal obesity is associated with pro-thrombotic and inflammatory states. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the expression of thrombin receptors (PAR1 and PAR4) human adipose tissue and whether thrombin stimulates an inflammatory cytokine and growth factor profile in human adipose tissue. Human adipose tissue, isolated preadipocytes and differentiated adipocytes were used in t...... hiện toàn bộ
A comparative study of blood endotoxin detection in haemodialysis patientsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Jonathan Wong, Nathan Davies, Hasan Jeraj, Enric Vilar, Adie Viljoen, Ken Farrington
Endotoxemia is commonly reported in patients receiving haemodialysis and implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic inflammation. The Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay is the most commonly used blood endotoxin detection assay. Two kinetic variations of the assay are commercially available – the turbidimetric and chromogenic assay, it is unknown which assay is superior for endotoxin detection i...... hiện toàn bộ
