Investigation of CCL18 and A1AT as potential urinary biomarkers for bladder cancer detection [PDF]

BMC Urology, 2015
BACKGROUND: In this study, we further investigated the association of two biomarkers, CCL18 and A1AT, with bladder cancer (BCa) and evaluated the influence of potentially confounding factors in an experimental model. METHODS: In a cohort of 308 subjects (

The Utilization of Alpha 1 Anti-trypsin (A1AT) in Infectious Disease Monitoring and Treatment.

Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2019
Alpha one anti-trypsin (A1AT) is a major serine protease inhibitor found circulating in human blood. A1AT related studies mainly focus on A1AT potential biomarker as well as therapeutic target in non-infectious diseases.

Alpha1-antitrypsin counteracts heme-induced endothelial cell inflammatory activation, autophagy dysfunction and death

Redox Biology, 2021
Free heme toxicity in the vascular endothelium is critical for the pathogenesis of hemolytic disorders including sickle cell disease. In the current study, it is demonstrated that human alpha1-antitrypsin (A1AT), a serine protease inhibitor with high ...

Exogenous alpha 1-antitrypsin down-regulates SERPINA1 expression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The main goal of the therapy with purified human plasma alpha1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is to increase A1AT levels and to prevent lungs from elastolytic activity in patients with PiZZ (Glu342Lys) A1AT deficiency-related emphysema.

Active trafficking of alpha 1 antitrypsin across the lung endothelium. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The homeostatic lung protective effects of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) may require the transport of circulating proteinase inhibitor across an intact lung endothelial barrier.

How Can We Improve the Detection of Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The Z deficiency in α1-antitrypsin (A1ATD) is an under-recognized condition. Alpha1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is the main protein in the α1-globulin fraction of serum protein electrophoresis (SPE); however, evaluation of the α1-globulin protein fraction has ...

Impact of serine protease inhibitor alpha1-antitrypsin on expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced proinflammatory factors in adipocytes

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Obesity-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to low-grade chronic inflammation in adipose tissue and may cause metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.
