Associations of wheezing phenotypes in the first 6 years of life with atopy, lung function and airway responsiveness in mid-childhood [PDF]

, 2008
<p>Background: Patterns of wheezing during early childhood may indicate differences in aetiology and prognosis of respiratory illnesses. Improved characterisation of wheezing phenotypes could lead to the identification of environmental influences ...

Involvement of PU.1 in NFATc1 promoter function in osteoclast development

Allergology International, 2015
Background: The transcription factors NFATc1 and PU.1 play important roles in osteoclast development. NFATc1 and PU.1 transactivate osteoclast-specific gene expression and a deficiency in NFATc1 or PU.1 genes causes osteopetrosis due to an insufficient ...

Toxocara seropositivity, atopy and wheezing in children living in poor neighbourhoods in urban Latin American. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Toxocara canis and T. cati are parasites of dogs and cats, respectively, that infect humans and cause human toxocariasis. Infection may cause asthma-like symptoms but is often asymptomatic and is associated with a marked eosinophilia ...

Involvement of PU.1 in Mast Cell/Basophil-Specific Function of the Human IL1RL1/ST2 Promoter

Allergology International, 2012
Background: The human IL1RL1/ST2 gene encodes IL33 receptor. Recently, IL33 has been recognized as a key molecule for the development of Th2 response. Although mast cells and basophils are major targets of IL33 and play important roles in IL33-mediated ...

Lower expression of TLR2 and SOCS-3 is associated with Schistosoma haematobium infection and with lower risk for allergic reactivity in children living in a rural area in Ghana. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Helminth infections are prevalent in rural areas of developing countries and have in some studies been negatively associated with allergic disorders and atopy. In this context little is known of the molecular mechanisms of modulation involved.

Insulin Resistance Increases Serum Immunoglobulin E Sensitization in Premenopausal Women [PDF]

Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2021
Background Although studies have shown that obesity is associated with aeroallergen sensitization (atopy), controversy still exists. We aimed to investigate the association between metabolic status, obesity, and atopy stratified by sex and menopausal ...

Human Schistosome Infection and Allergic Sensitisation [PDF]

, 2012
Several field studies have reported an inverse relationship between the prevalence of helminth infections and that of allergic sensitisation/atopy. Recent studies show that immune responses induced by helminth parasites are, to an extent, comparable to ...

Anti-CD321 antibody immunotherapy protects liver against ischemia and reperfusion-induced injury

Scientific Reports, 2021
The prognosis of the liver transplant patients was frequently deteriorated by ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) in the liver. Infiltration of inflammatory cells is reported to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of hepatic IRI.
