Computational Investigation of Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Calcification: Insights from Differential Gene Expression Analysis of Microarray Data [PDF]

Bioengineering
The dedifferentiation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is the main cause of atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. This study integrated the gene expression data of multiple microarrays to identify relevant marker molecules.

Degradation of collagen I by activated C1s in periodontal Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Periodontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (pEDS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by early-onset periodontitis leading to premature loss of teeth, lack of attached gingiva and thin and fragile gums leading to gingival recession. Connective tissue

Fluid-phase interaction of C1 inhibitor (C1 Inh) and the subcomponents C1r and C1s of the first component of complement, C1 [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1982
Interactions between proenzymic or activated complement subcomponents of C1 and C1 Inh (C1 inhibitor) were analysed by sucrose-density-gradient ultracentrifugation and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The interaction of C1 Inh with dimeric C1r in the presence of EDTA resulted into two bimolecular complexes accounting for a ...

Distinction of early complement classical and lectin pathway activation via quantification of C1s/C1-INH and MASP-1/C1-INH complexes using novel ELISAs

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The most commonly used markers to assess complement activation are split products that are produced through activation of all three pathways and are located downstream of C3. In contrast, C4d derives from the cleavage of C4 and indicates either classical

Gene editing in CHO cells to prevent proteolysis and enhance glycosylation: Production of HIV envelope proteins as vaccine immunogens.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Several candidate HIV subunit vaccines based on recombinant envelope (Env) glycoproteins have been advanced into human clinical trials. To facilitate biopharmaceutical production, it is necessary to produce these in CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells, the

An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of ionic liquids based on a bridged dicationic moiety

Journal of Chemical Research, 2022
A series of imidazolium and pyridinium-based bridged dicationic ionic liquids have been analysed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The different electronic environments of the dications have been investigated and a robust fitting model for the ...

Construction of a competitive endogenous RNA network and analysis of potential regulatory axis targets in glioblastoma

Cancer Cell International, 2021
Background Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. Because of the limited understanding of its pathogenesis, the prognosis of glioblastoma remains poor. This study was conducted to explore potential competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)

Two Different Missense C1S Mutations, Associated to Periodontal Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Lead to Identical Molecular Outcomes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by soft connective tissue alteration like joint hypermobility and skin hyper-extensibility. We previously identified heterozygous missense mutations in the

Alzheimer’s disease-associated complement gene variants influence plasma complement protein levels

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been associated with immune dysregulation in biomarker and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). GWAS hits include the genes encoding complement regulators clusterin (CLU) and complement receptor 1 (CR1 ...
