Glycoxidated ferritin induces the release of microparticles positive for Toll-like receptors derived from peripheral blood CD14+ cells [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2017
Both increased serum ferritin levels and Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation show independent association with the inflammatory processes. During inflammation, cell activation and apoptosis are accompanied by the release of membrane-derived ...

Microparticles as Potential Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015
Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is a choice of great relevance because of its impact on health. Some biomarkers, such as microparticles derived from different cell populations, have been considered useful in the assessment of cardiovascular ...

Immune cell-derived microparticles in polymyositis/dermatomyositis [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2010
Microparticles are recently recognised players of intercellular communication. They are involved in signal transduction, cell activation and apoptosis. Their importance is also suggested in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis. We investigated the role of microparticles in polymyositis/dermatomyositis, a group of rare

Mechanism of trophoblast cell‐derived microparticles mediated immunocontraceptive response

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2023
AbstractProblemImmunomodulation profoundly affects the process of human implantation. Trophoblast cell‐derived microparticles (Tr‐MPs) may activate specific T cells to attack trophoblast cells, thus potentially acting as an immunocontraceptive vaccine.

Macrophages Discriminate Glycosylation Patterns of Apoptotic Cell-derived Microparticles [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012
Inappropriate clearance of apoptotic remnants is considered to be the primary cause of systemic autoimmune diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus. Here we demonstrate that apoptotic cells release distinct types of subcellular membranous particles (scMP) derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or the plasma membrane.

Leukocyte-derived microparticles and scanning electron microscopic structures in two fractions of fresh cerebrospinal fluid in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2012
Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by degeneration of motoneuron cells in anterior spinal horns. There is a need for early and accurate diagnosis with this condition.

Extracellular microparticles derived from hepatic progenitor cells deliver a death signal to hepatoma-initiating cells

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
The malignant transformation of normal resident hepatic stem/progenitor cells has a critical role in hepatocarcinogenesis and the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We defined such hepatic progenitor cells as hepatoma-initiating cells.

Neurokinin 1 receptor mediates membrane blebbing and sheer stress-induced microparticle formation in HEK293 cells.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Cell-derived microparticles participate in intercellular communication similar to the classical messenger systems of small and macro-molecules that bind to specialized membrane receptors. Microparticles have been implicated in the regulation of a variety

Small tumour microparticle enhances drug delivery efficiency and therapeutic antitumour efficacy

Cancer Nanotechnology, 2022
Background Targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to tumour cells is a major challenge for cancer chemotherapy. Recent studies show that tumour cell-derived microparticles can be used as vectors to package chemotherapeutic drugs, and selectively ...

Mitigating the non-specific uptake of immunomagnetic microparticles enables the extraction of endothelium from human fat

Communications Biology, 2021
Antonyshyn et al. establish a methodology for acquiring human adipose tissue-derived microvascular endothelial cells that can be readily applied in future vascular tissue engineering applications.
