The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Leukocyte chemotaxis assay development and studies of leukocyte chemotaxis modulation by metallothionein

open access: yes, 2006
In this work, we have first developed a novel method, ECIS/taxis, for monitoring cell movement in response to chemotactic factors. In ECIS/taxis, cells migrate under-agarose, and their positions are monitored using the electric cell substrate impedance ...

Analysis of the Recovery of Immune Status in the Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria After Treatment With C5 Complement Inhibitor

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We retrospectively evaluated the impact of C5 complement inhibition on immune cell profiles and recovery in 27 PNH patients; both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited partial recovery, while B cell counts increased but remained below normal levels. In contrast, Treg cells were significantly reduced in PNH patients and showed no notable change post‐treatment.

Differential involvement of RelB in morphine-induced modulation of chemotaxis NO and cytokine production in murine macrophages and lymphocytes

open access: yes, 2006
Acute morphine impairs innate and acquired immunity. The mechanisms involved in immunosuppression have not been well defined yet. The transcription factor NF-kappaB is a central regulator of immunity, and of the NF-kappaB family, RelB is particularly ...

Reconceptualizing Aplastic Anemia—Seed, Worm, Soil

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Aplastic anemia (AA) encompasses a group of hematological syndromes often misdiagnosed, resulting in a decrease in the overall blood cell count and representing a form of bone marrow failure. We reinterpret AA based on the “seed, worm, and soil” doctrine.

DAPK2 positively regulates motility of neutrophils and eosinophils in response to intermediary chemoattractants

open access: yes, 2013
The tight regulation of granulocyte chemotaxis is crucial for initiation and resolution of inflammation. Here, we show that DAPK2, a Ca(2+)/CaM-sensitive serine/threonine kinase known to modulate cell death in various cell types, is a novel regulator of ...

Surveying immune and inflammatory alterations in periodontitis among individuals with Down syndrome: A preliminary cross‐sectional study

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are particularly vulnerable to early‐onset and rapidly progressing periodontitis, yet the local immune‐inflammatory alterations that contribute to this susceptibility are not fully understood. This study aimed to characterize cytokine profiles in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from individuals ...

Potential Compounds as Inhibitors of Staphylococcal Virulence Factors Involved in the Development of Thrombosis

open access: yesToxins
For many years, staphylococci have been detected mainly in infections of the skin and soft tissues, organs, bone inflammations, and generalized infections.
