Geranylgeranyl transferase regulates streptococcal m1 protein-induced CXC chemokine formation and neutrophil recruitment in the lung

, 2013
: Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is most frequently associated with Streptococcus pyogenes of the M1 serotype. Simvastatin protects against M1 protein-induced acute lung damage, although downstream mechanisms remain elusive.

Regulation of Expression of CXC Chemokines in Cultured Hepatocytes [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2005
Chemokines are low molecular weight proteins (8-17 kDa). They are classified in four distinct groups as CXC, CC, CX3C and C. Depending on the presence or absence of a motif called ELR (Arg-Leu-Glu) before the first cysteine residue in their structure ...

The chemokine receptor‐like fourth extracellular loop of the apelin receptor differentially regulates apelin and elabela binding and signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Apelin and Elabela are endogenous ligands of the apelin receptor (apelin receptor/APJ), a GPCR involved in cardiovascular regulation and body fluid homeostasis. The human receptor contains a conserved disulfide bridge linking the N‐terminal domain to extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) via Cys19 and Cys281, forming a structural ...

ELR+ CXC chemokine signalling in cartilage homeostasis.

, 2011
PhDThe production of ELR+ CXC chemokines is widely studied in arthritis and has been postulated to contribute to the inflammatory phenomena that eventually lead to cartilage breakdown.

Corneal and Conjunctival Fibroblasts Are Major Sources of Eosinophil-Recruiting Chemokines

Allergology International, 2009
Background: Differential expression of chemokine genes were investigated in various types of ocular surface cells. Methods: Primary cultures of human corneal epithelial cells (n = 3), corneal fibroblasts (n = 2), conjunctival epithelial cells (n = 2) and

Zeb2 Controls Retinal Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis by Regulating Astrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

Regenerative Endodontics in Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Scoping Review

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have been widely used to manage a range of pulpal pathologies, particularly in immature permanent teeth. The development of bioactive calcium silicate–based materials has led to a paradigm shift in vital pulp therapy (VPT) and REPs.

The Interplay of M1 Macrophages and Dental Pulp Stem Cells Promotes Angiogenesis Through IL‐8‐Dependent VEGF Regulation: An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp inflammation triggers immune responses involving macrophages and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which interact to regulate angiogenesis essential for tissue repair. M1 pro‐inflammatory macrophages predominate early in pulpitis, and clarifying their angiogenic role is vital in identifying inflammatory regenerative ...

TRIM proteins and CXS chemokines : evolutionary dynamics and functional characterization of two large protein families in teleost fish

, 2012
Two large protein families with roles in the immune system were the subject of this thesis. In part one of the thesis, TRIM proteins were studied, which are part of an ancient intracellular immune system. In mammals, TRIM proteins were recently found to

The CXCL10/CXCR3 axis in acute respiratory distress syndrome [PDF]

Jichu yixue yu linchuang
The CXC chemokine ligand-10/CXC receptor-3 (CXCL10/CXCR3) axis, a crucial pathway mediating Th1-type immunity, substantially contributes to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) by enhancing inflammatory storms.
