Molecular Functions and Drug Prediction of MMP1 and TGFBR2 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
MMP1 and TGFBR2 were validated by machine learning and external datasets as the candidate genes. Dexamethasone showed strong binding affinity to MMP1 (−7.72 kcal/mol) and TGFBR2 (−7.27 kcal/mol) in docking studies. Knockdown of MMP1 repressed the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.

On CXC Chemokines in Endotoxin-Induced Liver Injury [PDF]

, 2004
Leukocyte recruitment is a rate-limiting step in endotoxemic liver injury. Leukocyte extravasation is a multistep process, supported by multiple combinations of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors. This thesis examined the mechanisms of activation,

Periodontitis during pregnancy: The effect on the gut microbiome and intestinal inflammation

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis has been epidemiologically associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but causality remains difficult to establish in humans due to confounding factors. This study uses a controlled murine model to examine the effects of experimentally induced periodontitis on the composition of the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal

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 ...

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.

Breast tumor cell soluble factors induce monocytes to produce angiogenic but not angiostatic CXC chemokines [PDF]

, 2005
Tumor cells are known to interact closely with nontumoral infiltrating cells in order to grow and proliferate. Monocyte-derived cells constitute a major component of the tumoral infiltrate and a high level of these cells has been associated with ...

Interleukin(IL)-36α and IL-36γ Induce Proinflammatory Mediators from Human Colonic Subepithelial Myofibroblasts

Frontiers in Medicine, 2015
Background: Interleukin (IL)-36 cytokines are recently reported member of the IL-1 cytokine family. However, there is little information regarding the association between IL-36 cytokines and gut inflammation.

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 ...

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.
