Haptoglobin Regulates Macrophage/Microglia‐Induced Inflammation and Prevents Ischemic Brain Damage Via Binding to HMGB1

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background HMGB1 (high‐mobility group box 1) is known to worsen the functional prognosis after cerebral ischemia. Hp (haptoglobin) binds and sequesters HMGB1.

Elimination of avoidable blindness due to cataract: where do we prioritize and how should we monitor this decade? [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: In the final push toward the elimination of avoidable blindness, cataract occupies a position of eminence for the success of the Right to Sight initiative. AIMS: Review existing situation and assess what monitoring indicators may be useful to

Aplastic Crisis as Primary Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus [PDF]

, 2011
Aplastic crisis is an unusual feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report the case of a 54-year-old woman presenting with both (extravascular) Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia and laboratory findings of bone marrow hyporegeneration with ...

Haptoglobin gene polymorphisms and interleukin-6 and -8 levels in patients with sickle cell anemia

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2015
BACKGROUND: Haptoglobin genotypes, and interleukin-6 and -8 participate in the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia. The expression of cytokines is regulated by genetic mechanisms however the effect of haptoglobin polymorphisms on these cytokines is not

Quantification of Intact O-Glycopeptides on Haptoglobin in Sera of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Liver Cirrhosis

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Haptoglobin (Hp) is one of the acute-phase response proteins secreted by the liver, and its aberrant N-glycosylation was previously reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Limited studies on Hp O-glycosylation have been previously reported.

Effect of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.

Topographical Variation of Iron‐Rimmed Lesions in the Multiple Sclerosis Brain and Spinal Cord: A Neuropathological Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Paramagnetic‐rim lesions are a novel diagnostic marker in multiple sclerosis (MS) and are associated with poor prognosis due to their link with chronic inflammation and disease progression. Analyzing 46 postmortem MS cases, researchers found no iron rims in 67 white matter and 85 grey matter spinal cord lesions, despite most being active.

Dysbiosis and zonulin upregulation alter gut epithelial and vascular barriers in patients with ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Dysbiosis has been recently demonstrated in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) but its implications in the modulation of intestinal immune responses have never been studied.

Haptoglobin inhibits phospholipid transfer protein activity in hyperlipidemic human plasma

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2009
Background Haptoglobin is a plasma protein that scavenges haemoglobin during haemolysis. Phospholipid Transfer Protein (PLTP) transfers lipids from Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) to High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). PLTP is involved in the pathogenesis of
