Initial characterization of the carbohydrate structure of MCP-1
MCP-1 is the principle monocyte chemoattractant produced by tumor cells in vitro. We previously identified different isoforms of MCP-1. Here we report that two predominant isoforms of MCP-1 (13 kD and 9 kD) can be distinguished by lectin binding. The results indicate that the disaccharide galactose-beta 1-3D-N-acetyl galactosamine is present on the 13 ...

The Chemokine MIG is Associated with an Increased Risk of COVID-19 Mortality in Mexican Patients [PDF]
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emergent viral disease in which the host inflammatory response modulates the clinical outcome. Severe outcomes are associated with an exacerbation of inflammation in which chemokines play an important

Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 as a Diagnostic Marker for Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Egypt [PDF]
Background and study aim: Hepatocellullar carcinoma (HCC) is usually diagnosed at advanced stage resulting in limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. The role of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the diagnosis of HCC is controversial.

Rack1 regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines by NF-κB in diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the chronic microvascular diseases of diabetes. Studies revealed that inflammation is involved in the development of DN. However, its mechanisms are not fully clear. Here, we screened DN-related mRNAs by RNA sequencing

trans-Chalcone protects male rats against high-fat emulsion-induced pancreatic injury by inhibiting TNF-α and MCP-1 expression [PDF]
Background. High-fat diet (HFD) intake is linked to ectopic fat deposition in the pancreas. It also causes pancreatic inflammatory lesions. trans-Chalcone is a simple chalcone with protective effects against HFD-induced metabolic disorders.

The miR-145 rs353291 C allele increases susceptibility to atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the leading causes of death, with variable frequencies in different populations. To this end, we examined whether AS is associated with the miR-145 rs353291 polymorphism and specific rs353291 alleles.
