Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Intraluminal application of vascular endothelial growth factor enhances healing of microvascular anastomosis in a rat model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: Early reconstitution after injury to the endothelium is an important feature for reducing a number of vessel wall pathologies. We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and its impact on the vascular remodeling ...

Development of an electrochemical RNA-aptasensor to detect human osteopontin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Electrochemical aptasensors may be used to detect protein biomarkers related to tumor activity. Osteopontin (OPN), a protein present in several body fluids, has been suggested as a potential biomarker since its overexpression seems to be associated with ...

Aerosol delivery of small hairpin osteopontin blocks pulmonary metastasis of breast cancer in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Metastasis to the lung may be the final step in the breast cancer-related morbidity. Conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and surgery are somewhat successful, however, metastasis-related breast cancer morbidity remains high. Thus, a novel approach

Osteopontin as a Link between Inflammation and Cancer: The Thorax in the Spotlight

open access: yesCells, 2019
The glycoprotein osteopontin (OPN) possesses multiple functions in health and disease. To this end, osteopontin has beneficial roles in wound healing, bone homeostasis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) function.

Strong Associations between Plasma Osteopontin and Several Inflammatory Chemokines, Cytokines, and Growth Factors

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
Osteopontin is a member of the proinflammatory cytokine network, a complex system that involves many chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors. The aim of the present study was to study the associations between osteopontin and a large number of ...
