Pentraxin 3 promotes airway inflammation in experimental asthma

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2020
Background Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) regulates multiple aspects of innate immunity and tissue inflammation. Recently, it has been reported that PTX3 deficiency enhances interleukin (IL)-17A–dominant pulmonary inflammation in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced mouse ...

Exploring vaginal microbiota–tissue resident stem cell crosstalk: VCAM1/Akt signaling ‐mediated enhancement of regenerative capacity

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Vaginal microbiota‐derived secretory factors enhance the regenerative capacity of human endometrial stem cells by upregulating VCAM1 and activating PI3K/Akt signaling. This microbiota–stem cell crosstalk promotes self‐renewal, migration, multilineage differentiation, and metabolic reprogramming in vitro and in vivo, establishing a novel microbiota ...

Pentraxin 3 and C-Reactive Protein As Inflammatory Markers After a Kidney Transplant

open access: yes, 2014
Objectives: There are numerous changes in inflammatory status that occur after a kidney transplant. Pentraxin 3 is a marker of inflammation, but little information is available about pentraxin 3 levels after a kidney transplant. We evaluated the relation

Immunological assessment of myocardial fibrosis in patients with chronic heart failure associated with rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Медицинские науки, 2021
Background. The study of morphofunctional parameters of the myocardium in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) against the background of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is necessary to assess the severity and prognosis of the underlying disease. Modern

Integrative Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals Convergent Epigenome and Transcriptome Changes in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The mechanisms that predispose dopaminergic neurons (DAN) to degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) are incompletely understood. Objective To perform an integrative multi‐omics reanalysis of single‐cell transcriptomic and epigenomic data to identify convergent alterations predisposing dopaminergic neurons to degeneration in ...

Anti-pentraxin antibodies in autoimmune systemic diseases: Focus on anti-pentraxin-3 autoantibodies

open access: yes, 2017
International audiencePentraxins are soluble pattern recognition molecules implicated not only in the opsonization and removal of microorganisms but also in the clearance of modified self (i.e., dying cells).

Pentraxin 3 mediates neurogenesis and angiogenesis after cerebral ischaemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: The acute phase protein pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a new biomarker of stroke severity and is a key regulator of oedema resolution and glial responses after cerebral ischaemia, emerging as a possible target for brain repair after stroke ...

Pentraxin-3 in hemodialysis patients: Relationship to comorbidities

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2016
Hemodialysis (HD), despite being the most common treatment modality for endstage renal disease (ESRD), still carries a mortality rate higher than 20-50%/year resulting from various comorbidities. The aim of this study was to measure the plasma level of pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) in patients on maintenance HD and to assess its relationships to comorbidities ...
