Correlation between pentraxin-3 and endothelial dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2015
Background and Aim: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Recent studies showed endothelial dysfunction and pentraxin-3 both of an early marker for development of cardiovascular disease. The aim

Pentraxin 3 and atherosclerosis among type 2 diabetic patients

Open Life Sciences, 2017
Type 2 diabetes is contemporarily a major social and epidemiological problem and among others is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Pentraxin 3, a potential early biomarker of atherosclerosis, is an acute-phase reactant produced by the ...

Pentraxin 3: An Immuno-regulator in the Lungs [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
Pentraxin-3 (PTX3), is a soluble pattern recognition receptor (PRR) and constitutes humoral component of the innate immune system. It interacts with pathogenic moieties, infected and dying host cells and facilitates their removal through activation of ...

Inflammation and thrombosis in essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera: different role of C-reactive protein and pentraxin 3 [PDF]

Haematologica, 2011
We tested the hypothesis that levels of pentraxin high sensitivity C-reactive protein and pentraxin 3 might be correlated with cardiovascular complications in patients with essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera.

The role of pentraxin 3 in pemphigus vulgaris

Advances in Dermatology and Allergology, 2020
Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune bullous diseases caused by antibodies directed against the desmosomal adhesion molecules desmoglein 1 and 3, which are required for intercellular adhesion of keratinocytes. Pentraxins are a group of proteins that function as pattern recognition molecules and also play a role in humoral innate immunity.

Elevated plasma levels of the long pentraxin, pentraxin 3, in severe dengue virus infections

Journal of Medical Virology, 2005
AbstractC‐reactive protein is one of the most widely used indicators of the response of acute‐phase proteins. The measurement of C‐reactive protein in dengue, however, is clinically not useful, because of marginally elevated levels and absent association with disease severity.

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

International Reviews of Immunology, 2017
Pentraxins 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). Pentraxins can be classified into short pentraxins (C-reactive protein and serum amyloid-P component) and long pentraxins with pentraxin-3 (PTX3), the prototypic one ...
