Specific Involvement of G Proteins in Regulation of Serum Response Factor-mediated Gene Transcription by Different Receptors [PDF]

, 1998
Regulation of serum response factor (SRF)-mediated gene transcription by G protein subunits and G protein-coupled receptors was investigated in transfected NIH3T3 cells and in a cell line that was derived from mice lacking G_(αq) and G_(α11).

Polymorphisms in Interleukin 13 Signaling and Interacting Genes Predict Advanced Fibrosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

Biology, 2020
Background: non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) recently headlined hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. This study aims to unveil the role of some unaddressed critical players that might aid in understanding, predicting, and targeting NASH and NASH-

Kinetic Analysis of the Interleukin-13 Receptor Complex [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Interleukin (IL)-13 is a key cytokine associated with the asthmatic phenotype. It signals via its cognate receptor, a complex of IL-13 receptor alpha1 chain (IL-13Ralpha1) with IL-4Ralpha; however, a second protein, IL-13Ralpha2, also binds IL-13. To determine the binding contributions of the individual components of the IL-13 receptor to IL-13, we ...

In vivo targeting of lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with the Tupaia paramyxovirus H glycoprotein bearing a cell-specific ligand

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Despite their exceptional capacity for transgene delivery ex vivo, lentiviral (LV) vectors have been slow to demonstrate clinical utility in the context of in vivo applications.

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]

, 1999
Sepsis with multiple organ failure is frequently associated with a substantial decrease of cholesterol levels. This decrease of cholesterol is strongly associated with mortality suggesting a direct relation between inflammatory conditions and altered ...

Development and characterization of monoclonal antibodies specific for chicken interleukin-13 and their neutralizing effects in chicken primary monocytes

Poultry Science, 2020
Compared with mammals, the functionality of chicken cytokines is not well understood because of the unavailability of immune reagents. Mammalian interleukin (IL)-13 is an important Th2 type cytokine with well-known biological functions through its 2 ...

Sequence specific detection of bacterial 23S ribosomal RNA by TLR13

eLife, 2012
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) detect microbial infections and trigger innate immune responses. Among vertebrate TLRs, the role of TLR13 and its ligand are unknown. Here we show that TLR13 detects the 23S ribosomal RNA of both gram-positive and gram-negative

Leukotriene D4 and interleukin-13 cooperate to increase the release of eotaxin-3 by airway epithelial cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Airway epithelial cells play a central role in the physiopathology of asthma. They release eotaxins when treated with T(H)2 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13, and these chemokines attract eosinophils and potentiate the biosynthesis of ...

Oncostatin M suppresses IL31RA expression in dorsal root ganglia and interleukin-31-induced itching

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intermittent itchy rash. Type 2 inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and IL-31 are strongly implicated in AD pathogenesis.

The Correlation of CD206, CD209, and Disease Severity in Behçet’s Disease with Arthritis

Mediators of Inflammation, 2017
The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of pattern recognition receptors in Behçet’s disease (BD). The frequencies of several pattern recognition receptors (CD11b, CD11c, CD32, CD206, CD209, and dectin-1) were analyzed in patients with BD by ...
