Cortisol Dose-Dependently Impairs Migration and Tube-like Formation in a Trophoblast Cell Line and Modulates Inflammatory and Angiogenic Genes

Biomedicines, 2021
Several stimuli can change maternal hormone levels during pregnancy. These changes may affect trophoblastic cells and modulate the development of the embryo and the placental tissue itself.

Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptors in Patients with Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1996
The levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) were measured in the serum of 52 patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma and compared to CEA and CA 19-9 levels. Twenty-five normal, age and sex-matched individuals served as controls.

Serum soluble interleukin-2 receptors in epithelial ovarian cancer patients

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1995
The levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-R2) were measured in the serum of 52 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma as well as in 25 age and sex-matched normal controls.

Chronic Effects of Subcutaneous Interleukin-2 Therapy on Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptors in Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1993
The increase in IL-2 receptor serum levels is one of the most typical changes in immune parameters during IL-2 cancer immunotherapy. To better define the effects of prolonged IL-2 injection on SIL-2R levels, we evaluated 7 advanced small cell lung cancer

Essential role of NK cells in IgG therapy for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Intravenous immunoglobulin has long been used in treating autoimmune diseases, although mechanisms remain uncertain. Activating Fcγ receptors are receptors of IgG and reported to be essential in intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy.

Characterization of Endocannabinoid System and Interleukin Profiles in Ovine AEC: Cannabinoid Receptors Type-1 and Type-2 as Key Effectors of Pro-Inflammatory Response

Cells, 2020
Amniotic epithelial cells (AEC) have been proposed as promising clinical candidates for regenerative medicine therapies due to their immunomodulatory capacity.

Permethrin induced arterial retention of native and oxidized LDL in rats by promoting inflammation, oxidative stress and affecting LDL receptors, and collagen genes

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
This study is the first to examine the possible mechanism by which long-term exposure to permethrin (PER) can promote arterial retention of proatherogenic lipid and lipoproteins and related vascular dysfunction in rats.

Interleukin-2 Receptor Positive Cells and Circulating Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptors in Patients with Solid Tumors are not Correlated

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1989
Activated lymphocytes can release a soluble form of IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R), which retains the capacity to bind IL-2. Abnormally high values of sIL-2R have been observed in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Toll-Interleukin 1 Receptor Domain-Containing Adaptor Protein 180L Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Is Associated With Susceptibility to Recurrent Pneumococcal Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in Children

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are often caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) and can be recurrent in 8% of children older than 2 years of age.

Cytokines of Birds: Conserved Functions [PDF]

, 2001
Targeted disruptions of the mouse genes for cytokines, cytokine receptors, or components of cytokine signaling cascades convincingly revealed the important roles of these molecules in immunologic processes. Cytokines are used at present as drugs to fight
