Identification of novel molecular signatures of IgA nephropathy through an integrative -omics analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent among primary glomerular diseases worldwide. Although our understanding of IgAN has advanced significantly, its underlying biology and potential drug targets are still unexplored.

Alternative transcripts of the SERPINA1 gene in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2015
SERPINA1 is the gene for alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), an acute phase protein with anti-protease and immunoregulatory activities. Mutations in SERPINA1 gene cause AAT deficiency and predispose individuals to early-onset emphysema and liver diseases. Expression of the SERPINA1 gene is regulated by different promoters and alternative splicing events among ...

Identification of SERPINA1 promoting better prognosis in papillary thyroid carcinoma along with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis through WGCNA analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
BackgroundHashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune thyroid disease. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine cancer. In recent years the rate of coexistence between PTC and HT has increased but the relationship between them ...

Does urinary peptide content differ between COPD patients with and without inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Differentiating between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with normal (PiMM) or deficient (PiZZ) genetic variants of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is important not only for understanding the pathobiology of disease progression but also ...

Familial vasculitides: granulomatosis with polyangitis and microscopic polyangitis in two brothers with differing anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody specificity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Although the aetiology of AAV is uncertain, it is likely that genetic and environmental factors contribute.

Polymorphism of SERPINE2 gene is associated with pulmonary emphysema in consecutive autopsy cases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background The SERPINA1, SERPINA3, and SERPINE2 genes, which encode antiproteases, have been proposed to be susceptible genes for of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and related phenotypes.

Serpina1 (α1-AT) is synthesized in the osteoblastic stem cell niche

open access: yesExperimental Hematology, 2009
Previously, we identified Serpina1 as a potent inhibitor of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSC/HPC) mobilization. Serpina1 protein is found in the bone marrow (BM) extracellular fluid and concentrations are decreased during granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-induced HSC/HPC mobilization in mice.

The Effects of Rare SERPINA1 Variants on Lung Function and Emphysema in SPIROMICS

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Abstract Rationale The role of PI (protease inhibitor) type Z heterozygotes and additional rare variant genotypes in the gene encoding alpha-1 antitrypsin, SERPINA1 (serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 1), in determining chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk and severity is ...

SERPINB3 delays glomerulonephritis and attenuates the lupus-like disease in lupus murine models by inducing a more tolerogenic immune phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Objective: To explore the effects of SERPINB3 administration in murine lupus models with a focus on lupus-like nephritis. Methods: 40 NZB/W F1 mice were subdivided into 4 groups and intraperitoneally injected with recombinant SERPINB3 (7.5 \u3bcg/0.1 mL ...
