Soluble ST2 and Galectin-3 and Progression of CKD [PDF]
Introduction: Cardiac biomarkers soluble ST2 (sST2) and galectin-3 may reflect cardiac inflammation and fibrosis. It is plausible that these mechanisms may also contribute to the progression of kidney disease.

Soluble ST2 levels are associated with bleeding in patients with severe Leptospirosis. [PDF]
Severe leptospirosis features bleeding and multi-organ failure, leading to shock and death. Currently it is assumed that both exaggerated inflammation and immune suppression contribute to mortality in sepsis. Indeed, several proinflammatory cytokines are

A role for soluble ST2 in vascular remodeling associated with obesity in rats. [PDF]
BackgroundThe function of the Interleukin-33 (IL-33)/ST2 system has been mainly investigated on immunological aspects, but recent data suggest that this pathway plays also an important role in cardiovascular system and adipose tissue.

ST2 in patients with severe aortic stenosis and heart failure
BACKGROUND: ST2 is a circulating biomarker that is well established for predicting outcome in heart failure (HF). This is the first study to look at ST2 concentrations in optimally treated patients with stable but significant left ventricular systolic ...

Pulmonary Production of Soluble ST2 in Heart Failure [PDF]
Background: Serum concentrations of ST2 (interleukin-1 receptor-like 1) represent a meaningful prognostic marker in cardiac diseases. Production of soluble ST2 (sST2) may be partially extracardiac. Identification of sST2 sources is relevant to design strategies for modulating its signaling.

Performance Evaluation of AFIAS ST2 and Ichroma ST2 Assays in Comparison with Presage ST2 Assay
Background: Elevated soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) levels may predict mortality in heart failure (HF) patients. The AFIAS ST2 assay (AFIAS ST2, Boditech Med Inc., Chuncheon, Korea) and ichroma ST2 assay (ichroma ST2, Boditech Med Inc ...

Clinical value of soluble ST2 in cardiology
We are constantly looking for new parameters and markers that can help in the assessment of patients with various diseases, including cardiac disorders; this can translate into better care and improved prognosis. Suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) has recently gained interest as a potential biomarker in many fields: it is involved in many ...

Soluble ST2 predicts elevated SBP in the community [PDF]
Soluble ST2 (sST2) is an emerging prognostic biomarker in patients with existing cardiovascular disease. ST2 and its ligand, interleukin-33 (IL-33), are expressed in endothelial cells, and may play an important role in the development of early atherosclerosis and vascular biology.

Role of the IL-33/ST2/p38 signaling pathway in the immune response of corneal epithelial cells to Aspergillus fumigatus infection [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the expression of interleukin (IL)-33 in the cornea and human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) exposed to Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus), and to determine the function of IL-33/ST2/p38 signaling pathway in the immune response of
