Angiotensin II up-regulates CX3CR1 expression in THP-1 monocytes: impact on vascular inflammation and atherogenesis
Apostolakis, S.; Vlata, Z.; Vogiatzi, K.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2010)The potential regulatory effect of angiotensins on circulating mononuclear cell activation and migration has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Using flow cytometry we assessed the possible effect of angiotensin I and II ... -
CX3CR1 receptor is up-regulated in monocytes of coronary artery diseased patients: Impact of pre-inflammatory stimuli and renin-angiotensin system modulators
Apostolakis, S.; Krambovitis, E.; Vlata, Z.; Kochiadakis, G. E.; Baritaki, S.; Spandidos, D. A. (2007)Fractalkine/CX3CR1 pathway is considered a major modulator of atherosclerosis. In the present study, expression of CX3CR1 on PBMCs/monocytes of healthy individuals and coronary artery diseased patients was initially assessed ... -
IL-1 cytokines in cardiovascular disease: Diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic implications
Apostolakis, S.; Vogiatzi, K.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2008)Interleukins (ILs) are key mediators in the chronic vascular inflammatory response underlying several aspects of cardiovascular disease. Due to their powerful pro-inflammatory potential, and the fact that they are highly ... -
RANTES promoter gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe respiratory syncytial virus-induced bronchiolitis
Amanatidou, V.; Sourvinos, G.; Apostolakis, S.; Neonaki, P.; Tsilimigaki, A.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2008)Background: Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is characterized by enhanced chemokine activity. Several studies have linked increased regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) ...
