Adiposity and Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation Modulate Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Levels in Greek Children With Sleep Apnea
(2010)Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plasma levels correlate with C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and they are both increased in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). No studies have evaluated MMP-9 ... -
In vivo induction of the autophagic machinery in human bone marrow cells during Leishmania donovani complex infection
(2009)Autophagy is a homeostatic process promoting cell survival in periods of stress. The induction of the autophagic machinery has also been implicated in both innate and adaptive immunity. Leishmania donovani, which is the ... -
Perforin down-regulation and adhesion molecules activation in pulmonary sarcoidosis - An induced sputum and BAL study
(2006)Background. Sarcoidosis is drought to be a T-helper type 1 cytokine-mediated disorder. Sputum induction has been proposed as a useful noninvasive method mainly for the assessment of airway diseases. However, it is unknown ... -
Protein and mRNA expression levels of VEGF-A and TGF-B1 in different types of human coronary atherosclerotic lesions
(2005)It is well documented that inflammation plays a major role in the establishment and progression of atherosclerosis. Endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and m onocytes/macrophages are involved in this process ... -
Regulation of the autophagic machinery in human neutrophils
(2010)The induction of the autophagy machinery, a process for the catabolism of cytosolic proteins and organelles, constitutes a crucial mechanism in innate immunity. However, the involvement of autophagy in human neutrophils ...
