Polymorphisms of the CD24 Gene Are Associated with Risk of Multiple Sclerosis: A Meta-Analysis
(2015)
CD24 is a cell-surface protein mainly expressed in cells of the immune and central nervous system (CNS), cells that play a critical role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). In the current study, we investigated ...
Reconstitution of human hypoxia inducible factor HIF-1 in yeast: A simple in vivo system to identify and characterize HIF-1 alpha effectors
(2006)
Hypoxia inducible factor I (HIF-1), the master regulator of hypoxia-activated genes, is involved in many diseases and is a valid drug target. In order to develop a simple and genetically tractable in vivo system for HIF-1 ...
Effect of CRH on NO bioavailability, ROS production and antioxidant defense systems in endothelial EAhy926 cells
(2010)
Local or 'Immune' Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) is secreted in peripheral tissues and plays a direct immunomodulatory role as an endocrine or paracrine mediator of inflammation. The present study was undertaken to ...
Mapping interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 gene (ILF3) to human chromosome 19 (19q11-qter and 19p11-p13.1) by polymerase chain reaction amplification of human-rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA templates
(1998)
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is the first lymphokine secreted following T cell activation. Several transcription factors regulate IL-2 gene expression, including the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), NFAT acts at the ...
Oxygen-dependent secretion of a bioactive hepcidin-GFP chimera
(2013)
Hepcidin, a hepatic hormone, regulates serum iron levels by controlling both intestinal iron absorption and iron release from macrophages. Although transcription of hepcidin is controlled by diverse stimuli, it remains ...
Genetic analysis of C5a receptors in neutrophils from patients with familial Mediterranean fever
(2012)
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease, characterized by MEFV gene mutations and self-limited recurrent episodes of fever and localized serositis. Complement system is a key regulator of the ...
Migfilin's elimination from osteoarthritic chondrocytes further promotes the osteoarthritic phenotype via beta-catenin upregulation
(2013)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease of the joints characterized by cartilage degradation but to date there is no available pharmacological treatment to inhibit disease progression neither is there any available ...
The dietary flavonoid kaempferol effectively inhibits HIF-1 activity and hepatoma cancer cell viability under hypoxic conditions
(2010)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by high mortality rates and resistance to conventional treatment. HCC tumors usually develop local hypoxia, which stimulates proliferation of cancer cells and renders them ...
