The angiogenic pathway 'vascular endothelial growth factor/flk-I (KDR)-receptor' in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
(2001)Active angiogenesis, together with an up-regulation of angiogenic factors, is evident in the synovium of both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). The present study assessed, by immunohistochemistry, the ... -
The Catabolic Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Mediated by the NF-kappa B Pathway in Septic Arthritis
(2011)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in mediating cell activation on stimulation with microbial components. Our objective was to investigate the role of 'PLR-2 mediated by the NF-kappa B pathway in septic arthritic ... -
Lipopolysaccharide and hypoxia significantly alters interleukin-8 and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 production by human fibroblasts but not fibrosis related factors
(2011)Besides extracellular matrix production, fibroblasts are able to produce various cytokines. Their ubiquitous position makes fibroblasts appropriate cells for sensing various noxious stimuli and for attracting immune cells ...
