Activated status of basophils in chronic urticaria leads to interleukin-3 hyper-responsiveness and enhancement of histamine release induced by anti-IgE stimulus
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008)
Background Basophils and mast cells are the main target cells in chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). Besides the basopenia, intrinsic defects of the anti-IgE cross-linking signalling pathway of basophils have been described ...
THE LONG-TERM EVOLUTION OF IMMUNE DEPOSITS IN PASSIVE HEYMANN NEPHRITIS
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 1992-01-01)
1. To study the long term course of passive Heymann nephritis (PHN), 42 adult male Wistar rats were injected with rabbit anti-FX1A serum (PHN group) and 42 rats received normal rabbit serum (control group). Two animals ...
Production of autoantibodies associated with polyclonal activation in Yersinia enterocolitica 0:8-infected mice
(Center Academic Publ Japan, 2005-03-29)
Polyclonal lymphocyte stimulation is one of the immunomodulatory mechanisms induced by arthritogenic pathogens. In this study we examined the polyclonal activation potential of a virulent strain of Y. enterocolitica serotype ...
Increased circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and imbalanced regulatory T-cell cytokines production in chronic idiopathic urticaria
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
The immunologic characterization of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), mainly regarding cytokine profile needs more investigation. We examined circulating inflammatory cytokine levels, T-cell induced secretion, and cytokine ...
Antioxidant treatment protects against matrix metalloproteinase activation and cardiomyocyte injury during acute pulmonary thromboembolism
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities and may underlie cardiomyocyte injury and the degradation of cardiac troponin I (cTI) during acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APT). ...
Metalloproteinase inhibition protects against cardiomyocyte injury during experimental acute pulmonary thromboembolism
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011)
Objectives: Up-regulated matrix metalloproteinases may be involved in the development of cardiomyocyte injury and the degradation of troponin associated with acute pulmonary thromboembolism. We examined whether pretreatment ...
