Galectin-1 functions as a Th2 cytokine that selectively induces Th1 apoptosis and promotes Th2 function
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2008-11)
Galectin-1 has been implicated in regulating T-cell survival, function, and Th1/Th2 balance in several mouse models, though the molecular and cellular basis of its immunomodulatory activity has not been completely ...
CXCL12 is a costimulator for CD4+ T cell activation and proliferation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients
(Springer, 2013-01)
Activated T cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) provide survival and proliferative signals to the leukemic clone within lymphoid tissues. Recruitment of both, CLL cells and T lymphocytes, to this ...
Curcumin inhibits the growth, induces apoptosis and modulates the function of pituitary folliculostellate cells
(Karger, 2010-03)
The polyphenol curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the active componenet of the spice plant Curcuma longa and has been shown to exert multiple actions on mammalian cells. We have studied its effect on folliculostellate (FS) ...
Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans as regulators of cancer stem cell function and therapeutic resistance
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-06-23)
In contrast to the bulk of the tumor, a subset of cancer cells called cancer stem cells (or tumor-initiating cells) is characterized by self-renewal, unlimited proliferative potential, expression of multidrug-resistance ...
Regulatory Dendritic Cells restrain NK cell IFN-g production through mechanisms involving NKp46, IL-10 and MHC class I-specific inhibitory receptors
(Amer Assoc Immunologists, 2015-09-01)
Cross-talk between mature dendritic cells (mDC) and NK cells through the cell surface receptors NKp30 and DNAM-1 leads to their reciprocal activation. However, the impact of regulatory dendritic cells (regDC) on NK cell ...
Functional cross talk after activation of p2 and p1 receptors in oviductal ciliated cellsAMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY-CELL PHYSIOLOGYAM J PHYSIOL-CELL PH
(AMERICAN PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 2017)
Lipid raft-dependent adhesion of Giardia intestinalis trophozoites to a cultured human enterocyte-like Caco-2/TC7 cell monolayer leads to cytoskeleton-dependent functional injuries
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-11)
Gardia intestinalis, the aetiological agent of giardiasis, one of the most common intestinal diseases in both developing and developed countries, induces a loss of epithelial barrier function and functional injuries of the ...
Characterization of Tunneling Nanotubes in Wharton’s jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells. An Intercellular Exchange of Components between Neighboring Cells
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-08)
Intercellular communication is one of the most important events in cell population behavior. In the last decade, tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) have been recognized as a new form of long distance intercellular connection. TNT ...
Modulation of the phenotype and function of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-stimulated dendritic cells by adrenal steroids
(Oxford University Press, 2013-02)
Cell-mediated immunity, cytokines induced during the specific immune response and T-cell populations are crucial factors for containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Recent reports suggest a cross-regulation between ...
A stochastic characterization of hydrogen peroxide-induced regulated cell death in microcystis aeruginosa
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-28)
Regulated cell death (RCD) encompasses the activation of cellular pathways that initiate and execute a self-dismissal process. RCD occur over a range of stressors doses that overcome pro-survival cellular pathways, while ...
