RET receptor activation targets expression of the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-11
… by gene rearrangements are associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In gene expression screens, interleukin-11 was identified as a RET-responsive gene. We sought to characterize the expression of IL-11 in response to activation of the RET receptor, and determine how IL-11 might …

Role of vascular smooth muscle Interleukin-11 in aortic aneurysm development
… treatment options. Our laboratory examined wild-type (WT) and BCL11B knockout (BSMKO) mice treated with Angiotensin II (AngII) for a period of 7 days. The BSMKO mice given AngII exhibited aneurysm formation, while the WT mice did not show this response. RNA sequencing of entire aortas from …

Cytokines and human endometrial function: Abnormalities in recurrent miscarriage women.
… The role of cytokines in the human endometrium still remains to be determined, but they are thought to play an important role in the implantation process. This study has therefore focused on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the human endometrium and effects of these cytokines on …

Investigating the Role of the PGF2 Alpha/Calcineurin-Signaling Pathway in the Regulation of Adipogenesis
… have now extended these findings to identify the IL-11 cytokine and the Nurr1 orphan nuclear hormone receptor as functionally important downstream transcriptional targets of the PGF2α/calcineurin-pathway involved in the inhibition of adipocyte differentiation. In the case of IL-11, we show …

Characterization of signalling cross-talk between the EP2 and FP receptors in endometrial epithelial cells
… and prolactin were not significantly altered while the EP3 subtype receptor was significantly down-regulated in fibroids compared to adjacent myometrium samples. The EP3 receptor has a protective role in tumor development suggesting the role for down-regulation of the receptor in uterine …

MICRORNAs AS PREDICTIVE AND THERAPEUTIC TOOLS IN PROSTATE CANCER AND BONE METASTASIS
Il carcinoma della prostata è una delle malattie più comuni ed è nell uomo, la principale causa di morte dovuta a patologie neoplastiche. Nonostante i significativi progressi nella diagnosi e nel trattamento dei tumori precoci, la validazione di nuovi biomarcatori, in grado di distinguere tra …

Novel cytokines in innate immunity: IL-27 and IL-30 enhance responsiveness to gram-negative bacterial components in human myeloid cells
… This thesis investigates two related cytokines, IL-27 and IL-30, to identify novel proinflammatory mechanisms to improve treatments for bacterial infections. IL-27 is comprised of IL-27p28 and EBI3 subunits; the IL-27p28 subunit, also named IL-30, can also signal independently of EBI3. To date, …

The Role of Platelets In Ovarian Carcinoma
… factors including thrombopoietin (TPO), IL-1a, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-11, G-CSF, GM-CSF, stem cell factor, and FLT-3 ligand were assayed in a subset of 150 patients at the time of initial diagnosis with advanced stage, high grade epithelial ovarian cancer using immunobead-based cytokine …

Expression and function of the αVβ5 integrin during human B lymphopoiesis
… cell lines. The pre-B cell lines SMS-SB, RS4;11 and 697 showed a significant proliferative response to αVβ5 stimulation by sCD23, a sCD23-derived long peptide and anti-αVβ5 MAb 15F11. Transitional and more mature B cell lines down-regulated αVβ5 expression and did not show a proliferative …

Color stability and phenolic composition from corn pericarp extracts in a beverage model and protective and anti-inflammatory potential of anthocyanin-rich plant extracts on celiac disease in vitro
… objective of phase I was to evaluate color stability of nine anthocyanin-rich color corn variety pericarp extracts and the objectives of phase II were to evaluate the potential of anthocyanin-rich plant extracts to protect human epithelial cells against a celiac toxic peptide (CTP) and to …

Recipients received Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy and maintenance immunosuppression. Despite transplantation across Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) mismatches, there were …
