Identification of β2-microglobulin as a urinary biomarker for chronic allograft nephropathy using proteomic methods.
PURPOSE Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) remains the leading cause of renal graft loss after the first year following renal transplantation. This study aimed to identify novel urinary proteomic profiles, which could distinguish and predict CAN in susceptible individuals. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The study included 34 renal transplant patients with histologically proven CAN and 36 patients with ...
متن کاملlower extremity arterial calcification as a predictor of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with peripheral arterial disease
conclusion peripheral arterial calcification is significantly correlated with cad extent in patients with pad. peripheral arterial calcification can be a useful marker for predicting multivessel-cad. results lecs in multivessel-cad were significantly higher than those in nonsignificant cad (10.0 ± 5.8 versus 4.0 ± 3.1, p < 0.001). lecs significantly correlated with ccs (r = 0.831, p < 0.001) an...
متن کاملPrevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic Patients
Objective: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a state characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremities. Diabetes is the main risk factor for PAD. Material and Methods: To assess the prevalence of PAD, a cross sectional study was performed on 352 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd diabetes research center from 2007 to 2010. Vascular assessment was done by measuring ...
متن کاملRole of microRNA as a biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease
Introduction: MicroRNAs are small, non-coding, and protected RNA molecules that regulate gene expression after transcription by mRNA degradation or inhibition of protein synthesis. The function of these molecules is critical to many cellular processes, including growth, development, differentiation, homeostasis, apoptosis, aging, stress resistance. In addition, some diseases including cancer, a...
متن کاملβ2-Microglobulin-mediated Signaling as a Target for Cancer Therapy
β2-microglobulin (β2-m) has become the focus of intense scrutiny since the discovery of its undesirable roles promoting osteomimicry and cancer progression. β2-m is a well-known housekeeping protein that forms complexes with the heavy chain of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules, which are heterodimeric cell surface proteins that present antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T cells. O...
