The Association Between Circulating Klotho and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Activity and Inflammatory Cytokines in Elderly Patients With Alzheimer Disease
Introduction: Klotho and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) are two proteins that modulate inflammatory pathways. We investigated the association between circulating klotho and DPP4 activity and their relationship with inflammatory cytokines, miR-29a, and miR-195 in Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: This study was conducted on 16 AD patients and 16 healthy age-matched controls. Plasma levels of tumo...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of molecular forms of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV and fibroblast activation protein in human glioblastomas.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Proteolytic enzymes contribute to the progression of various cancers. We previously reported increased expression of the proline specific peptidases dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and its closest paralogue fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in human glioblastomas. Here we analyze the molecular heterogeneity of DPP-IV and FAP in glioblastomas. METHODS ELISA, isoelectric ...
متن کاملActivities of dipeptidyl peptidase II and dipeptidyl peptidase IV in synovial fluid from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
We examined the activities of peptidases in synovial fluid from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) activity was lower in synovial fluid from patients with RA, in contrast to the increase of DPP II activity in synovial fluid, as compared with OA. The DPP II/DPP IV ratio for synovial fluid was significantly higher in patients with RA ...
متن کاملDipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor
In the United States, nearly 13% of adults aged 20 years and older have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and its prevalence is still increasing (1,2). Microvascular and macrovascular abnormalities are common in patients with T2DM and are related to the severity and duration of hyperglycemia (3–5). Thus, treatment of hyperglycemia is an important way to prevent or delay diabetic vascular complic...
