Transforming Growth Factor-β Expression as Biomarker of Atheroma Development: A Mini Review
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arterial wall that is modulated by the inflammatory balance. Transforming growth factor [TGF] type β1, β2, and β3 are cytokines with broad activities on cells and tissues in the cardiovascular system and have been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This cytokine is a major orchestrator of the fibroproliferative response to tissue ...
متن کاملAdipophilin Expression in Atheroma Development: A Mini-Review
The expression of adipophilin [ADFP] seems to be elevated in atherosclerotic lesions compared with healthy arterial intima, it may play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, notably in the transformation of macrophages into foam cells. It was proposed that adipophilin may play a key role in the lipid metabolism of foam cells and hence ultimately contributes to the formation of a lipid ...
متن کاملMini-Review suPAR as a prognostic biomarker in sepsis
130) Sepsis is the leading cause of death in critically ill patients. Several biomarkers have been tested for use in diagnosis and prognostication in patients with sepsis. Soluble urokinasetype plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels are increased in various infectious diseases, in the blood and also in other tissues. However, its diagnostic value in sepsis has not been well defined, espe...
متن کاملA Mini-Review on Iron Chelating Agents as a Promising Therapeutic Target in Treatment of Leishmaniasis
There is a high prevalence of infections caused by Leishmania parasites and increasing rate of drug resistance. Lack of successful treatment with existing drugs calls for new therapeutic approaches. The main strategy in treatment of leishmaniasis is creating apoptosis and eliminating different forms of the parasite. So far, numerous drugs with specific mechanisms including 14-α-demethylase enzy...
متن کاملEvaluating Gamma-H2AX Expression as a Biomarker of DNA Damage after X-ray in Angiography Patients
Objective: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common diseases. Coronary angiography (CAG) is an important apparatus used to diagnose and treat this disease. Since angiography is performed through exposure to ionizing radiation, it can cause harmful effects induced by double-stranded breaks in DNA which is potentially life-threatening damage. The aim of the present study is to inves...
