Interleukin-1β stimulates stromal-derived factor-1α expression in human subacromial bursa

Hypoxic stress simultaneously stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and inhibits stromal cell-derived factor-1 in human endometrial stromal cells.

BACKGROUND Hypoxia of the human endometrium is a physiologic event occurring during the perimenstrual period and the local stimulus for angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hypoxic stress on the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12), and the potential role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) ...

Stromal-derived factor 1 expression in the human thymus.

Stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), the only known ligand for the chemokine receptor CXCR4, is broadly expressed in cells of both the immune and central nervous systems, and it can induce the migration of resting leukocytes and hemopoietic progenitors. SDF-1 mRNA was previously detected in human thymus-derived stromal cells, but its role in thymopoiesis was unknown. Here we show that SDF-1 is exp...

MODULATION OF INTERLEUKIN-1Β (IL-1Β ), TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR–Α (TNF-Α) AND INTERLEUKIN-10 (IL-10 ) GENES EXPRESSION FOLLOWING CONCURRENT TRAINING IN WOMEN WITH TYPE2 DIABETES

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training on pre-inflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines gene expression in women with type2 diabetes. Methods: 18-patients (age30-38, >130 glycemic index) were selected, randomly, and divided into control (n=6) the concurrent training(diabetes, n=6) and the concurrent training (healthy...

Synovial Osteochondromatosis of Subacromial Bursa

Imaging Findings: MR and US examinations (Figs. 1–4) revealed no signs of rotator cuff tendons or biceps tendon injuries. On MR sequences and on US images we can observe a massive distention of the subacromial bursa, filled with synovial effusion and with multiple loose bodies; such nodules present various signal intensity characteristics at MR examination and result movable at US evaluation. T...
