CCR2, MCP-1, SDF-1a & DC-SIGN gene polymorphisms in HIV-1 infected patients with & without tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Variability in the clinical outcome of persons exposed to and infected with HIV-1 and tuberculosis (TB) is determined by multiple factors including host genetic variations. The aim of the present study was to find out whether chemokine, chemokine receptor and DC-SIGN gene polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility or resistance to HIV and HIV-TB in south India. ...
متن کاملAssociation of Melatonin Receptor 1A Gene Polymorphisms with Production and Reproduction Traits in Zandi Sheep
Melatonin regulates some major physiological processes such as maturation and function of reproductive system, pubertal development, seasonal reproduction and adaptation. The activation of melatonin hormone is mediated by melatonin receptor. Previous studies showed melatonin receptor 1A gene (MTNR1A) is highly polymorphic in seasonally breeding species. The aim of the present study was detectio...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphisms in Japanese patients with sarcoidosis.
OBJECTIVES Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes angiogenesis, mediates vascular permeability, and activates and recruits monocytes. VEGF is produced in activated alveolar macrophages, in epithelioid cells, and in multinuclear giant cells of pulmonary sarcoid granulomas. Recent reports have shown that a polymorphism at - 627 of the VEGF gene is related to VEGF protein production, a...
متن کاملMCP-1 gene polymorphisms in North Chinese patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. Several studies have suggested that genetic factors may affect the susceptibility to PTB, but the specific genes involved have not been fully characterized. The gene for monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) has been linked to an increased risk of tuberculosis in some Mexican and Korean population...
متن کاملmcp-1, ccr2 and ccr5 polymorphisms in tunisian patients with atopic asthma.
chemokines and their receptors play an important role in the late inflammatory stage of asthma. in this study, we aimed to investigate polymorphisms of mcp-1 (ccl2), ccr2 and ccr5 which can affect qualitatively and/or quantitatively their production and thus influence both susceptibility and severity of asthma and its clinical and biological features. mcp-1 (a/g -2518), ccr2 (+/64i), ...
