Therapeutic potential of plasma gelsolin administration in a rat model of sepsis.
BACKGROUND Gelsolin is an actin-binding protein found in the cytoplasm and in extracellular fluids including blood plasma. Plasma gelsolin concentration decreases after a wide range of injuries. We hypothesized that the repletion of gelsolin would limit inflammation and tissue injury in a rat model of sepsis using cecal ligation and double puncture (2CLP). METHODS Human plasma gelsolin (pGSN,...
متن کاملCathepsin S: therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic potential.
Cathepsin S is a member of the cysteine cathepsin protease family. It is a lysosomal protease which can promote degradation of damaged or unwanted proteins in the endo-lysosomal pathway. Additionally, it has more specific roles such as MHC class II antigen presentation, where it is important in the degradation of the invariant chain. Unsurprisingly, mis-regulation has implicated cathepsin S in ...
متن کاملPotential Value of miR-221/222 as Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Biomarkers for Diseases
microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by base pairing with their target messenger RNAs. Dysregulation of miRNAs is involved in the pathological initiation and progression of many human diseases. miR-221 and miR-222 (miR-221/222) are two highly homologous miRNAs, and they are significantly overexpressed in several types of human diseases. Silencing miR-221/22...
متن کاملPrognostic value and therapeutic potential of TREM-1 in Streptococcus pyogenes- induced sepsis.
TREM-1 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells) is a surface molecule expressed on neutrophils and macrophages which has been implicated in the amplification of inflammatory responses triggered during infection. In the present study, we have investigated the clinical significance of TREM-1 in Streptococcus pyogenes-induced severe sepsis in both experimentally infected mice as well as in...
متن کاملCirculating miR-199a-3p in plasma and its potential diagnostic and prognostic value in glioma.
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to examine the possibility of using plasma miR-199a-3p as a biomarker for glioma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Plasma miR-199a-3p expression glioma patients and normal healthy controls were quantified by Quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Then, the associations of serum miR-199a-3p level with clinicopathological factors or survival of glioma patients were furthe...
