PW03-023 – Role of S100A4 in inflammatory disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Tight association of the pro-inflammatory events with the pathogenesis of a majority of serious human diseases (neoplasia, neurodegenetarions, cardiovascular and others) in addition to inflammatory and autoinflammatory diseases is firmly documented. S100A4 is a metastasis-promoting gene whose expression has been found implicated in chronic inflammation. Earlier we have shown an immense upregulation of S100A4 in affected tissues and plasma of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, dermato/polymyositis 1 , as well as in pro-inflammarory pathways in tumor metastasis . However, its role in inflammation remains unclear.

Functional profile of S100A4‐deficient T cells
The protein S100A4 is best known for its significant role in promoting motility and invasive capacity of cancer cells. Since S100A4 expression has been reported also in T cells, we analyzed its potential role in T cell motility and inflammation. Using S100a4(+/Gfp) mice, we show here that S100A4 is exclusively expressed by memory T cells of CD4(+) or CD8(+) subpopulations, predominantly of the ...
متن کاملPW03-036 – Neutrophilic urticaria with systemic inflammation
Introduction Predominantly neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrates are seen in a subset of chronic urticaria patients, with lesions that tend to be less itchy and poorly responsive to antihistamine therapy.[1,2] There have been reports of patients with neutrophilic dermatoses presenting with extracutaneous inflammation.[3] We present two patients with neutrophilic urticaria and extracutaneous sym...

AIMS This study investigated whether S100A4 plays a potential role in the formation of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). METHODS AND RESULTS The thoracic aortas of male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 0.5 M CaCl2 or normal saline (NaCl). Animals were euthanized at specified time-points (2, 4, and 10 weeks post-TAA induction). The treated aortic segments were harvested, and mRNA levels, prot...
متن کاملS100A4 deficiency is associated with efficient bacterial clearance and protects against joint destruction during Staphylococcal infection.
BACKGROUND Efficient host defense mechanisms are crucial for survival in sepsis and septic arthritis. S100 proteins are reported to have proinflammatory and bactericidal properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of S100A4 in staphylococcal arthritis. METHODS S100A4 knockout mice (S100A4KO) and wild-type counterparts (WT) were intravenously and intra-articularly challenged ...
متن کاملCommon Interactions between S100A4 and S100A9 Defined by a Novel Chemical Probe
S100A4 and S100A9 proteins have been described as playing roles in the control of tumor growth and metastasis. We show here that a chemical probe, oxyclozanide (OX), selected for inhibiting the interaction between S100A9 and the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) interacts with both S100A9 and S100A4. Furthermore, we show that S100A9 and S100A4 interact with RAGE and TLR4; inte...
