[ 1 ] - Gene Expression of CD226 and Its Serum Levels in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Recent studies have found some genetic variants as a risk factor for autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Cluster of Differentiation 226 (CD226) is one of the risk factors for MS. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the gene expression of CD226, and its protein serum level in peripheral blood samples of MS patients and healthy individuals. Materials & ...
[ 2 ] - Producing Soluble Human Programmed Cell Death Protein-1: A Natural supporter for CD4+T cell Cytotoxicity and Tumor Cells Apoptosis
Background: Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway is one of the immune checkpoint pathways involved in regulation of the immune responses and suppression of anti-tumor defense. PD-1/B7-H1-blocking antibodies improve immune responses such as cytotoxic activity of CD8+/CD4+T cells and also increase mortality of tumor cells; however their use is accompanied by adverse effects in pat...
[ 3 ] - Impact of Metformin and Pioglitazone on Serum Level of Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Lipid Profiles during Implantation Window in Diabetic Rats
Objective Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the serum lipid profile and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-ɑ) level in diabetic rats at the time of implantation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could affect various systems, including innate immune system and causes chronic low-grade inflammation which increases the level of TNF-ɑ. Furthermore, T2DM is often accompanied by imp...
