Bacterial infections are common in chronic liver disease, and may precipitate other complications, such as encephalopathy and hepatorenal syndrome. The physiologic functions of lipocalin-2 remain poorly understood. Our aim was to elucidate lipocalin-2 as a useful marker of bacterial infections in children with CLD. A total of 79 children were enrolled in the study; 29 CLD with bacterial infecti...
conclusions sepsis enhances the production of plasma ngal in critically ill neonates. thus plasma ngal can help clinicians diagnose sepsis in critically ill neonates during early phases. results the ngal levels were significantly higher in septic neonates compared with non-septic neonates (102.9 ± 69.9 ng/ml versus 29.2 ± 13.3 ng/ml, p value = 0.0001). an optimal cut off-point of 48 ng/ml for s...
To observe the changes of neutrophil gelatinase associated apolipoprotein (neutrophil lipocalin), lipoprotein phospholipase A2 and inflammatory cytokine hypersensitive C-reactive protein in patients with coronary heart disease to explore correlation between serum lipoproteinassociated A2, lipocalin, degree artery disease. 200 inpatients cardiovascular department our hospital were divided into g...
NGAL/lipocalin-2 is a siderophore-binding protein that is highly expressed in several cancers. It is suggested to confer a proliferative advantage to cancer cells. Its expression has been correlated with aggressiveness of breast cancer as determined both in patients and in mouse breast cancer models. This was recently confirmed in two mouse models of spontaneous breast cancer in wild-type and l...
objective(s): lupus nephritis (ln) is the main cause of mortality and disability in systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) patients. therefore, utilizing a reliable and non-invasive method for serial measurements of renal function seems to be necessary. the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of urinary lipocalin-2 as a biomarker of renal involvement in sle patients. materials and methods:...
BACKGROUND Lipocalin-2, a 25-kDa secreted glycoprotein, is a useful biomarker for early detection of various renal injuries. Because lipocalin-2 is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue and liver, we investigated its relevance to obesity-related pathologies. METHODS We used real-time PCR and in-house immunoassays to quantify the mRNA and serum concentrations of lipocalin-2 in C57BL/KsJ db/db...
OBJECTIVES Visfatin and lipocalin-2 are novel adipokines associated with insulin resistance (IR) and obesity-related metabolic disorders. We compared lipocalin-2 and visfatin concentrations between patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and control subjects and evaluated their association with cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS We examined serum visfatin, lipocalin-2 levels, and cardiov...
Lipocalin 2, an iron-siderophore-binding protein, converts embryonic kidney mesenchyme to epithelia. We found that lipocalin 2 could also convert 4T1-Ras-transformed mesenchymal tumor cells to an epithelial phenotype, increase E-cadherin expression, and suppress cell invasiveness in vitro and tumor growth and lung metastases in vivo. The Ras-MAPK pathway mediated the epithelial to mesenchymal t...
BACKGROUND Lipocalin 2 is a bacteriostatic protein that binds the siderophore enterobactin, an iron-chelating molecule produced by Escherichia coli (E. coli) that is required for bacterial growth. Infection of the lungs by E. coli is rare despite a frequent exposure to this commensal bacterium. Lipocalin 2 is an effector molecule of the innate immune system and could therefore play a role in hi...
