Correlation between Serum Levels of Calprotectin with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background and Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease defined by chronic synovitis and progressive joint destruction. This study investigated calprotectin as a serological marker in the hope of establishing an adequate means of diagnosing RA and following up on patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 32 RA patients who were referred to the rh...
متن کاملIncreased proteasome activator 28 gamma (PA28γ) levels are unspecific but correlate with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND PA28γ (also known as Ki, REG gamma, PMSE3), a member of the ubiquitin-and ATP-independent proteasome activator family 11S, has been proved to show proteasome-dependent and -independent effects on several proteins including tumor suppressor p53, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 and steroid receptor co-activator 3 (SCR-3). Interestingly, PA28γ is overexpressed in pathological tiss...

متن کاملElevated prolactin levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: association with disease activity and structural damage.
OBJECTIVES Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone with cytokine-like activities that has been demonstrated to be involved in immune responses. However, there are inconsistent results related to the role of PRL in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of PRL in serum and synovial fluid in patients with RA and osteoarthritis (OA) and examine whether PRL migh...
