Connexin 37 and Connexin 43 genotypes in correlation to cytokines in induced sputum and blood in cystic fibrosis (CF)
Aims We have provided evidence in former studies that cytokines (IL-8, TNF alpha, LBP, TGFß) measured in blood correlate negatively with lung function in deltaF508 homozygous patients. GAP junction proteins might be of importance for the influx of blood cells into the lung. Our aim was to assess the relationship between connexin genotypes and cytokines (IL-8, TNF-alpha, LBP, TGFß) in induced sp...
متن کاملFluoxetin Upregulates Connexin 43 Expression in Astrocyte
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that astrocytes play major roles in normal and disease condition of the central nervous system including multiple sclerosis (MS). Molecular target therapy studies in MS have revealed that connexin-43 (Cx43) and Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) contents of astrocytes undergo expression alteration. Fluoxetine had some effects in MS patients unrelated to its known antidep...
متن کاملConnections in chronic kidney disease: connexin 43 and connexin 37 interaction.
THE PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC kidney disease is rising sharply worldwide and affects 13.1% of the population in the US (3). Patients with chronic kidney disease represent a population not only at risk of progression to end-organ failure but also at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases (22). Although inflammation is beneficial for host wound healing and defense toward infection, excessive or alte...
متن کاملFibrosis, Connexin-43, and Conduction Abnormalities in the Brugada Syndrome
BACKGROUND The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is acknowledged to be responsible for arrhythmogenesis in Brugada syndrome (BrS), but the pathophysiology remains controversial. OBJECTIVES This study assessed the substrate underlying BrS at post-mortem and in vivo, and the role for open thoracotomy ablation. METHODS Six whole hearts from male post-mortem cases of unexplained sudden dea...
متن کاملA journey in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity with emphasizing on the role of Connexin 43 and Sirtuin-3
Cancer has become a major health problem worldwide. The reported incidence of new cancer cases is estimated at 19.3 million, with a mortality rate of 10 million in the world in 2020. There are some approaches for cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, neoadjuant surgery, hormone therapy, and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is an aggressive form of chemical drug therapy meant to destroy rapidly growi...
