Erythropoietin: friend and foe!
Our knowledge of the erythropoietin (Epo) molecule has come a long way since Carnot and Deflandre’s landmark observations, over a century ago, attributing the increase in red blood cells to a factor called ‘hemopoietin’. For decades, the scientific community thought that the role of Epo was limited to red blood cell production. However, since the mid 1990s, Epo has been shown to exert numerous ...
متن کاملUSP10: Friend and Foe
The tumor suppressor protein p53, a crucial player in the DNA damage response, is regulated in many ways, most notably through ubiquitination. In this issue, Yuan et al. (2010) identify the deubiquitinating protease USP10 as a new regulator of p53 in the DNA damage response and tumor development.
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase: friend and foe.
Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are highly specialized for their primary function, the phagocytosis and destruction of microorganisms. When coated with opsonins (generally complement and/or antibody), microorganisms bind to specific receptors on the surface of the phagocyte and invagination of the cell membrane occurs with the incorporation of the microorganism into an i...
متن کاملInflammation: Friend and Foe
Activation of inflammatory reactions by the immune system is of vital importance to the preservation of cellular and organ integrity in a hostile environment. It is a complex and fine-tunedmechanism. Insufficient response may cause immunodeficiency resulting in infection and cancer while overactivity may result in diseases like arthritis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, heart...
متن کاملAssociation of functional haem oxygenase-1 gene promoter polymorphism with polycystic kidney disease and IgA nephropathy.
BACKGROUND Haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a cytoprotective molecule that is reported to have a protective role in a variety of experimental models of renal injury. A functional dinucleotide repeat (GT)(n) polymorphism, within the HO-1 promoter, regulates HO-1 gene expression; a short number of repeats (S-allele <25) increases transcription. We report the first assessment of the role of this HO-1 ge...
