Nuclear Factor B Dependency of Platelet-activating Factor-induced Angiogenesis
This study investigated the mechanisms of platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced angiogenesis in a mouse model of Matrigel implantation. PAF induced a doseand time-dependent angiogenic response. Inhibitors of nuclear factor (NF) B expression or action, including antisense oligonucleotides to the p65 subunit of NF B (p65 antisense) and antioxidants such as -tocopherol and N-acetyl-L-cysteine, ...
متن کاملExpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in Meningioma
Background: Meningioma is one of the most common tumors of the central nervous system. It was shown that meningioma had up-regulated expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) that involved in cell growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Objectives: The aim of the study was the assessment of serum MMP-2 and -9 levels in patients with different grades of meningioma. Materials & Me...
متن کاملGene Polymorphism of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 in Asthenozoospermic Male Subjects
Objective Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMPs) play important roles in the structural and functional properties of reproductive organs. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of C-1562T Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (rs3918242) gene polymorphism in fertile and infertile men. In addition, we aimed to determine the association between C-1562T MMP-9 and G-1575A MMP-2 gene polymorphisms. Mate...
متن کاملProstaglandins, Histamine and Platelet Activating Factor: Different Mediators in Dithranol-Induced Skin Damage
Dithranol is a potent agent in treating psoriasis but its adverse effects on intact skin have limited its usage. There are many proposed mediators for its adverse effects including prostaglandins, histamine, platelet activating factor and free radicals. In this study we examined the effect of different agents (diazepam, terfenadine, indomethacin and garlic extract) on dithranol-induced skin dam...
متن کاملMacrophage matrix metalloproteinase-9 regulates angiogenesis in ischemic muscle.
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from existing endothelial cell–lined vessels. It occurs during normal development, and in many pathological conditions including tumor growth, would healing, inflammation, ischemia, and atherosclerosis. The development of new vessels can occur by abluminal sprouting of endothelial cells to form new branches or by the longitudinal splitting of e...
