Roles of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in human cancer
Cancer remains one of the major cause of death in the Western world. Although, it has been demonstrated that new therapies can improve the outcome of cancer patients, still many patients relapse after treatment. Therefore, there is a need to identify novel factors involved in cancer development and/or progression. Recently, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been suggested as...
متن کاملExtracorporeal circulation causes release of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL).
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) used during cardiac surgery causes activation of several inflammatory systems. These events are not fully understood but are responsible for complications during the immediate postoperative period. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a member of the expanding lipocalin family, has recently been described as an inflammatory protein. In this study, ...
متن کاملClinical significance of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.
Growing evidence has implicated that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) plays a role in a spectrum of human cancers. Several observational studies from different parts of the world have been devoted to elucidate the clinical relationship between NGAL and colorectal cancer. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the overall accuracy of NGAL detection for the diagnosis and prognosis o...
متن کاملExpression, purification, crystallization and crystallographic characterization of dimeric and monomeric human neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL).
Crystals of the monomeric and dimeric forms of human neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin have been grown in hanging-drop vapor-diffusion trials using PEG as a precipitating agent with recombinant protein expressed in a baculovirus-based system. Crystals of monomeric NGAL belong to the cubic space group P432 with lattice constants a = b = c = 126.6 A; crystals of dimeric NGAL belong to th...
متن کاملNeutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) in early detection of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic Iraqi patients
Background: Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus type2. The neutrophil gelatinase Associated lippocallin (NGAL) is an ubiquitous protein consist of 178 amino acid. NGAL can be identified in plasma and urine starting 24 hours after a kidney injury resulting changes in glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption and with increased secretion in tubular epithelial c...
