Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 clusters during osteoclastogenesis.

A Comparative Study of Serum Level of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1(ICAM-1) and High Sensitive C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) in Normal and Pre-eclamptic Pregnancies

IL-1β favors osteoclastogenesis via the supporting fibroblasts

Periodontitis leads to unwanted bone loss as a response to inflammatory compounds such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β). This excessive bone loss reflects both an increased osteoclast activity and formation of these cells. In this study we investigated how a short pre-incubation of periodontal ligament fibroblasts with IL-1β affected osteoclastogenesis. Fibroblasts were pre-incubated with IL-1β and/or...

Honokiol potentiates apoptosis, suppresses osteoclastogenesis, and inhibits invasion through modulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation pathway.

Recent reports have indicated that honokiol can induce apoptosis, suppress tumor growth, and inhibit angiogenesis. In this report, we found that honokiol potentiated the apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and chemotherapeutic agents, suppressed TNF-induced tumor cell invasion, and inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, all of which are known to require nuclear factor-kappaB (...

In situ immunohistochemical analysis of cell adhesion molecules on human corneal endothelial cells.

Interaction of leucocytes with human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) can be observed in several clinicopathological conditions, such as uveitis, keratitis, and corneal graft rejection. Since leucocyte-endothelial cell interactions involve various adhesion receptors we have analysed the expression and distribution pattern of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), the intercellular adhesion ...

اثر یک دوره تمرین هوازی بر شاخص‌های عملکرد اندوتلیالی زنان یائسه مبتلا به پرفشار خونی

    Background & Aims : Aging and the loss of endogenous estrogen production after menopause are accompanied by increases in blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction. Exercise training improves endothelial function in patients with hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of aerobic training on some markers of endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women.   M...
