Background. Optimization of the management patients with precancerous conditions stomach in comorbid pathology is an urgent task gastroenterology. The purpose study: to evaluate content pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, as well level vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at different degrees vascularization thyroid gland atrophic gastritis. Materials methods. A study was conducted 120 g...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a type of induced by M. (MP) infection. The present study investigated the effect long non‑coding RNA growth arrest‑specific 5 (GAS5) in MPP and underlying molecular mechanism this. expression GAS5, microRNA‑222‑3p, (miR‑222‑3p) tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases‑3 (TIMP3) was using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. Lipid‑associated m...

BACKGROUND Aptamers mimic properties of antibodies and sometimes turn out to be even better than antibodies as reagents for assays. We describe the establishment of an ultrasensitive densitometry method for cytokine detection by nanoparticle (NP)-modified aptamers. METHODS The assay simultaneously uses a gold NP-modified aptamer and a biotin-modified aptamer to bind to the target protein, for...

BACKGROUND Biomarker assays are often conducted on whole blood samples in the course of drug development studies. Because bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (endotoxin) contamination is known to cause spontaneous cytokine production by monocytes, contamination of blood collection tubes may interfere with biomarker assay results. METHODS Whole blood from healthy donors was collected into plast...

BACKGROUND In the search for valid biomarkers in inflammatory diseases, cytokine serum concentrations are often measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and correlated to disease activity. Interleukin-33 is a relatively newly described cytokine, which holds a promising potential as a biomarker for different diseases including atopic dermatitis. However, interfering human anti-animal IgG an...

Background: Differentiation, migratory properties and availability of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) have become an important part of biomedical research. However, the functional heterogeneity of cells derived from different tissues has hampered providing definitive phenotypic markers for these cells. Objective: To characterize and compare the phenotype and cytokines of adipose derived MSCs (...

Background:It has been hypothesized that genetic factors other than histocompatibility disparity may play a role in predisposition to developing Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). In this regard, Th1 and Th2 cytokines and their gene polymorphism seems to be important. Overall expression and secretion of cytokines is dependent, at least in part, on genetic polymorphism (nucleotide variations) w...

Background: Allergic diseases have increased during the past decade worldwide. Th2 type lymphocyte response is known to play an important role in the process of allergic inflammation. IL-4, a mediator of type II cytokine response increases IgE synthesis and Interferon gamma, a cytokine of type I response interferes with IL-4 and inhibits IgE production. Selenium is an essential component of glu...

Purpose: To detect the effect of Resolvin D1 (RvD1) on Developmental endothelial locus-1 (Del-1) and cytokine expressions human gingival fibroblast cells exposed to Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis-LPS).
 
 Material Methods: The RvD1 cell viability fibroblasts P. gingivalis-LPS were determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromi...
