Aims/hypothesis
Inspired by recent speculation about the potential utility of α2A-antagonism in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the study examined the contribution of α2-antagonism vs other mechanisms to the antihyperglycaemic activity of the imidazoline (±)-efaroxan. 相似文献2.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of cPLA2α in non-small lung cancer cell lines and tissues, and we sought to determine the in vitro effects of the pyrrolidine-2 inhibitor on cPLA2α sensitivity in three different non-small lung cancer cell lines. 相似文献3.

Purpose
There are no biological markers available to predict outcome in melanoma patients treated with adjuvant interferon-alpha (IFN-α). The clinical activity of IFN-α is thought to be mediated not only by anti-proliferative effects, but also by induction and modulation of secondary cytokines. We examined serum cytokine levels in IFN-α-treated patients to find potential biological markers for response or toxicity. 相似文献4.

Purpose
The objective of this study is to establish the clinical utility of serum soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2Rα) and B2-Microglobulin (B2-M) as markers for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring in childhood soft tissue sarcomas (STS). 相似文献5.
Aims/hypothesis
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a longevity-associated protein, which regulates energy metabolism and lifespan in response to nutrient deprivation. It has been proposed to be a therapeutic target for obesity and metabolic syndrome. We investigated whether α-lipoic acid (ALA) exerts a lipid-lowering effect through regulation of SIRT1 activation and production in C2C12 myotubes. 相似文献6.

Background
Pulmonary tuberculosis, the most common clinical form of mycobacterial diseases, is a granulomatous disease of the lungs caused by Mycobaterium tuberculosis. A number of genes have been identified in studies of diverse origins to be important in tuberculosis. Of these, both tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and lymphotoxin α (LT-α) play important immunoregulatory roles. 相似文献7.

Purpose
There is a lack of study concerning expression of Topoisomerase IIα (Topo IIα) and long-term results in colorectal cancer patients. We aimed to investigate the relationship between expression of Topo IIα and clinicopathological parameters including overall survival in colorectal cancer. 相似文献8.

Aims/hypothesis
Activation of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)40 by long-chain fatty acids potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic beta cells, and GPR40 agonists are in clinical development for type 2 diabetes therapy. GPR40 couples to the G protein subunit Gαq/11 but the signalling cascade activated downstream is unknown. This study aimed to determine the mechanisms of GPR40-dependent potentiation of GSIS by fatty acids. 相似文献9.

Aims/hypothesis
TNF-α plays important roles in the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In light of this, we examined the involvement of a pro-apoptotic gene, BBC3 (also known as PUMA), in TNF-α-mediated beta cell dysfunction and destruction in human islets. 相似文献10.

Background and aims Integrins such as α2β1, αIIbβ3, and αvβ3 have been suggested as key players for cancer development and progression. Several polymorphisms affecting these molecules,
two in integrin α2 (ITGA2 807C>T and 1648G>A) and one in β3 (ITGB3 176T>C), influence their levels, structure, and possibly their function. To analyze the role of ITGA2 and ITGB3 polymorphisms
for colorectal cancer risk and clinical presentation, we performed a case–control study.
Materials and methods Four hundred thirty-three colorectal cancer patients and 433 healthy sex- and age-matched control subjects were investigated.
ITGA2 and ITGB3 polymorphisms were determined by 5′-nuclease assays.
Results/findings The ITGA2 807C>T polymorphism was associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk. In a codominant model, the odds ratio for
each additional 807-T allele for colorectal cancer was 0.77 (95% confidence interval 0.64–0.94; p = 0.011). The ITGA2 1648G> and the ITGB3 176T>C polymorphism were not associated with colorectal cancer. None of the three
polymorphisms investigated was associated with tumor size, histological grade, presence of primary lymph node metastases,
tumor stage, or age at diagnosis.
Interpretation/conclusion We conclude that the ITGA2 807C>T polymorphism may be associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk.

Aims/hypothesis
The aim of this study was to examine the association between HbA1c variability and the development of microalbuminuria as defined by an albumin/creatinine ratio ≥3.4 mg/mmol (≥30 mg/g) in at least two of three consecutive urine samples in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献12.
Background
Circulating levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin-α (LT-α) have been associated with outcome in solid and hematologic malignancies. Within the TNF gene and the LT-α gene, polymorphisms have been identified at nucleotide positions -308 and +252, respectively. The variant alleles for TNF are designated TNF1 and TNF2, the ones for LT-α LT-α (10.5 kb) and LT-α (5.5 kb). Of interest, TNF2 and LT-α (5.5 kb) were shown to be associated with higher TNF and LT-α plasma levels than their counterparts. In the present study, we investigated the associations of the above mentioned polymorphisms with risk of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated according to Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) protocols. 相似文献13.

Purpose
Tumor necrosis factor-α inducing protein (Tipα) is a unique carcinogenic factor released from Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Tipα specifically binds to cells and is incorporated into cytosol and nucleus, where it strongly induces expression of TNF-α and chemokine genes mediated through NF-κB activation, resulting in tumor development. To elucidate mechanism of action of Tipα, we studied a binding protein of Tipα in gastric epithelial cells. 相似文献14.

Purpose
Sodium oxybate (SXB) is approved for cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness in narcolepsy. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects ∼9–50% of narcoleptics. Effects of 2-week SXB administration on apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen saturation (SaO2), and sleep architecture were investigated in OSAS patients. 相似文献15.

Aims/hypothesis
Proinflammatory and proapoptotic cytokines such as TNF-α are upregulated in human obesity. We evaluated the association between ghrelin isoforms (acylated and desacyl ghrelin) and TNF-α in obesity and obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, as well as the potential role of ghrelin in the control of apoptosis and autophagy in human adipocytes. 相似文献16.

Background
Dengue is now a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the tropics. We conducted the first ex vivo study of dengue fever (DF) in African patients infected during the first Gabonese dengue virus 2 (DENV-2) outbreak in 2007, in order to investigate cytokine production, including the antiviral cytokine IFN-α, reported to be a potent inhibitor of DENV replication in vitro. 相似文献17.

Background
Promising clinical data and significant antigen-sparing have been demonstrated for a pandemic H5N1 influenza split-virion vaccine adjuvanted with AS03A, an α-tocopherol-containing oil-in-water emulsion-based Adjuvant System. Although studies using this formulation have been reported, there have been no data for Japanese populations. This study therefore aimed to assess the immunogenicity and tolerability of a prepandemic (H5N1) influenza vaccine adjuvanted with AS03A in Japanese adults. 相似文献19.
Purpose
Concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis is an extensively used animal model of T cell-mediated acute hepatitis. A variety of cytokines, including interleukin 4 (IL-4), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been shown to play important roles in Con A-induced liver injury. However, the role of IL-2, a critical cytokine in the development and function of T cells and a clinical therapeutics for virus infection and tumor, has not been carefully examined in this model. 相似文献20.
