Identification of new human mesenchymal stem cell biomarker by aptamers

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can be distinguished from others by their ability to self-renew and to differentiate into new specific cell types. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are adult stem cells that can be obtained from different sources, such as adipose tissue, bone marrow, dental pulp, an...

Influência da Delfinidina como potencial modulador da capacidade imunorregulatória das Células-Tronco Mesenquimais

As Células-Tronco Mesenquimais (CTMs), são células multipotentes, presentes em diversos tecidos, sendo bastante estudada devido sua capacidade imunorregulatória por meio da liberação de fatores solúveis. Fatores estes que atuam sobre as funções de células do sistema imunitário. Simultaneamente...

Histological investigation of experimentally induced diabetes effects on the distribution of transforming growth factor (TGF beta), nuclear factor kappa b (Nf-KB), heat schock 90 beta (Hsp beta) and E-cadherin proteins in testicular tissue

Int. j. morphol; 39 (1), 2021
SUMMARY: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels and it causes complications in many systems, including the reproductive system. As a result of diabetic conditions, one of the mechanisms that can cause repression of reproductive activity is testicular oxidant stress. The...

Comparison of Transforming Growth Factor 1 (TGF-β 1) Expression in Various Lysate Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) Concentrations on Human Dental Pulp Stem Cell Differentiation

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression in various L-PRF concentrations on the hDPSC differentiation process. Material and Methods: hDPSC cell cultures were subjected to serum starvation by reducing FBS levels in the hDPSC culture media. Lysate PRF was...

Papel da MMP-9 e do TGF-β na expressão de componentes da Matriz Extracelular por fibroblastos gengivais de camundongos normais e diabéticos com doença periodontal in vitro

Na presença de Diabetes Mellitus, a doença periodontal (DP) pode acentuar o aparecimento de complicações e aumentar sua prevalência. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar se o Fator de Crescimento Transformador -β do tipo 1 (TGFβ1, sigla em inglês) e Metaloproteinase de matriz -9 (MMP-9, sigla em...

Expresión de TGF-p como indicio temprano de lesión del tejido hepático en la enfermedad de hígado graso no alcohólico

Acta méd. colomb; 43 (3), 2018
Resumen Introducción: la enfermedad de hígado graso no alcohólico (NAFLD) constituye un problema de salud pública asociado con el síndrome metabólico; su patogénesis implica el inicio de una cascada de señalización bioquímica compleja y su estimulación continua podría consolidar un proceso d...

Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase, transforming growth factor-β1 and lymphotoxin-α genes polymorphisms and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis

Rev. bras. reumatol; 56 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a widely prevalent autoimmune disorder with suggested genetic predisposition. Objectives: The aim of this study is to detect the pattern of genetic polymorphism of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677 T and A1298 C), transforming growth factor-&#...

Effects of budlein A on human neutrophils and lymphocytes

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) are the active constituents of a variety of medicinal plants used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and other ailments. Objective In this study, we evaluated whether budlein A modulates the activation of innate and adaptive immune c...

Correlation of IL-6 and IL-10 production following bone marrow transplantation with donor cytokine gene polymorphisms

Several candidate gene studies have demonstrated that genetic polymorphisms in cytokine genes contribute to variations in the levels of cytokines produced and this variation may influence the occurrence and severity of complications after stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In this work we compared the ser...
