  • Primary cultured HTFs were incubated with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) alone or combined with nintedanib, and cell proliferation and migration were measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and the scratch wound assay, respectively. (molvis.org)
  • Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the major pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system that sense a wide range of "danger" signals or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) ( 6 - 8 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • Activation of the vascular innate immune system inducing recruitment of macrophages, monocytes and neutrophils to the alveoli. (racgp.org.au)
  • METHODS: Calpain-1 knockout (Capn1 EK684-/-) and C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with STZ to induce type 1 diabetes. (bvsalud.org)
  • Activation of the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 signaling pathway has been reported in numerous retinal degenerative diseases including AMD ( 16 ), glaucomatous retinopathy ( 19 ) and diabetic retinopathy ( 20 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
  • Extracellular factors that influence integrin activation are ligand binding, divalent cation concentration, chemokine signaling and mechanical stress. (thno.org)
  • The study was carried out in 6 normal, 44 benign prostatic hyperplastic and 39 cancerous human prostates. (biomedcentral.com)
  • VHL disease is characterized by retinal capillary hemangiomas (also called benign vascular hamartomas). (medscape.com)
  • Generally, people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 develop signs and symptoms on average of 5-6 days after infection. (jomes.org)
  • AMPK pathways are energy regulation pathways. (springer.com)
  • This effect appeared to be achieved via inhibition of the PERK/ATF4/CHOP signaling pathway and suppression of VEGF expression levels. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • Thus, PTP1B plays a central role in the regulation of ERS in the endothelium, and the endothelial protective effect of PTP1B inhibition appears likely due at least in part to reduction of endothelial ERS, notably by promoting PERK protective pathway. (crcm-marseille.fr)
  • Interestingly, the ability of cAMP elevation to inhibit IL-6 signalling was blocked by ERK inhibition. (gla.ac.uk)
  • Recent clinical trials and basic research have designed to investigate biomolecules available as prognostic factors ( 2 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
