Pro-inflammatory cytokines enhance ERAD and ATF6α pathway activity in salivary glands of Sjögren's syndrome patients
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Salivary gland (SG) acinar-cells are susceptible to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress related to their secretory activity and the complexity of synthesized secretory products. SGs of Sjögren's syndrome patients (SS)-patients ...
Sjogren's syndrome and the epithelial target: A comprehensive review
(CIENCIAS, 2013)
The most difficult component in our understanding of human autoimmunity remains a rigorous dissection of etiological events. Indeed, the vast literature on autoimmune diseases focuses on the inflammatory response, with the ...
IgE serum concentration against airborne fungi in children with respiratory allergies
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Background: To evaluate total and specific E immunoglobulin (IgE) antibody concentrations in underage subjects with respiratory allergic diseases. Methods: This study was a transversal-type study in 100 underage subjects ...
Oral dryness in Sjogren's syndrome patients: Not just a question of water
(CIENCIAS, 2013)
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of undefined etiology. Patients with this syndrome suffer from severe alterations in both the quality and quantity of saliva and tears, due to impaired function of ...
Influence of lipopolysaccharide outer-core in the intrinsic resistance to antimicrobial peptides and virulence in Edwardsiella ictaluri
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
The genus Edwardsiella consists of bacteria with an intrinsic resistance to cyclic cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Edwardsiella ictaluri, a pathogen of the catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and the causative agent of ...
Gene expression and chromosomal location for susceptibility to Sjogren's syndrome
(CIENCIAS, 2009)
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting mainly the exocrine glands. Its physio-pathology is poorly understood and most of the knowledge has been related to the inflammatory ...
Mechanotransduction and epigenetic control in autoimmune diseases
(CIENCIAS, 2011)
Differentiation of epithelial cells is required to define tissue architecture and appropriate function of these cells is associated with a specific pattern of gene expression. DNA methylation, post-translational modification ...
Inflammatory Effects of Edwardsiella ictaluri Lipopolysaccharide Modifications in Catfish Gut
(CIENCIAS, 2014)
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are structural components of the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria and also are potent inducers of inflammation in mammals. Higher vertebrates are extremely sensitive to LPS but ...
Respiratory allergy to airborne fungi in Sao Luis - MA: clinical aspects and levels of IgE in a structured asthma program
(CIENCIAS, 2014)
Introduction: Respiratory allergies are becoming increasingly frequent, especially based on studies of asthma and rhinitis. It is estimated that 20–30% of the world’s population is affected. Allergic reactions are caused ...
