Utilization of two seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptors, formyl peptide receptor-like 1 and formyl peptide receptor, by the synthetic hexapeptide WKYMVm for human phagocyte activation.
Trp-Lys-Tyr-Val-D-Met (WKYMVm) is a synthetic leukocyte-activating peptide postulated to use seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptor(s). In the study to characterize the receptor(s) for… Expand

Transforming growth factor-β1 hyperexpression in African-American hypertensives: A novel mediator of hypertension and/or target organ damage
Hypertension, a remediable risk factor for stroke, cardiovascular disease, and renal failure, affects 50 million individuals in the United States alone. African Americans (blacks) have a higher… Expand

Messenger RNA for FOXP3 in the urine of renal-allograft recipients.
BACKGROUND The outcome of renal transplantation after an episode of acute rejection is difficult to predict, even with an allograft biopsy. METHODS We studied urine specimens from 36 subjects with… Expand

Molecular executors of cell death--differential intrarenal expression of Fas ligand, Fas, granzyme B, and perforin during acute and/or chronic rejection of human renal allografts.
Two distinct cytolytic pathways have been characterized: one in which the interaction between the Fas antigen and its ligand results in apoptosis, and another in which the pore forming protein… Expand

Noninvasive diagnosis of BK virus nephritis by measurement of messenger RNA for BK virus VP1 in urine1
Background. Polyoma virus type BK (BKV) nephritis has emerged as an important cause of renal allograft dysfunction and graft failure. Its diagnosis is contingent on the invasive procedure of… Expand

Noninvasive detection of renal allograft inflammation by measurements of mRNA for IP-10 and CXCR3 in urine.
BACKGROUND We explored the hypothesis that measurements of mRNA encoding interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) or the chemokine receptor CXCR3 in urinary cells offer a noninvasive means of… Expand

In vivo expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 in humans: stimulation by cyclosporine.
BACKGROUND Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is an immunoregulatory and fibrogenic cytokine. In an earlier in vitro study, we demonstrated that cyclosporine (CsA) increases TGF-beta1… Expand

A new insight into the role of "old" chemotactic peptide receptors FPR and FPRL1: down-regulation of chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4.
N-formyl peptides, such as fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP), are some of the first identified and most potent chemoattractants for phagocytic leukocytes. In addition to the bacterial peptide fMLP and the putative… Expand

TGF-β1 DNA Polymorphisms, Protein Levels, and Blood Pressure
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), a multifunctional cytokine with fibrogenic properties, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the vascular and target organ complications of… Expand
