Cutting Edge: Human Eosinophils Regulate T Cell Subset Selection through Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase1
Allergy involves eosinophilia and Th2 polarization. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-catalyzed conversion of tryptophan to kynurenines (KYN) regulates T cell function. We show that human eosinophils… Expand

Histological microstructure of the claws of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis (Anura: Pipidae): implications for the evolution of claws in tetrapods.
Claws are consistent components of amniote anatomy and may thus be implicated in the success of the amniote invasion of land. However, the evolutionary origin of these structures in tetrapods is… Expand

Divergence of Mechanisms Regulating Respiratory Burst in Blood and Sputum Eosinophils and Neutrophils from Atopic Subjects1
Eosinophil respiratory burst is an important event in asthma and related inflammatory disorders. However, little is known concerning activation of the respiratory burst NADPH oxidase in human… Expand

Inhibition of Allergic Inflammation in the Airways Using Aerosolized Antisense to Syk Kinase1
Activation of the protein tyrosine kinase Syk is an early event that follows cross-linking of FcγR and FcεR, leading to the release of biologically active molecules in inflammation. We reported… Expand

NMR analysis of neutrophil activation in sputum samples from patients with cystic fibrosis
Disorders of the respiratory system, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), involve the infiltration and activation of airway inflammatory cells, including neutrophils. This leads to the secretion of… Expand

Inhibition of apoptosis after ischemia-reperfusion in rat myocardium by cycloheximide.
Macromolecular synthesis inhibitors protect cells from apoptosis in many systems. To determine whether the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) might inhibit apoptosis and protect the… Expand

Differential expression of spleen tyrosine kinase Syk isoforms in tissues: effects of the microbial flora
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is expressed widely in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. The widespread distribution of Syk and its involvement in host defense and allergic reactions, prompted… Expand

Postischemic apoptosis and functional recovery after angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade in isolated working rat hearts
Objective To determine whether chronic angiotensin (AngII) type I receptor (AT1R) blockade inhibits cardiomyocyte (CM) apoptosis and attenuates left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after… Expand

Protective effect of vanadate on oxyradical-induced changes in isolated perfused heart
In order to examine the mechanisms of the beneficial effects of vanadate on cardiac dysfunction in chronic diabetes, rat hearts were perfused with xanthine plus xanthine oxidase, an oxyradical… Expand

Increased AT2R protein expression but not increased apoptosis during cardioprotection induced by AT1R blockade.
BACKGROUND The angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) is considered to be antigrowth and to mediate apoptosis in several cell types. Whether AT2R upregulation, associated with angiotensin II type 1… Expand
