Conclusion: Over-expression of PIB5PA can inhibit the abilities of migration and invasion of human melanoma Mel-FH cells in vitro , which may be associated with inactivity of AKT and FAK, and down-regulation of the relative expression levels of MMP-2/TIMP-2 and MMP-9/TIMP-1.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:29:22 AEST ]]> The tetraspanin CD151’s role in the kidney and mapping of genetic modifiers of glomerular disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21095 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:42:34 AEST ]]> Differential proteolytic enzyme activity in eosinophilic and neutrophilic asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:594 99%) was inactivated (and bound to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1). In neutrophilic asthma, more subjects had NE activity (39%) compared with both healthy control subjects (0%), subjects with eosinophilic asthma (6%), or subjects with paucigranulocytic asthma (0%, p < 0.05). There were strong and consistent positive correlations between interleukin-8, neutrophils, and proteolytic enzymes. MMP-9 was inversely correlated with NE (r = -0.93). Conclusions: Proteolytic enzyme activity in asthma is dependent on the underlying inflammatory phenotype and is differentially regulated with MMP-9 activity a feature of eosinophilic inflammation, and active NE in neutrophilic inflammation.]]> Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:37 AEST ]]>
