  1. 21. Cervical ripening : an inflammatory process involving cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin

    Författare :Maria Sennström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cervical ripening; interleukin-8; interleukin-6; granulocyte colony stimulating factor; metalloproteinase- 1; -3 - and -8; foetal fibronectin;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to identify cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin in human cervical tissue and to investigate if changes are of importance for the final cervical ripening. The human cervical ripening is a prerequisite for a normal start and progress of labour. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Matrix metalloproteinases in natural killer cells. Expression of MMPs, IL-2 activation and killer cell interactions with Matrigel® and model tumours

    Författare :Per Albertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protease; matrix metalloproteinase; killer cell; IL-2; Matrigel; B16 melanoma; tumour infiltration; invasion assay; zymography; Western blot; RT-PCR; light microscopy; fluorescence; electron microscopy;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: IL-2 activated natural killer (A-NK) cells can recognize malignant cells and exert tumouricidal activities by multiple mechanisms that require close contact with the target cells. Upon adoptive transfer, some A-NK cells accumulate in tumours by migrating from the vascular bed to a position inside the malignant tissue, forming close contacts with target cells. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Matrix degrading proteases in the ovary : expression and function

    Författare :Patrik Wahlberg; Tor Ny; Ilpo Huhtaniemi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; ovary; ovulation; corpus luteum; plasminogen; PA; MMP; rat; mouse; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Extracellular matrix degrading proteases from the plasminogen (plg) activator (PA) and the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) systems have been implicated as important mediators of ovulation and corpus luteum (CL) formation and regression. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the expression and regulation of PAs and MMPs in the ovary and to examine their functional roles for CL formation and function. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Immune regulation in multiple sclerosis : cytokines and metalloproteinases

    Författare :Volkan Özenci; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Immunological mechanisms play a central role in the pathogenesis sclerosis (MS). In this study two groups of related immune variables are cytokines and metalloproteinases (MMPs), which regulate each other's production and activation. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Inflammatory response in periodontal tissue in children with Down syndrome

    Författare :Georgios Tsilingaridis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth. Subjects with Down syndrome have a higher prevalence of periodontal disease compared to healthy controls. Periodontal disease in Down syndrome is considered to be multifactorial, although the aetiology is uncertain. LÄS MER
