Journal ArticleDOI
Increased expression levels of monocyte CCR2 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in patients with diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: The data suggest that elevated serum MCP-1 levels and increased monocyte CCR2, CD36, CD68 expression correlate with poor blood glucose control and potentially contribute to increased recruitment of monocytes to the vessel wall in diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatocyte growth factor enhances adhesion of breast cancer cells to endothelial cells in vitro through up-regulation of CD44
Shinichiro Mine,Takeshi Fujisaki,Chie Kawahara,Takahiro Tabata,Takeshi Iida,Manabu Yasuda,Toshiyuki Yoneda,Yoshiya Tanaka +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that CD44 may confer the metastatic properties of breast cancer cells and, therefore, could be used as a target in future molecular cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atorvastatin, Etidronate, or Both in Patients at High Risk for Atherosclerotic Aortic Plaques: A Randomized Controlled Trial
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-end-point trial involving 108 participants with hypercholesterolemia was conducted, where participants received 20 mg atorvastatin daily, 400 mg etidronate daily, or both drugs daily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 induces scavenger receptor expression and monocyte differentiation into foam cells
TL;DR: The results imply that MCP-1 is involved in the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis through the induction of SCR expression via the ERK pathway and differentiation of monocytes into foam macrophages, as well as induction of monocyte migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum hyaluronan concentration as a marker of angiopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: The data suggest that serum HA level correlates with poor blood glucose control and diabetic angiopathy and that it could be used as a marker of diabeticAngiopathy.
