Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Epstein-Barr virus-associated posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder after lung transplantation
Kathleen T. Montone,Leslie A. Litzky,Angela Wurster,Larry R. Kaiser,Joseph E. Bavaria,Robert M. Kotloff,Harold I. Palevsky,Giuseppe G. Pietra,John E. Tomaszewski +8 more
TL;DR: Detailed studies are necessary to further elucidate the risk factors for PTLD development in the lung transplant population, and EBV in situ hybridization on donor or recipient lymph nodes obtained at engraftment showed no difference in the number of EBV positive cells in patients with and without PTLD.
Journal Article
Alveolar response to experimental Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in the rat.
TL;DR: The present study clarifies the nature of alveolar injury caused by Pneumocystis carinii, but it also provides an experimental animal model in which selective injury of theAlveolar lining cells occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular immunotargeting of glucose oxidase to the endothelial antigens induces distinct forms of oxidant acute lung injury: targeting to thrombomodulin, but not to PECAM-1, causes pulmonary thrombosis and neutrophil transmigration.
Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou,Stephen J. Kennel,Arnaud Scherpereel,Rainer Wiewrodt,Charalambos C. Solomides,Giuseppe G. Pietra,Juan-Carlos Murciano,Sayed A. Shah,Harry Ischiropoulos,Steven M. Albelda,Vladimir R. Muzykantov +10 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that blocking of specific endothelial antigens by GOX immunotargeting modulates important pathological features of the lung injury initiated by local generation of H(2)O(2), and that this approach provides specific and robust models of diverse variants of human ALI/ARDS in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-translational processing of surfactant protein-C proprotein: targeting motifs in the NH(2)-terminal flanking domain are cleaved in late compartments.
Amy L. Johnson,Paola Braidotti,Giuseppe G. Pietra,Scott J. Russo,Albert Kabore,Wen-Jing Wang,Michael F. Beers +6 more
TL;DR: Synthetic processing includes a previously unrecognized cleavage of the proximal NH(2) terminus (M(1)-L(9)), which occurs after removal of COOH-flanking domains but before packaging in LBs, and that the region M(10)-T(18) is required for targeting of proSP-C to post-ER vesicular compartments in the biosynthetic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
DMBT1 expression is down-regulated in breast cancer.
Paola Braidotti,Paolo Nuciforo,J. Mollenhauer,A. Poustka,Catepeita Pellegrini,Alessia Moro,Gaetano Bulfamante,Guido Coggi,Silvano Bosari,Giuseppe G. Pietra +9 more
TL;DR: The redistribution and up-regulation of DMBT1 in normal and hyperplastic tissues flanking malignant tumours and its down-regulation in carcinomas suggests a potential role in breast cancer.
