Villitis of unknown etiology (VUE) is associated with fetal growth restriction. However, the underlying mechanisms of villous injury in placentas with VUE are still largely unknown. We aimed to verify whether apoptosis-related factors are increased in VUE placentas. Furthermore, we determined apoptosis of villous cells.Six placentas with VUE and 3 control placentas were stained using immunohistochemistry...
Mitomycin C (MMC) therapy often causes toxicity affecting the small intestine. We investigated the relationship between pathological manifestations and cell death, or the proliferation of small intestinal villi in rats treated with MMC. The length of the villi, apoptosis, and cell proliferation were evaluated in the small intestine at 3, 7, and 11 days after MMC treatment by the TUNEL method, BrdU-immunohistochemistry,...
In bronchial asthma, eosinophils are upregulated and their survival is suggested to be prolonged by the action of some cytokines such as Interleukin (IL)-3, IL-5 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). We find here that the survival of eosinophils in the peripheral blood of patients with asthma is correlated with the serum levels of IL-3 but not of IL-5 and GM-CSF. Interestingly,...
