The aim of this study was to identify regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets residing in adipose tissue, demonstrate their immunosuppressive functions, and assess the possible role of Sirt1 in their function in overweight subjects.Fat samples were obtained by lipoaspiration from healthy overweight (n = 15) and normoweight (n = 11) subjects. We obtained the stromal vascular fraction and then isolated the...
Dectin-1 is a key innate receptor involved in various cellular responses and may have a direct role in chronic inflammatory conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this work was to evaluate the expression and function of Dectin-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from T2D patients. Dectin-1 expression was analyzed by flow cytometry and RT-PCR in monocytes and lymphocyte subpopulations...
We assessed the possible association between several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of P2RX7 gene with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We determined the function of P2X7 receptor and the frequency of the 489C>T, 1096C>G, and 1513A>C SNP of P2RX7 gene in 111 and 122 patients with SLE and RA, and 98 healthy subjects. We found no significant association...
