Aqueous humor polyamines and alkaline phosphatase activity in endotoxin-induced uveitis: correlations to diverse leukocyte subsets.

Only registered users can translate articles

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been proposed to be a part of the acute phase inflammatory response. They have been shown to be useful markers for cellular kinetics and change with various pathological conditions. The hypothesis that aqueous humor polyamines could be used to

Lack of association between the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 R263Q and R620W functional genetic variants and endogenous non-anterior uveitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Endogenous uveitis is a major cause of visual loss mediated by the immune system. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes a lymphoid-specific phosphatase that plays a key role in T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Two independent functional missense single

Intermediate uveitis in a child with phosphatase and tensin homolog gene mutation and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) is a congenital disorder characterised by macrocephaly, multiple hamartomas, lipomas, and pigmented macules of the glans penis. Intermediate uveitis is characterised by chronic inflammatory cells aggregates on the pars plana (snowbanks) and within the

Interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein induced experimental autoimmune uveitis: an immunophenotypic analysis using alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase staining, dual immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Using a Lewis rat model of IRBP induced EAU, we have examined the progress of leucocytes infiltrating the uveitic eye. APAAP and dual immunofluorescence were used to show that ED7 and 8 (CD11b/CD18) positive monocytes, W3/25 and OX8 (CD4 and CD8) lymphocytes were prominent in the initial

The Clinical Relevance of the IBD-Associated Variation within the Risk Gene Locus Encoding Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor Type 2 in Patients of the Swiss IBD Cohort.

OBJECTIVE The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1893217 within the gene locus encoding protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) results in a dysfunctional PTPN2 protein is associated with Crohn's disease (CD) and exists in perfect linkage disequilibrium with the CD- and

Anicteric hepatitis and uveitis in a worker exposed to trichloroethylene.

Only registered users can translate articles

A previously healthy woman developed acute anicteric hepatitis which slowly resolved, though bilateral anterior uveitis then appeared. No other cause than an occupational exposure to trichloroethylene was found, and rechallenge by resuming work has led to a transient increase in serum alkaline

Histochemical analysis of experimental granulomatous uveitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have previously demonstrated the effects of various inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism on experimental lens-induced granulomatous uveitis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of these same inhibitors on the expression of lysosomal enzymes at different stages of choroidal

Liver Function Testing Is Not Useful in the Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis in Patients Presenting with Uveitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the usefulness of abnormal liver function tests in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in patients presenting with ocular inflammation. METHODS Retrospective comparison of sample populations of 100 patients each with sarcoidosis-associated uveitis (SAU) and non-sarcoid uveitis

Genotype analysis of polymorphisms in autoimmune susceptibility genes, CTLA-4 and PTPN22, in an acute anterior uveitis cohort.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is the most common form of uveitis and is thought to be autoimmune in nature. Recent studies have described genes that act as master controllers of autoimmunity. Protein tyrosine phosphatase type 22 (PTPN22) and Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) are two

Immunocytochemical analysis of blood lymphocytes in uveitis.

We studied the surface expression of activation markers IL2-R, HLA-DR and CD45-RO on peripheral T-lymphocytes in two groups of patients (n = 26) with idiopathic uveoretinitis, compared with controls. Thirteen patients were analysed by alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP)

[The role of lysosomal enzymes in adjuvant-induced uveitis in rabbits (author's transl)].

Only registered users can translate articles

Acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase were used as marker enzymes of lysosome, and their role in adjuvant-induced uveitis was studied. These enzyme activities in the iris-ciliary processes were increased in the inflamed tissues. Changes in these enzyme activities in the tissues paralleled the

Retinal Mueller glial cells trigger the hallmark inflammatory process in autoimmune uveitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Spontaneous equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) is an incurable autoimmune disease affecting the eye. Although retinal-autoantigen specific T-helper 1 cells have been demonstrated to trigger disease progression and relapses, the molecular processes leading to retinal degeneration and consequent blindness

Commentary: Role of choroidal thickness assessment in acute anterior uveitis

Only registered users can translate articles

Everolimus (EVE), an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin, is an emerging second-line therapeutic option for hormone therapy-resistant breast cancers. However, some patients do not respond to EVE, whereas in others it exacerbates the disease. Cellular inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A

Viral-antibody complexes in canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1)ocular lesions: leukocyte chemotaxis and enzyme release.

Only registered users can translate articles

Canine adenovirus-type 1 (CAV-1)-antibody complexes caused severe anterior uveitis with corneal edema ("blue eye") when injected into the anterior chamber of normal dogs. The response of the anterior uvea to such immune complexes (IC) was similar to the spontaneously occurring disease. In the

Thermally labile components of aqueous humor potently induce osteogenic potential in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) hold promise for use in cell-based therapies. Their intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties are potentially useful for treatments of inflammatory conditions such as uveitis, while their ability to differentiate along multiple cell lineages suggests use in
