Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInterleukin 10 Induces the Maturation of Putative Tolerogenic Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells as Revealed by GeneArray AnalysisMarianne A. Jakobsen, Bjarne K. MØller, Klaus Rieneck et al.IL-10 is a multifunctional cytokine with known inhibitory effect on DC maturation. In the present study, we show that the presence of IL-10 during the first 6 days of maturation of Mo-DC has severe effects on the phenotype with IL-10 treated Mo-DC retaining a high expression of factors involved in antigen uptake and having low expression of costimulatory factors and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,626 accessesView PDF Cite
