Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of immune cells into the central nervous system (CNS) with subsequent demyelination, axonal degeneration and neuronal death MS is the most common cause of non traumatic lifelong disability in
Periodontal diseases is a chronic inflammatory diseases initiated by microbial infection that leads to a host response resulting in inflammatory breakdown of tooth supporting, osseous and soft tissue structures YKL-40 also called as human cartilage glycoprotein-39(HC-gp39), an acute phase protein is
S-nitrosylation signaling is relevant to a broad range of diseases, including severe asthma. Work in the Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP) and other research networks has established that asthma is remarkably heterogeneous. The response to standard asthmatic therapies is sub-optimal in many
YKL-40 (also named chitinase 3 like-1 protein, CHI3L1), is a member of the mammalian chitinase like proteins and is a highly conserved glycoprotein. YKL-40 is produced by cancer cells and macrophages and promotes cancer progression by activating inflammation and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Thus,
For periphery tests: 10 ml blood will be collected from all eligible subjects into SST tubes. Then serum will be separated and freeze at -80 degrees until analysis of Chitinase 3 like-1 protein by ELISA.
For tissue tests: biopsies will be taken from colons of eligible participants. One part of these
Activated lipid engorged macrophages are the hallmark for Gaucher disease (GD). The evidence for this activation comes from the clinical finding of 1000-fold increase of serum chitotriosidase, a chitinase specifically secreted from activated macrophages. While these markers decrease with the
Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) is a member of human chitinases family. According to previous studies in literatures, increased expression of CHI3L1 has been proven to be correlated with the presence of different diseases, including cancers, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
