Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently suffer from thromboembolic events. Anti-cardiolipin (aCL) antibodies have been shown to be associated with thrombosis. Recently, the antibodies against the anti-cardiolipin cofactor beta2-glycoprotein I (a(beta2)GPI) have been found with
Elevated levels of anti-cardiolipin antibodies are associated with an increased risk for venous and arterial thrombosis. In patients with inflammatory bowel disease thrombosis is a well known complication. We determined the prevalence of elevated anti-cardiolipin antibodies in 136 patients with
While the most recognised complication after joint surgery is septic arthritis, other forms of joint pathology may occur. We present a case of postoperative polyarthritis with high inflammatory markers, which responded to a course of prednisolone. The occurrence of high IgM cardiolipin antibodies
Some researchers investigated the role of anticardiolipin antibodies in the pathogenesis of the ischemic stroke. The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the prevalence of the IgG anti-cardiolipin antibodies (IgG aCL) and ischemic stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus.
We examined if lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment of mice affected cardiolipin (CL) synthesis. Mice were injected i.p. with LPS, the liver harvested, and CL synthase (CLS) enzyme activity and its mRNA expression examined. Treatment of mice with LPS resulted in a 55% decrease (p < 0.01) in mRNA
OBJECTIVE
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune syndrome where certain autoantibodies define clinicopathologic subgroups. In the present study, serum anti-cardiolipin antibodies (aCL) were evaluated.
METHODS
We investigated aCL in sera from 21 patients diagnosed
Oxidation of two anionic phospholipids--cardiolipin (CL) in mitochondria and phosphatidylserine (PS) in extramitochondrial compartments--is important signaling event, particularly during the execution of programmed cell death and clearance of apoptotic cells. Quantitative analysis of CL and PS
OBJECTIVE
Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid with an unusual dimeric structure containing four double-bonds and is easily oxidized. CL is present in mitochondria. Here we explored potential pro-inflammatory properties implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD): activation of endothelial cells,
Chronic inflammation and concomitant oxidative stress can induce mitochondrial dysfunction due to cardiolipin (CL) abnormalities in the mitochondrial inner membrane. To examine the responses of mitochondria to inflammation, macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells were activated by Kdo2-Lipid A (KLA) in our
Bacterial pneumonia is a significant healthcare burden worldwide. Failure to resolve inflammation after infection precipitates lung injury and an increase in morbidity and mortality. Gram-negative bacteria are common in pneumonia and increased levels of the mito-damage-associated molecular pattern
Microvascular rarefaction, or loss of microvascular density, is increasingly implicated in the progression from acute ischemic kidney injury to chronic kidney disease. Microvascular dropout results in chronic tissue hypoxia, interstitial inflammation, and fibrosis. There is currently no therapeutic
Numerous studies have implicated a connection between schizophrenia and autoimmune disorders. However, the precise relationship and underlying mechanism are still obscure. To further identify the association between autoimmune disorders and schizophrenia, the mRNA expressions of various cytokines
Supplemented fatty acids can incorporate into cardiolipin (CL) and affect its remodeling. The change in CL species may alter the mitochondrial membrane composition, potentially disturbing the mitochondrial structure and function during inflammation.To Background: Vascular microthrombotic lesions in lupus nephritis with or without antiphospholipid antibodies may relate to worse renal outcomes. Whether microthrombotic lesions are a consequence of renal inflammation or independently contribute to renal damage is unclear. Our aim was to investigate
The hypercoagulable state accompanying inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) is still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs) and a large panel of inherited and acquired thrombotic markers simultaneously in a sample of Tunisian patients with IBD. In
