Is eMAP-II expression associated with macrophage accumulation in primary uveal melanoma?
In uveal melanoma, macrophages accumulate at sites of EMAP-II expression. Based on the results, it may be hypothesized that this process of chemotaxis is facilitated by EMAP-II-dependent expression of ICAM-1 on vascular endothelial cells and concomitantly leads to localized vascular damage, as indicated by release of von Willebrand factor.
Beta-adrenergic receptors and AG are likely to interact at the metabolic level. In humans, the lypolitic response to a beta2-adrenergic agonist such as SALB is amplified by AG. Meanwhile, during the co-treatment, the marginal insulinotropic effect was not associated with an increase in glycemia.
