Is decreased expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen associated with dexamethasone inhibition of the proliferation of rat tendon fibroblasts?
These results suggest that Dex inhibition of the proliferation of rat tendon fibroblasts is associated with a p21CIP1 independent decrease of the PCNA gene expression.
TLR4 signalling does not contribute to OxPAPC induced IL-8 expression in human epithelial HEK-293, monocytic THP-1 or aortic endothelial cells. As lipids extracted from diseased human artery also induced no TLR signalling, it is likely that the TLR-activating materials contributing to atherosclerosis are not of endogenous lipid origin.
