    Abstract: Background: Defective ERK1 activity may regulate the DNA hypomethylation in T cells of lupus mice. Aims: To investigate the function of ERK1 in regulating DNA hypomethylation and explore the potential molecular mechanisms involved in lupus mice. Methods: CD4+T cells were isolated from MRL/lpr and BALB/c mice, activated in vitro in the presence or a... Show More

    Abstract: Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 is a member of MMPs family which is zinc-dependent endopeptidases that degrade all components of ECM and vascular basement membrane. MMPs are closely involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Aim of the work: is to evaluate the immune-expression and clinical significance of MMPs molecule in patients w... Show More

    Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease in which monoclonal plasma cells proliferate abnormally. The poor prognosis of MM is always closely related to the immunosuppression of T cells. Restore the immune function of suppressed T cells may reverse the immunodeficiency in the MM microenvironment and improve prognosis. In recent years, immunosupp... Show More
