Human monocyte/neutrophil elastase inhibitor (MNEI) is a specific inhibitor of the neutrophil azurophil granule proteases including elastase. To understand the physiological mechanisms that regulate expression of MNEI, we dissected a 1.0 kb region upstream of exon 1. On transient transfection, promo

## Abstract Large osteoclasts (10+ nuclei), predominant in rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease, have higher expression of proteases and activating receptors and also have increased resorptive activity when compared to small (2–5 nuclei) osteoclasts. We hypothesized that large and small ost
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) plays a critical role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here, we investigate the effect of fibroblast growth factor‐1 (FGF‐1) on the expression of MMP‐9 in ENU1564, an ethyl‐__N__‐nitrosourea‐induced rat mammary adenocarcinoma cell line. We observed th
## Abstract We have shown that the bacterial iron chelator, deferoxamine (DFO), triggers inflammatory signals including the production of CXC chemokine IL‐8, in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) by activating the ERK1/2 and p38 kinase pathways. In this study we investigated the mechanisms in
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) are upregulated in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells by cytokines produced at sites of inflammation. The cytokine profile for induction of VCAM-1, however, is different for the two cell types. Tumor
## We previously reported that chemokine Growth Regu lated Oncogene 1 (Gro 1) is over-expressed in murine squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with metastatic tumor progression. The enhanced expression of Gro-1 gene by SCC is regulated by activation of nuclear factor-B (NF-B), leading to accelerated tumor
