Protective activity of butyrate on hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage in isolated human colonocytes and HT29 tumour cells (2001)

Rosignoli, P., Fabiani, R., De Bartolomeo, A., Spinozzi, F., Agea, E., Pelli, M.A., ...

Epidemiological studies support the involvement of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in colon physiology and the protective role of butyrate on colon carcinogenesis. Among the possible mechanisms by...

Basis for defective proliferation of peripheral blood T cells to anti-CD2 antibodies in primary Sjögren's syndrome.

Gerli, R, Bertotto, A, Agea, E, Lanfrancone, L, Cernetti, C, Spinozzi, F, ...

Anti-CD2-induced T cell proliferation was analyzed in the peripheral blood samples of 31 primary and 8 secondary untreated Sjögren's syndrome patients. Anti-CD2-stimulated PBMC proliferation was...

IL-4 is able to reverse the CD2-mediated negative apoptotic signal to CD4-CD8- alpha beta and/or gamma delta T lymphocytes.

Spinozzi, F, Nicoletti, I, Agea, E, Belia, S, Moraca, R, Migliorati, G, ...

Activation of immature thymocytes or transformed T lymphocytes via T-cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 signalling can induce programmed cell death (apoptosis). Recent data indicate that anti-CD3/TCR monoclonal...

Long term treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with high doses of intravenous immunoglobulins: effects on disease activity and serum cytokines.

Muscat, C, Bertotto, A, Ercolani, R, Bistoni, O, Agea, E, Cesarotti, M, ...

OBJECTIVE--To evaluate the effects of long term treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with high doses of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg). METHODS--Ten patients with active RA and prior...

Expression and functional role of 1F7 (CD26) antigen on peripheral blood and synovial fluid T cells in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Muscat, C, Bertotto, A, Agea, E, Bistoni, O, Ercolani, R, Tognellini, R, ...

The expression and the functional role of the CD26 (1F7) T cell surface molecule, an ectoenzyme which seems to represent a functional collagen receptor of T lymphocytes and to have a role in T cell...

High levels of the soluble form of CD30 molecule in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are expression of CD30+ T cell involvement in the inflamed joints.

Gerli, R, Muscat, C, Bistoni, O, Falini, B, Tomassini, C, Agea, E, ...

The CD30 is a surface molecule expressed by Th2-type lymphokine-producing T cells upon activation. CD30-expressing activated T cells release a soluble form of the molecule, which can be detectable...

Local expansion of allergen-specific CD30+Th2-type gamma delta T cells in bronchial asthma.

Spinozzi, F., Agea, E., Bistoni, O., Forenza, N., Monaco, A., Falini, B., ...

BACKGROUND: T lymphocytes infiltrating airways during the allergic immune response play a fundamental role in recruiting other specialized cells, such as eosinophils, by secreting interleukin 5...
