Sirolimus enhances cyclosporine a-induced cytotoxicity in human renal glomerular mesangial cells

O'Connell, Séin ; Slattery, Craig ; Ryan, Michael P. ; McMorrow, Tara (Hindawi, 2012-01-23)

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an ever increasing problem worldwide. However the mechanisms underlying disease progression are not fully elucidated. This work addressed the nephrotoxicity induced by the immunosuppressive ...
Synthetic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonists rosiglitazone and troglitazone suppress transcription by promoter 3 of the human thromboxane A2 receptor gene in human erythroleukemia cells

Coyle, Adrian T. ; Kinsella, B. Therese (Elsevier, 2006-04-28)

The human thromboxane (TX)A2 receptor (TP) gene encodes two TP isoforms, TPalpha and TP beta that are regulated by distinct promoters designated promoter (Prm) 1 and Prm3, respectively. Previous studies established that ...
Targeting tumour necrosis factor-α in hypoxia and synaptic signalling

O'Connor, J. J. (Springer-Verlag, 2013-01)

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which is synthesised and released in the brain by astrocytes, microglia and neurons in response to numerous internal and external stimuli. It is involved in ...
Thromboxane A2 receptor mediated activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase cascades in human uterine smooth muscle cells

Miggin, Sinead M. ; Kinsella, B. Therese (Elsevier, 2001-05-28)

Both thromboxane (TX) A2 and 8-epi prostaglandin (PG) F2alpha have been reported to stimulate mitogenesis of vascular smooth muscle (SM) in a number of species. However, TXA2 and 8-epiPGF2alpha mediated mitogenic signalling ...
Thromboxane A2 signalling in humans : a ‘tail’ of two receptors

Kinsella, B. Therese (Portland Press, 2001)

Since its discovery in 1975, we now have a wealth of knowledge relating to the biochemical, pharmacological and physiologic actions of thromboxane (TX) A2 and its related metabolites. These molecular insights have been ...
Transcriptional regulation of the human prostacyclin receptor gene is dependent on Sp1, PU.1 and Oct-1 in megakaryocytes and endothelial cells

Turner, Elizebeth C. ; Kinsella, B. Therese (Elsevier, 2009-02-27)

Prostacyclin plays a central role in haemostasis, inflammation and nociception. However, the factors regulating expression of the prostacyclin receptor (IP) gene in humans, or in other species, have not been identified. ...
The Wilms’ tumor suppressor protein WT1 acts as a key transcriptional repressor of the human thromboxane A2 receptor gene in megakaryocytes

Gannon, AnneMarie ; Kinsella, B. Therese (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-11)

In humans, TPα and TPβ isoforms of the thromboxane A2 receptor are transcriptionally regulated by distinct promoters, designated Prm1 and Prm3. Previous investigations identified two upstream repressor regions (URR) 1 and ...
