      Matia Garcia, Ines; Salgado Goytia, Lorenzo; Ramos Arellano, Luz Elena; Muñoz_Valle, José Francisco; Armenta Solis, Adakatia; Garibay Cerdenares, Olga Lilia; Ramírez, Mónica; Parra_Rojas, Isela (SCIELO, 2017-08-09)
      Objective: Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) has been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance (IR); therefore, variants in the MCP-1 gene may contribute to the development of this ...
    • Association of extrapituitary prolactin promoter polymorphism with disease susceptibility and anti-RNP antibodies in Mexican patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. 

      Hernandez Bello, Jorge; Palafox Sanchez, Claudia Azucena; Garcia Arellano, Samuel; Reyes Castillo, Zyanya; Pereira Suarez, Ana Laura; Parra Rojas, Isela; Navarro Zarza, Jose Eduardo; De La Cruz Mosso, Ulises; Torres Carrillo, Nora Magdalena; Muñoz Valle, Jose Francisco (Archives of Medical Science, 2016-06-21)
      Prolactin (PRL) is a 23-kDa protein that can be synthesized and secreted by pituitary and extrapituitary tissues such as immune cells due to its expression being regulated by two independent promoter regions. The promoter ...
    • High relative abundance of firmicutes and increased TNF- ¿ levels correlate with obesity in children.

    • PTPN22 1858C>T polymorphism is associated with increased CD154 expression and higher CD4+ T cells percentage in rheumatoid arthritis patients. 

      Ruiz Noa, Yeniley; Hernandez Bello, Jorge; Llamas Covarrubias, Mara Anais; Palafox Sanchez, Claudia Azucena; Oregon Romero, Edith; Sánchez Hernández, Pedro Ernesto; Ramirez Dueñas, Maria Guadalupe; Parra Rojas, Isela; Muñoz Valle, Jose Francisco (Journal Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2018-10-14)
      Background: CD40 is a costimulatory molecule for B cells, and CD154 is a marker of CD4+ T cells activation. CD40 CD154 interaction promotes pro¿inflammatory cytokines secretion and autoantibodies production. PTPN22 gene ...
