Human articular chondrocytes express ChemR23 and chemerin; ChemR23 promotes inflammatory signalling upon binding the ligand chemerin 21-157
Berg, Vivian; Sveinbjørnsson, Baldur; Bendiksen, Signy; Brox, Jan; Meknas, Khaled; Figenschau, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)Chemerin is a chemotactic peptide which directs leukocytes expressing the chemokine-like receptor ChemR23 towards sites of inflammation. ChemR23 is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds several different ligands, and it is also expressed by other cell types such as adipocytes. In addition to chemotaxis, recent reports suggest that ChemR23 is capable of mediating either inflammatory or anti-inflammatory ... -

Polymorphisms Related to the Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level and Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes, Cancer and Mortality. The Tromsø Study
Jorde, Rolf; Schirmer, Henrik; Wilsgaard, Tom; Joakimsen, Ragnar Martin; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Figenschau, Yngve; Berg, Jens Petter; Svartberg, Johan; Grimnes, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Low serum 25(OH)D levels are associated with cardiovascular risk factors, and also predict future myocardial infarction (MI), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cancer and all-cause mortality. Recently several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level have been identified. If these relations are causal one would expect a similar association between these ...
