    • Characterization of the novel ST2/IL-33 system in patients with inflammatory bowel disease 
      Beltrán, Caroll J.; Núñez, Lucía E.; Díaz Jiménez, David; Farfán, Nancy; Candia, Enzo; Heine, Claudio; López, Francisco; González Burgos, María Julieta; Quera Pino, Rodrigo; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela (2010)
      Background: ST2 has been proposed to be a regulator of inflammation and Th1/Th2 balance. ST2L is the IL-33 membrane receptor and belongs to the IL-1R family. The soluble variant, ST2s, is identical to the extracellular ...
    • Increased production of soluble TLR2 by lamina propria mononuclear cells from ulcerative colitis patients 
      Candia, Enzo; Díaz Jiménez, David; Langjahr, Patricia; Núñez, Lucía E.; Fuente, Marjorie de la; Farfán, Nancy; López Kostner, Francisco; Abedrapo Moreira, Mario Antonio; Alvarez Lobos, Manuel; Pinedo, George; Beltrán, Caroll J.; González, Carlos; González Burgos, María Julieta; Quera Pino, Rodrigo (2012)
      Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a type I pattern recognition receptor that has been shown to participate in intestinal homeostasis. Its increased expression in the lamina propria has been associated with the pathogenesis ...
    • Soluble ST2: A new and promising activity marker in ulcerative colitis 
      Díaz Jiménez, David; Núñez, Lucía E.; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Candia, Enzo; Suazo, Cristóbal; Álvarez Lobos, Manuel; González Burgos, María Julieta; Hermoso Ramello, Marcela; Quera Pino, Rodrigo (2011)
      AIM: To correlate circulating soluble ST2 (sST2) levels with the severity of ulcerative colitis (UC) and serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to demonstrate the predictive power of sST2 levels for differentiation ...
