Relaxin 14-17 insulin like growth factor binding protein 1 Homo sapiens 67-74 15155604-8 2004 In stromal cells, MPA alone caused a slight increase (2-4-fold) of the production rate of IGFBP-1 whereas MPA plus RLX synergistically increased (>40-fold) the IGFBP-1 production. Relaxin 115-118 insulin like growth factor binding protein 1 Homo sapiens 163-170 15155604-11 2004 CONCLUSION: The present study showed that in undifferentiated endometrial stromal cells, progestin increases the RLX receptor content to enhance the effect of RLX on the target gene (IGFBP-1). Relaxin 113-116 insulin like growth factor binding protein 1 Homo sapiens 183-190 15026539-6 2004 This effect of RLX appears to be mediated by activation of NOS II transcription factor NF-kappaB, since it was abolished by the NF-kappaB inhibitors curcumin-95 and dexamethasone. Relaxin 15-18 nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens 87-96 15026539-6 2004 This effect of RLX appears to be mediated by activation of NOS II transcription factor NF-kappaB, since it was abolished by the NF-kappaB inhibitors curcumin-95 and dexamethasone.

Relaxin 0-3 endothelin 3 Homo sapiens 67-79 12522118-12 2003 In conclusion, RLX stimulates endothelial and epithelial ET(B) via a Ras-independent Raf-1-MEK-1-ERK-1/2 pathway that activates NF-kappaB. Relaxin 15-18 endothelin receptor type B Homo sapiens 57-62 12522118-12 2003 In conclusion, RLX stimulates endothelial and epithelial ET(B) via a Ras-independent Raf-1-MEK-1-ERK-1/2 pathway that activates NF-kappaB.

Relaxin 135-142 matrix metallopeptidase 2 Rattus norvegicus 47-52 14593002-9 2003 Using gelatin zymography, we showed increased pro and active MMP-2 activity in small renal arteries from relaxin-treated nonpregnant and midterm pregnant rats relative to the control animals. Relaxin 105-112 matrix metallopeptidase 2 Rattus norvegicus 61-66 12373075-13 2003 In this group, Rlx treatment was accompanied by a decrease in serum creatinine (Veh 1.01 +/- 0.03 vs. Rlx 0.81 +/- 0.05 mg/dl, p = 0.02) and an increase in GFR (Veh 0.90 +/- 0.14 vs. Rlx 1.33 +/- 0.11 ml/min, p = 0.03). Relaxin 15-18 mitochondrial ribosomal protein L19 Homo sapiens 183-188 12349956-3 2002 RLX reduced dose-dependently the expression of the activation marker CD63, the release of histamine and the rise of intracellular Ca2+ levels which triggers granule release by stimulated basophils. Relaxin 0-3 CD63 molecule Homo sapiens 69-73 9275049-2 1997 Although we have evidence of a role for insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in mediating relaxin-induced growth of porcine granulosa cells in vitro, the mechanism of action by which relaxin enhances uterine growth has not been identified. Relaxin 90-97 insulin like growth factor 1 Sus scrofa 40-68 10021461-7 1999 In contrast, the renal vasoconstrictory response to angiotensin II was attenuated by the RLX treatment. Relaxin 89-92 angiotensinogen Rattus norvegicus 52-66 10021461-10 1999 In conclusion, the renal and osmoregulatory effects of chronic RLX administration to conscious rats resemble the physiological changes of pregnancy in several respects: (a) marked increases in ERPF and GFR with a mediatory role for nitric oxide; (b) attenuation of the renal circulatory response to angiotensin II; and (c) reduction in plasma osmolality. Relaxin 63-66 angiotensinogen Rattus norvegicus 299-313 9622136-7 1998 RLX stimulated the expression of immunoreactive inducible NO synthase and increased significantly and in a concentration-related fashion inducible NO synthase activity, NO generation, and intracellular cGMP levels.

Relaxin 90-97 insulin like growth factor 1 Sus scrofa 70-75 1547722-6 1992 Exposure of luteal cell-containing monolayers to basic FGF resulted in a significant reduction (P less than 0.05) in the rate of RLX-induced plaque formation, evidence of an inhibitory effect of basic FGF on the rate of basal RLX secretion. Relaxin 129-132 fibroblast growth factor 2 Ovis aries 49-58 8150531-5 1994 The findings obtained show that RLX, when applied at micromolar concentrations, or even at nanomolar concentrations for long exposure times, suppresses proliferation, stimulates differentiation, and enhances expression of the surface molecule E-cadherin.

Relaxin 18-21 insulin like growth factor binding protein 1 Homo sapiens 41-48 3008478-8 1986 The addition of Rlx treatment reversed an inhibiting effect of oestrogen alone on both uterine and cervical collagenase and proteoglycanase activities, at the same time as completely obliterating the stimulating effect of oestrogen on uterine and cervical beta-glucuronidase activity. Relaxin 16-19 glucuronidase, beta Rattus norvegicus 256-274 7263848-2 1981 In previous experiments we observed that the inhibition of spontaneous uterine contractions produced by decidual RLX was masked or absent if the samples were contaminated with PRL.

Relaxin 43-46 relaxin 2 Homo sapiens 66-75 28540295-16 2017 However, with preadministration of PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor LY294002, the effect of RLX was blocked. Relaxin 86-89 AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens 40-43 29399073-5 2018 Furthermore, RLX significantly suppressed the formation of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, and enhanced the activity of SOD. Relaxin 13-16 superoxide dismutase 2 Rattus norvegicus 133-136 29399073-7 2018 However, the Notch inhibitor DAPT almost abolished the protective effects of RLX. Relaxin 77-80 notch receptor 1 Rattus norvegicus 13-18 29399073-8 2018 These results suggested that RLX protected cardiomyocytes from HG-induced hypertrophy and apoptosis partly through a Notch1-dependent pathway, which may be associated with reducing oxidative stress.
