P186 Expression of functional NMDA receptors in human OA chondrocytes (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramage, L., Martel, M., Hardingham, G., & Salter, D. (2007). P186 Expression of functional NMDA receptors in human OA chondrocytes. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 14(Supp. B), S108. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1063-4584%2807%2960638-4

Purpose: Classical neuronal signalling molecules such as substance P and glutamate have been identified in cartilage and are being shown to have roles in regulation of chondrocyte function. This study looks at the expression and function of the metab... Read More about P186 Expression of functional NMDA receptors in human OA chondrocytes.

Induction of apoptosis with tobacco smoke and related products in A549 lung epithelial cells in vitro (2006)
Journal Article
Ramage, L., Jones, A. C., & Whelan, C. J. (2006). Induction of apoptosis with tobacco smoke and related products in A549 lung epithelial cells in vitro. Journal of Inflammation, 3(1), 3. https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-9255-3-3

Background This study has investigated the ability of tobacco smoke, and ingredients of tobacco smoke, to induce apoptosis in the airway epithelial cell line A549. Method A549 cells were treated with 80 μg/ml Tobacco smoke condensate (TSC), 10 mM...

Apoptosis induced by Paclitaxel, tobacco smoke condensate and hydrogen peroxide in lung epithelial cells (A549) (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramage, L., Jones, A., & Whelan, C. (2004). Apoptosis induced by Paclitaxel, tobacco smoke condensate and hydrogen peroxide in lung epithelial cells (A549). Inflammation Research, 53(S3), S207-S230. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf03353882

Cigarette smoke is known to be a complex mixture of >4000 constituents dispersed between the volatile and non-volatile phase, and inhaled exposure causes lung inflammation and cell injury. Here we investigate the effects of some of components of ciga... Read More about Apoptosis induced by Paclitaxel, tobacco smoke condensate and hydrogen peroxide in lung epithelial cells (A549).

Expression of C-Reactive Protein in Human Lung Epithelial Cells and Upregulation by Cytokines and Carbon Particles (2004)
Journal Article
Ramage, L., Proudfoot, L., & Guy, K. (2004). Expression of C-Reactive Protein in Human Lung Epithelial Cells and Upregulation by Cytokines and Carbon Particles. Inhalation Toxicology, 16(9), 607-613. https://doi.org/10.1080/08958370490464599

C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypic human acute-phase protein and is found at increased levels in the blood during episodes of inflammation. CRP was generally thought to be produced only by hepatocytes; however, several studies have shown extr...

Expression of C-Reactive Protein and Heat-Shock Protein-70 in the Lung Epithelial Cell Line A549, in Response to PM10 Exposure (2004)
Journal Article
Ramage, L., & Guy, K. (2004). Expression of C-Reactive Protein and Heat-Shock Protein-70 in the Lung Epithelial Cell Line A549, in Response to PM10 Exposure. Inhalation Toxicology, 16(6-7), 447-452. https://doi.org/10.1080/08958370490439614

Increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and heat-shock protein-70 (Hsp70) in plasma are known to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study we have investigated the effects of environmental air pollution partic...

Expression of pro-inflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549, in response to cytokine, and environmental particle exposure. (2003)
Thesis
Ramage, L. environmental particle exposure. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2778

This thesis investigates the effects of various inflammatory stimuli, including cytokines and air pollution particles, on the expression and secretion of various proinflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549. The pro-inflammatory pro... Read More about Expression of pro-inflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549, in response to cytokine, and environmental particle exposure..
