Abstrakt: |
Calmodulin levels in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) and healthy controls were measured by their ability to activate cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase. Calmodulin levels were significantly increased in PSS fibroblasts compared with normal control fibroblasts. The changes in calmodulin content of PSS fibroblasts were also assessed by a radioimmunoassay. These findings suggest that an elevated level of calmodulin may play a role in the pathogenesis of PSS. |
