10. For the first time, we bring together the systemic (ovarian) and autocrine/paracrine (intrauterine) sources of RLN, in an attempt to understand how RLN contributes to premature birth in women. PMID: 24640563
11. Notch signaling can down-regulate TGF-beta1/Smad3-induced fibroblast-myofibroblast transition and that RLX could exert its well known anti-fibrotic action through the up-regulation of this pathway. PMID: 23704950
12. Recombinant human relaxin (RLX) may provide a novel therapy to manage atrial fibrillation in humans by reversing fibrosis and hypertrophy and by modulating cardiac ionic currents. PMID: 23748429
13. relaxin may promote the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells by regulating the expression of MMP-9 and facilitating ECM degradation. PMID: 23661525
14. [review] This study not only clarifies the role of relaxin in sperm, but could also open avenues of research into its use in fertility treatment. PMID: 22180889
15. heterozygous loss at the RLN1 locus is not a genetic factor mediating high population-wide risk for testicular germ cell tumour, but do not exclude a contribution of this aberration in some cases of cancer PMID: 21696394
16. Endometrial expression of relaxin and its receptor in endometriosis. PMID: 20655530
17. In conclusion, we have identified S100A4 as a major mediator of the actions of relaxin in thyroid carcinoma cell motility and in vivo thyroid tumor angiogenesis. PMID: 20332215
18. Relaxin is a potent stimulator of osteoclastogenesis from hematopoietic precursors and regulates the activity of mature osteoclasts. PMID: 19833242
19. Women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss demonstrate attenuated levels of serum relaxin across all pregnancy trimesters. PMID: 19695764
20. demonstrated that prorelaxin has the ability to facilitate cell migration processes exclusive of its ability to stimulate cell proliferation PMID: 12865351
21. Data describe the conformation of the relaxin-binding site of the leucine-rich G-protein-coupled receptor 7. PMID: 15695505
22. results suggest that relaxin may contribute to follicle development through the mechanism of angiogenesis in the ovary PMID: 15956699
23. rhRLX increases cardiac output and reduces arterial load irrespective of gender PMID: 15956701
24. In naturally occurring cycles, increased serum relaxin is associated with augmented renal hemodynamics PMID: 15956702
25. roles of the relaxin system in three potential causes of preterm birth are discussed PMID: 15956731
26. human relaxin may accelerate the early stages of orthodontic tooth movement in rats PMID: 15956736
27. relaxin-like hormones appear to be present early during C-cell hyperplasia and potentially functional relaxin/INSL3 ligand-receptor systems are present in human medullary thyroid carcinoma tissues and cell lines PMID: 15956746
28. rhRLX increases cardiac output and reduces arterial load in hypertensive rats without reducing blood pressure. Time of response is dependent on model of hypertension. Rats with angiotensin II hypertension responded more rapidly to rhRLX than SHR. PMID: 16172427
29. Relaxin stimulates leukocyte adhesion and migration through a relaxin receptor LGR7-dependent mechanism PMID: 16303766
30. Relaxin signaling plays a role in prostate cancer progression. PMID: 17363522
31. Relaxin signalling in THP-1 cells uses a novel phosphotyrosine-dependent pathway. PMID: 17509748
32. Relaxin was positively related to insulin sensitivity and negatively to beta-cell function. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the correlation between relaxin and HOMA2 remained significant after adjustment for age, BMI. PMID: 18035445
33. long-term exposure to relaxin confers growth inhibitory and anti-invasive properties in oestrogen-independent tumours in vivo, which may in part be mediated through a down-regulation of S100A4 PMID: 18718015
34. RXFP1-inactive relaxin activates human glucocorticoid receptor. PMID: 19101597
35. The hydrogen-bond network and electrostatic interactions between charged groups in INSL5 by NMR-monitored temperature and pH titrations was characterized. PMID: 19178384
36. The antitumor effect of Rlx was mediated through degradation of tumor stroma, which provided increased access of infiltrating antitumor immune cells to their target tumor cells. PMID: 19329780
37. decidual RLN expression is independent of lipopolysaccharide but may induce a local sterile inflammatory process which potentially contributes to extracellular matrix degradation and weakening of the fetal membranes PMID: 19467703
38. There were no correlation between relaxin concentrations and the cervical length, indicating that relaxin is probably not the cause of preterm shortening of the cervix PMID: 19481729
39. Relaxin 1 is a candidate gene controlling lung function development in mice. PMID: 17804602
