Expression of AGPAT2, an enzyme involved in the glycerophospholipid/triacylglycerol biosynthesis pathway, is directly regulated by HIF-1 and promotes survival and etoposide resistance of cancer cells under hypoxia
(2018)Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) supports survival of normal cells under low oxygen concentration and cancer cells in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. This involves metabolic reprogramming via upregulation of glycolysis, ... -
Expression of human serum albumin (HSA) mRNA in human granulosa cells: Potential correlation of the 95 amino acid long carboxyl terminal of HSA to gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor
(2006)Introduction: According to previous studies, gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor (GnSAF), which is assumed to be produced in human granulosa cells, has a homology with the carboxyl terminal of the human serum albumin ... -
Functional characterization of the hGRαT556I causing Chrousos syndrome
(2016)Background: Chrousos syndrome is a rare pathologic condition characterized by generalized, partial resistance of target tissues to glucocorticoids and caused by inactivating mutations of the human glucocorticoid receptor ... -
Hepatocyte autotaxin expression promotes liver fibrosis and cancer
(2017)Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted lysophospholipase D that catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a pleiotropic growth-factor–like lysophospholipid. Increased ATX expression has been detected in various chronic ... -
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I/II infections in volunteer blood donors from Northern and Western Greece: Increased prevalence in one blood bank unit
(2004)Blood donors are routinely screened for antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic viruses type I and II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) in the United States, Canada, Japan, and some European countries. Previous reports from our group ... -
Humoral response in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis targets neural precursor cells in the central nervous system of naive rodents
(2017)Background: Neural precursor cells (NPCs) located in the subventricular zone (SVZ), a well-defined NPC niche, play a crucial role in central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. Moreover, NPCs are involved in the endogenous ... -
Hypoxia upregulates integrin gene expression in microvascular endothelial cells and promotes their migration and capillary-like tube formation
(2017)Tissue hypoxia affects gene expression through the hypoxia-inducible transcription factors, HIF-1 and HIF-2, in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is a complex response of endothelial cells ... -
Identification of Chitinase-3-Like Protein 1 as a Novel Neutrophil Antigenic Target in Crohn's Disease
(2019)Background and Aims: There is an increasing incidence of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Autoimmune responses are involved in the pathophysiology of IBD, but their underlying pathways and target antigens have not yet ... -
Identification of MAPK phosphorylation sites and their role in the localization and activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α
(2006)Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) controls the expression of most genes induced by hypoxic conditions. Regulation of expression and activity of its inducible subunit, HIF-1α, involves several post-translational modifications. ... -
In human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells, dichloroacetate inhibits aerobic glycolysis, induces apoptosis and favors differentiation towards the regulatory T-cell subset instead of effector T-cell subsets
(2016)Although kidney transplantation is the best therapy for end-stage renal disease, rejection remains a concern, and currently available immunosuppressive agents contribute to morbidity and mortality. Thus, novel immunosuppressive ... -
In Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction, the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl-Hydroxylase Inhibitor Roxadustat Suppresses Cellular and Humoral Alloimmunity
(2020)Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitors are currently used for the treatment of renal anemia. Since HIF affects immune cells, we evaluated the effect of such a drug, the roxadustat, on adaptive immunity. ... -
Increase in antioxidant activity by sheep/goat whey protein through nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2) is cell type dependent
(2016)The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which sheep/goat whey protein exerts its antioxidant activity. Thus, it was examined whey protein's effects on the expression of transcription ... -
Increased immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus UL83 in systemic sclerosis
(2017)Objective. To study immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in systemic sclerosis (SSc), since HCMV has been put forward as a candidate infectious cause. Methods. Eighty four patients with SSc (67 females; ... -
Increased indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase in monocytes of patients on hemodialysis
(2016)Hemodialysis patients suffer from susceptibility to infections. Inflammation upregulates indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the antigen-presenting cells, which suppresses T-cell function. Plasma IDO activity or protein ... -
Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase Up-regulates Hypoxia-inducible Factor-1α Expression by degrading l-Tryptophan but not its activity in human alloreactive t-cells
(2018)Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) suppresses T-cell function at least in part by altering cell metabolism. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) increases upon T-cell activation and alters cell metabolism favoring their ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, by degrading L-tryptophan, enhances carnitine palmitoyltransferase i activity and fatty acid oxidation, and exerts fatty acid-dependent effects in human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed in antigen presenting cells and by degrading L-tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway suppresses CD4+ T-cell proliferation, induces apoptosis and promotes differentiation ... -
