Enhanced expression of miR-21 and miR-150 is a feature of anti-mitochondrial antibody-negative primary biliary cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Anti-mitochondrial-autoantibodies (AMA) remain a hallmark of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) however approximately 10% of patients test negative for these antibodies. They do not differ in terms of ... -
Evaluation of the cutaneous inflammatory cells in dogs with leishmaniosis and in dogs without the disease that were naturally infected by Leishmania infantum (syn. L. chagasi)
(2021)Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is associated with an aberrant cutaneous immune response. Few studies have compared cutaneous immune cells among dogs with leishmaniosis or infected without leishmaniosis, and ... -
Evidence of Brucella melitensis DNA in the Microbiome of Ctenocephalides felis from Pet Cats in Greece
(2020)Cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) are the most prevalent ectoparasites of pet animals with cosmopolitan distribution, obligatory hematophagous, and may prey on humans to receive bloodmeals. We studied the microbiota of 100 ... -
Expression of cytochrome P50s and transcription factors Pxr and Car in canine tissues
(2008)Dogs are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for many study types, including those that will impact decisions on drug development. The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) ... -
Extracts from the mediterranean food plants Carthamus lanatus, Cichorium intybus, and Cichorium spinosum enhanced GSH levels and increased Nrf2 expression in human endothelial cells
(2018)The Mediterranean diet is considered to prevent several diseases. In the present study, the antioxidant properties of six extracts from Mediterranean plant foods were assessed. The extracts' chemical composition analysis ... -
First-Time Detection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus and Porcine Circovirus 2 in an Albanian Farrow-to-Finish Herd
(2018)The purpose of this case report is to describe for the first time concurrent porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) infections in a commercial farrow-to-finish pig farm ... -
Heat shock protein 70 improves in vitro embryo yield and quality from heat stressed bovine oocytes
(2021)Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a chaperon that stabilizes unfolded or partially folded proteins, preventing inappropriate inter-and intramolecular interactions. Here, we examined the developmental competence of in vitro ... -
Hepatitis a among refugees, asylum seekers and migrants living in hosting facilities, Greece, April to December 2016
(2017)An increased number of hepatitis A cases among refugees, asylum seekers and migrants residing in hosting facilities in Greece were recorded between April and December 2016. In total, 177 laboratory-confirmed symptomatic ... -
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 ... -
Herpes viruses and human papilloma virus in nasal polyposis and controls
(2015)Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is a multifactorial disease entity with an unclear pathogenesis. Contradictory data exist in the literature on the potential implication of viral elements in adult ... -
Heterologous Challenge with PRRSV-1 MLV in Pregnant Vaccinated Gilts: Potential Risk on Health and Immunity of Piglets
(2022)The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential risks of the four commercial PRRS-1 MLV vaccines in pregnant vaccinated gilts at the last stage of gestation under field conditions. The study was conducted ... -
Histopathological Lesions Accompanied with First-Time Isolation of a PRRSV-2 Strain in Greece
(2020)Genotype 2 strains of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV-2) have been reported sporadically in Europe. Even if, PRRSV-2 reported to be genetically homogenous in Europe due to the introduction of an ... -
Host species determines the composition of the prokaryotic microbiota in phlebotomus sandflies
(2020)Phlebotomine sandflies are vectors of the humans’ and mammals’ parasite Leishmania spp. Although the role of gut microbiome in the biological cycle of insects is acknowledged, we still know little about the factors modulating ... -
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 ... -
Impact of Interleukin 10 Deficiency on Intestinal Epithelium Responses to Inflammatory Signals
(2021)Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic, anti-inflammatory cytokine that has a major protective role in the intestine. Although its production by cells of the innate and adaptive immune system has been extensively studied, ... -
Impact of twenty pesticides on soil carbon microbial functions and community composition
(2022)Pesticides are known to affect non-targeted soil microorganisms. Still, studies comparing the effect of multiple pesticides on a wide range of microbial endpoints associated with carbon cycling are scarce. Here, we employed ... -
