• Allopurinol protects human glomerular endothelial cells from high glucose-induced reactive oxygen species generation, p53 overexpression and endothelial dysfunction 

      Eleftheriadis T., Pissas G., Antoniadi G., Liakopoulos V., Stefanidis I. (2018)
      Purpose: Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction in capillary endothelial cells is a prerequisite for the development of diabetic nephropathy. Inhibition of xanthine oxidase, another ROS generator, ...
    • Challenges in microbially and chelate-assisted phytoextraction of cadmium and lead – A review 

      Gul I., Manzoor M., Hashim N., Shah G.M., Waani S.P.T., Shahid M., Antoniadis V., Rinklebe J., Arshad M. (2021)

    • HIF-2α phosphorylation by CK1δ promotes erythropoietin secretion in liver cancer cells under hypoxia 

      Pangou E., Befani C., Mylonis I., Samiotaki M., Panayotou G., Simos G., Liakos P. (2016)
      Hypoxia inducible factor 2 (HIF-2) is a transcriptional activator implicated in the cellular response to hypoxia. Regulation of its inducible subunit, HIF-2α (also known as EPAS1), involves posttranslational modifications. ...
    • Novel HIF-2α interaction with Reptin52 impairs HIF-2 transcriptional activity and EPO secretion 

      Gkotinakou I.M., Befani C., Samiotaki M., Panayotou G., Liakos P. (2021)
      Hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF-2), is essential for cellular response to hypoxia and holds an important role in erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, tissue invasion and metastasis, thus, constituting an important therapeutic ...
