Age-Related Responses in Circulating Markers of Redox Status in Healthy Adolescents and Adults during the Course of a Training Macrocycle
(2015)Redox status changes during an annual training cycle in young and adult track and field athletes and possible differences between the two age groups were assessed. Forty-six individuals (24 children and 22 adults) were ... -
Airway responsiveness: role of inflammation, epithelium damage and smooth muscle tension
(1999)THE purpose of this study was the effect of epithelium damage on mechanical responses of airway smooth muscles under different resting tension. We performed acetylcholine (ACh) (10(-5) M)-induced contraction on tracheal ... -
Amplification of Echoviruses genomic regions by different RT-PCR protocols - a comparative study
(2004)In the present report, the results of a comparative study in the detection of all Echoviruses reference strains as well as of 38 clinical isolates are presented. Using RT-PCR with already published primer pairs (UG(52)-UC53, ... -
Angiopoietin-2 associations with the underlying infection and sepsis severity
(2015)Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an important mediator in sepsis. We have previously shown that endotoxemia levels are related to the underlying infection and affect septic patients' outcome. Based on this background we now ... -
Anopheles gambiae odorant binding protein crystal complex with the synthetic repellent DEET: implications for structure-based design of novel mosquito repellents
(2012)Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are the first components of the olfactory system to encounter and bind attractant and repellent odors emanating from various sources for presentation to olfactory receptors, which ... -
The Antioxidant Effects of a Polyphenol-Rich Grape Pomace Extract In Vitro Do Not Correspond In Vivo Using Exercise as an Oxidant Stimulus
(2012)Fruits, such as grapes, are essential food of the Mediterranean diet. Grape extracts have potent antioxidant and chemopreventive properties in vitro. Numerous studies have examined the effects of plant extract administration ... -
Assessment of Eccentric Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress Using Oxidation-Reduction Potential Markers
(2015)The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of static (sORP) and capacity ORP (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential markers as measured by the RedoxSYS Diagnostic System in plasma, for assessing eccentric ... -
Association Between the Interleukin-1 beta Gene (IL1B) C-511T Polymorphism and the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: A Candidate-Gene Association Study
(2014)Variants of the interleukin-1 beta gene (IL1B) are implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present candidate-gene association study was conducted to investigate the association between the IL1B ... -
Aurora B kinase in Hodgkin lymphoma: immunohistochemical pattern of expression in neoplastic Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells
(2014)Aurora B is a member of the chromosomal passenger complex, which is essential for proper completion of mitosis and cell division (cytokinesis). Inappropriate chromosomal segregation and cytokinesis due to deregulated ... -
beta 4 Integrin Marks Interstitial Myogenic Progenitor Cells in Adult Murine Skeletal Muscle
(2012)Skeletal muscle growth and its regeneration following injury rely on myogenic progenitor cells, a heterogeneous population that includes the satellite cells and other interstitial progenitors. The present study demonstrates ... -
Biogenesis of the signal recognition particle (SRP) involves import of SRP proteins into the nucleolus, assembly with the SRP-RNA, and Xpo1p-mediated export
(2001)The signal recognition particle (SRP) targets nascent secretory proteins to the ER, but how and where the SRP assembles is largely unknown. Here we analyze the biogenesis of yeast SRP, which consists of an RNA molecule ... -
The Bmi-1/NF-kappa B/VEGF story: another hint for proteasome involvement in glioma angiogenesis?
(2013)Angiogenesis is an essential process for sustaining tumor growth, particularly in cancer cell types with rapid proliferation, including malignant glioma. Bmi-1 is a transcriptional regulator of the polycomb group involved ... -
Bortezomib Downregulates MGMT Expression in T98G Glioblastoma Cells
(2013)The efficacy of treatment for glioblastoma multiforme is currently limited by the development of resistance, particularly, but not exclusively, due to the expression of the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase ... -
Building arks for tRNA: Structure and function of the Arc1p family of non-catalytic tRNA-binding proteins
(2010)Following the intricate architecture of the eukaryotic cell, protein synthesis involves formation of many macromolecular assemblies, some of which are composed by tRNA-aminoacylation enzymes. Protein-protein and protein-tRNA ... -
Casein kinase 1 regulates human hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1
(2010)Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), a transcriptional activator that mediates cellular response to hypoxia and a promising target of anticancer therapy, is essential for adaptation to low oxygen conditions, embryogenesis ... -
Changing pattern of cytokeratin 7 and 20 expression from normal epithelium to intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa and gastroesophageal junction
(2002)It is currently unclear whether intestinal metaplasia at the esophagogastric junction and in the distal esophagus represent a continuum of the same underlying disease process, i.e., gastroesophageal reflux, or constitute ... -
Characterization of novel intergenogroup and intergenotype recombinant noroviruses from central Greece
(2014)Noroviruses (NoVs) are a major causative agent of acute gastroenteritis in humans. They are members of the Caliciviridae family and based on the genetic analysis of the RdRp and capsid regions, human NoVs are divided into ... -
CK1 delta restrains lipin-1 induction, lipid droplet formation and cell proliferation under hypoxia by reducing HIF-1 alpha/ARNT complex formation
(2015)Proliferation of cells under hypoxia is facilitated by metabolic adaptation, mediated by the transcriptional activator Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 alpha, the inducible subunit of HIF-1 is regulated by oxygen ... -
Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in airway smooth muscle cells by a reactive oxygen species- and PI3K-dependent mechanism
(2004)Cobalt can mimic hypoxia and has been implicated as a cause of lung defects. However, the effect of cobalt on airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells has not been analyzed in detail. In this article, we use primary cultures of ...
