Acquisition of optimal TFH cell function is defined by specific molecular, positional, and TCR dynamic signatures
(2021)The development of follicular helper CD4 T (TFH) cells is a dynamic process resulting in a heterogenous pool of TFH subsets. However, the cellular and molecular determinants of this heterogeneity and the possible mechanistic ... -
Chorionic villi derived mesenchymal like stem cells and expression of embryonic stem cells markers during long-term culturing
(2016)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from a variety of human tissues. MSCs derived from placental chorionic villi of the first trimester are likely to resemble, biologically, embryonic stem cells (ESC), due to the ... -
Diagnostic performance of quantitative diffusion tensor imaging for the differentiation of breast lesions at 3 T MRI
(2019)Background: Conventional breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including dynamic contrast-enhanced MR mammography, may lead to ambiguous diagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. Purpose: To investigate the contribution of ... -
Dichloroacetate at therapeutic concentration alters glucose metabolism and induces regulatory t-cell differentiation in alloreactive human lymphocytes
(2013)Background: Most cancer cells rely on aerobic glycolysis. Dichloroacetate (DCA) inhibits aerobic glycolysis and is a promising relatively nontoxic anticancer compound. However, rapidly proliferating effector T-cells also ... -
Differential effects of the two amino acid sensing systems, the GCN2 kinase and the mTOR complex 1, on primary human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Amino acid deprivation activates general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), affecting the immune response. In this study, the effects of GCN2 kinase activation or ... -
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. ... -
Myxoid liposarcoma with cartilaginous differentiation: A case study with fish analysis and review of the literature
(2013)Cartilaginous differentiation is rarely encountered in myxoid liposarcomas. To date, a small number of such cases have been described, and molecular or cytogenetic analysis was performed only in few of them. In the present ... -
Natural histogel-based bio-scaffolds for sustaining angiogenesis in beige adipose tissue
(2019)In the treatment of obesity and its related disorders, one of the measures adopted is weight reduction by controlling nutrition and increasing physical activity. A valid alternative to restore the physiological function ... -
Neural Differentiation of Human Dental Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induced by ATRA and UDP-4: A Comparative Study
(2022)Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent stem cells, which are isolated from various sources. Currently, there is a worldwide interest for dental MSC to be used against neurodegenerative diseases, since they ... -
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation promotes development in mice of mature human muscle from immortalized human myoblasts
(2016)Background: Studies of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying human myopathies and muscular dystrophies often require animal models, but models of some human diseases are not yet available. Methods to promote the engraftment ... -
Proliferative and chondrogenic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells from pluripotent and bone marrow cells
(2020)Summary. Introduction. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can be derived from a wide range of fetal and adult sources including pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). The properties of PSC-derived MSCs need to be fully characterized, ... -
Quercetin accumulates in nuclear structures and triggers specific gene expression in epithelial cells
(2012)Quercetin is a flavonol modifying a number of cell processes in different cell lines. Here, we present evidence that nonconjugated quercetin enters cells possibly via organic anion transporter polypeptides and quickly ... -
Role of VEGFs in metabolic disorders
(2020)Obesity and metabolic disorders are important public health problems. In this review, the role of vasculature network and VEGF in the adipose tissue maintenance and supplementation is discussed. Angiogenesis is a key process ... -
Syndecan-1, epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers (E-cadherin/β-catenin) and neoangiogenesis-related proteins (PCAM-1 and Endoglin) in colorectal cancer
(2016)The Syndecan-1 protein plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, cell adhesion, cell migration and angiogenesis and, at the same time, its co-expression with E-cadherin is regulated during epithelial-mesenchymal transition ... -
The transcription factor BCL-6 controls early development of innate-like T cells
(2020)Innate T cells, including invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated innate T (MAIT) cells, are a heterogeneous T lymphocyte population with effector properties preprogrammed during their thymic differentiation. ... -
Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Immune Markers Related to Visceral Leishmaniasis Establishment in the Experimental Model of BALB/c Mice
(2019)Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania donovani and L. infantum is a potentially fatal disease. To date there are no registered vaccines for disease prevention despite the fact that several vaccines are in ...
