Autonomous motivation to reduce sedentary behaviour is associated with less sedentary time and improved health outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis: a longitudinal study
(2022)Background: This longitudinal study investigated whether changes in autonomous and controlled motivation to reduce sedentary behaviour were associated with variability in sedentary, standing and stepping time and, in turn, ... -
Brattleboro rats have impaired apical membrane water permeability regulation in the outer medullary collecting duct principal cells
(2016)Vasopressin (AVP) regulates the body salt-water balance. Brattleboro rats carry an AVP gene mutation resulting in a recessive form of central diabetes insipidus, being ideal for AVP deficiency studies. Herein, we studied ... -
Characterizing miRNA–lncRNA Interplay
(2021)Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are noncoding transcripts, usually longer than 200 nt, that constitute one of the largest and significantly heterogeneous RNA families. The annotation of lncRNAs and the characterization of ... -
Crosstalk mechanisms between the WNT signaling pathway and long non-coding RNAs
(2018)The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway controls a plethora of biological processes throughout animal development and adult life. Because of its fundamental role during animal lifespan, the WNT pathway is subject to strict ... -
Efforts to create an artificial testis: Culture systems of male germ cells under biochemical conditions resembling the seminiferous tubular biochemical environment
(2005)Induction of meiotic and post-meiotic alterations of male germ cells in vitro has been the target of several research efforts since 1960. However, to date, the establishment of an ideal culture system in which spermatogonial ... -
ERK1/2 phosphorylates HIF-2α and regulates its activity by controlling its CRM1-dependent nuclear shuttling
(2019)Hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF-2) is a principal component of the cellular response to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia). Its inducible subunit, HIF-2α (also known as EPAS1), is controlled by oxygen-dependent as well as ... -
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, ... -
Functional Requirements for DjlA- and RraA-Mediated Enhancement of Recombinant Membrane Protein Production in the Engineered Escherichia coli Strains SuptoxD and SuptoxR
(2017)In previous work, we have generated the engineered Escherichia coli strains SuptoxD and SuptoxR, which upon co-expression of the effector genes djlA or rraA, respectively, are capable of suppressing the cytotoxicity caused ... -
HIF-2α phosphorylation by CK1δ promotes erythropoietin secretion in liver cancer cells under hypoxia
(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. ... -
IL-1 cytokines in cardiovascular disease: Diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic implications
(2008)Interleukins (ILs) are key mediators in the chronic vascular inflammatory response underlying several aspects of cardiovascular disease. Due to their powerful pro-inflammatory potential, and the fact that they are highly ... -
Inhibition of the Na-H + exchanger isoform-1 and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase induces apoptosis: A time course of events
(2006)Aims: The present study attempts to shed light on the role and the relative position of the Na +/H + exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in HEp-2 cell signaling pathways concerning ... -
Leptin in pregnancy
(2002)Leptin is a 16-kDa polypeptide, encoded in humans by the LEP gene. This protein is probably involved in the regulation of ovarian function, oocyte maturation and embryo development, and in the implantation process. During ... -

Proteomic analysis of the mitochondrial glucocorticoid receptor interacting proteins reveals pyruvate dehydrogenase and mitochondrial 60 kDa heat shock protein as potent binding partners
(2022)Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that regulate plethora biological actions such as growth and metabolism, immune response, and apoptosis. Glucocorticoids actions are mediated via glucocorticoid receptors which act ... -
The redox-dependent regulation of satellite cells following aseptic muscle trauma (SpEED): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2019)Background: Muscle satellite cells (SCs) are crucial for muscle regeneration following muscle trauma. Acute skeletal muscle damage results in inflammation and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which may be ... -
Relationship of Effective Circulating Volume with Sublingual Red Blood Cell Velocity and Microvessel Pressure Difference: A Clinical Investigation and Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling
(2022)The characteristics of physiologic hemodynamic coherence are not well-investigated. We examined the physiological relationship between circulating blood volume, sublingual microcirculatory perfusion, and tissue oxygenation ... -
Transcription of the NKG2D ligand MICA is suppressed by the IRE1/XBP1 pathway of the unfolded protein response through the regulation of E2F1
(2019)The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive signaling pathway activated in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The effectors of the UPR are potent transcription activators; however, some genes are suppressed ...
