Aberrant methylation of c-myc and c-fos protooncogenes and p53 tumor suppressor gene in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia
(2003)Purpose: Aberrant methylation, as an epigenetic phenomenon, may precede and regulate the expression of genes involved in transformation mechanisms that lead to leukemogenesis of hemopoietic cells. The genes involved mostly ... -
Activation of FADD-Dependent neuronal death pathways as a predictor of pathogenicity for LRRK2 mutations
(2016)Background Despite the plethora of sequence variants in LRRK2, only a few clearly segregate with PD. Even within this group of pathogenic mutations, the phenotypic profile can differ widely. Objective We examined multiple ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
Alterations of microRNAs in solid cancers and their prognostic value
(2010)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved, naturally abundant, small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that inhibit gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in a sequence-specific manner. Each miRNA represses the ... -
Angiogenin is upregulated during the alloreactive immune response and has no effect on the T-cell expansion phase, whereas it affects the contraction phase by inhibiting CD4+ T-cell apoptosis
(2016)Under growth conditions, angiogenin is translocated into the nucleus, where it enhances ribosomal RNA transcription, facilitating increased protein synthesis and cellular proliferation. During stress conditions, angiogenin ... -
Answer to controversy: miR-10a replacement approaches do not offer protection against chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity in mouse model
(2019)It is well known that chemotherapeutic agents may lead to premature ovarian failure and infertility. Therefore, fertility preservation is highly recommended for female cancer survivors. Despite the currently available ... -
Anti-angiogenic effect of a Palladium(II)-Saccharinate Complex of Terpyridine in vitro and in vivo
(2017)Anti-angiogenic activity of palladium (Pd)(II)-based complexes is unknown despite their quite powerful anticancer activity. This study was therefore carried out to evaluate both in vivo anti-angiogenic effect and in vitro ... -
Anti-apoptotic and antioxidant activities of the mitochondrial estrogen receptor beta in n2a neuroblastoma cells
(2021)Estrogens are steroid hormones that play a crucial role in the regulation of the reproductive and non-reproductive system physiology. Among non-reproductive systems, the nervous system is mainly affected by estrogens due ... -
Anti-invasive effects of CXCR4 and FAK inhibitors in non-small cell lung carcinomas with mutually inactivated p53 and PTEN tumor suppressors
(2017)Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. At the time of diagnosis, a large percentage of NSCLC patients have already developed metastasis, responsible for extremely high mortality rates. ... -
Anticancer and apoptosis-inducing effects of quercetin in vitro and in vivo
(2017)The present study focused on the elucidation of the putative anticancer potential of quercetin. The anticancer activity of quercetin at 10, 20, 40, 80 and 120 μM was assessed in vitro by MMT assay in 9 tumor cell lines ... -
Association of allelic loss at the FHIT locus and p53 alterations with tumour kinetics and chromosomal instability in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs)
(2001)The FHIT gene, located at the FRA3B fragile site of chromosome 3p14.2, encodes a 16.8 kD homologue of the yeast enzyme diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A) hydrolase, Frequent allelic losses at this region in various ... -
Azithromycin reduces the viability of human bronchial smooth muscle cells
(2010)The macrolide antibiotic azithromycin has an antiproliferative and autophagic effect on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of azithromycin on human bronchial ... -
BAFF receptor polymorphisms and deficiency in humans
(2021)The BAFF-receptor (BAFFR) is a member of the TNF-receptor family. It is expressed only by B cells and binds BAFF as single ligand, which activates key signaling pathways regulating essential cellular functions, including ... -
Benomyl, a benzimidazole fungicide, induces oxidative stress and apoptosis in neural cells
(2020)Fungicides are used in the agricultural sector against the harmful action of fungi, however they are potential toxic agents for the environment and the living organisms. Benomyl is a widely encountered benzimidazole fungicide ... -
Boswellic acids and their derivatives as potent regulators of glucocorticoid receptor actions
(2020)Glucocorticoid (GCs) hormones exert their actions via their cognate steroid receptors the Glucocorticoid Receptors (GR), by genomic or non-genomic mechanisms of actions. GCs regulate many cellular functions among them ... -
CDK-inhibitor olomoucine inhibits cell death after exposure of cell lines to cytosine-arabinoside
(1999)Signal transduction for apoptosis or programmed cell death, after DNA damage in mammalian cells, is believed to involve activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), especially CDK-1 (cdc2) and CDK-2. We used CDK-inhibitor ... -
Chimeric stimuli-responsive liposomes as nanocarriers for the delivery of the anti-glioma agent TRAM-34
(2021)Nanocarriers are delivery platforms of drugs, peptides, nucleic acids and other therapeutic molecules that are indicated for severe human diseases. Gliomas are the most frequent type of brain tumor, with glioblastoma being ... -
