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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Functional characterization and anti-cancer action of the clinical phase II cardiac Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitor istaroxime: In vitro and in vivo properties and cross talk with the membrane androgen receptor
(2016)Sodium potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) is a validated pharmacological target for the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Recent published data with Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitors suggest a potent anti-cancer action of these ... -
Glucose Derivative Induced Vasculopathy in Children on Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis
(2021)RATIONALE: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an exceedingly high cardiovascular risk; which further increases in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). The pathophysiological role of reactive metabolites ... -
Humoral response in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis targets neural precursor cells in the central nervous system of naive rodents
(2017)Background: Neural precursor cells (NPCs) located in the subventricular zone (SVZ), a well-defined NPC niche, play a crucial role in central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. Moreover, NPCs are involved in the endogenous ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Investigating Molecular Determinants of Cancer Cell Resistance to Ionizing Radiation Through an Integrative Bioinformatics Approach
(2021)Eradication of cancer cells through exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation (IR) is a widely used therapeutic strategy in the clinical setting. However, in many cases, cancer cells can develop remarkable resistance ... -
The labdane diterpene sclareol (labd-14-ene-8, 13-diol) induces apoptosis in human tumor cell lines and suppression of tumor growth in vivo via a p53-independent mechanism of action
(2011)The labdane diterpene sclareol has demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines and human colon cancer xenografts. Therefore, there is need to elucidate the mode of action of this compound as very ... -
Malate dehydrogenase-2 inhibitor LW6 promotes metabolic adaptations and reduces proliferation and apoptosis in activated human T-cells
(2015)Activated T cells rely on aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis in order to proliferate and differentiate into effector cells. Therefore, intervention in these metabolic pathways inhibits proliferation. The aim of the ... -
Mistimed h2s upregulation, nrf2 activation and antioxidant proteins levels in renal tubular epithelial cells subjected to anoxia and reoxygenation
(2020)Ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury is involved in the pathogenesis of several human diseases. In the present study, the kinetics of the H2S producing enzymes-nuclear factor eryt hroid 2-like 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant proteins ... -
Molecular changes indicative of cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis development in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury Pathophysiology of musculoskeletal disorders
(2016)Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is considered a risk factor for osteoarthritis development. The purpose of our study was to investigate the expression levels of the apoptotic enzyme caspase 3, pro-inflammatory ... -
A neuroprotective bovine colostrum attenuates apoptosis in dexamethasone‐treated mc3t3‐e1 osteoblastic cells
(2021)Glucocorticoid‐induced osteoporosis (GIO) is one of the most common secondary forms of osteoporosis. GIO is partially due to the apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteocytes. In addition, high doses of dexamethasone (DEX), a ... -
P38 MAPK signaling in pemphigus: Implications for skin autoimmunity
(2013)p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling plays a major role in the modulation of immune-mediated inflammatory responses and therefore has been linked with several autoimmune diseases. The extent of the ... -
Potential dissociative glucocorticoid receptor activity for protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol
