Anosmic flies: what Orco silencing does to olive fruit flies
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is the most destructive pest of the olive cultivation worldwide causing significant production losses and olive fruit impoverishment, as its larvae feed exclusively on the ... -
AtHESPERIN: A novel regulator of circadian rhythms with poly(A)-degrading activity in plants
(2016)We report the identification and characterization of a novel gene, AtHesperin (AtHESP) that codes for a deadenylase in Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene is under circadian clock-gene regulation and has similarity to the ... -
Decoding the reproductive system of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
(2021)In most diploid organisms, mating is a prerequisite for reproduction and, thus, critical to the maintenance of their population and the perpetuation of the species. Besides the importance of understanding the fundamentals ... -
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) induces resistance to bortezomib in human multiple myeloma cells via a pathway involving the ETB receptor and upregulation of proteasomal activity
(2016)Purpose: Bortezomib (BTZ) is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). However, a significant proportion of patients may be refractory to the drug. This study aimed to investigate whether the endothelin (ET-1) axis ... -
Enhancer of rudimentary homologue interacts with scaffold attachment factor B at the nuclear matrix to regulate SR protein phosphorylation
(2017)Scaffold attachment factor B1 (SAFB1) is an integral component of the nuclear matrix of vertebrate cells. It binds to DNA on scaffold/matrix attachment region elements, as well as to RNA and a multitude of different proteins, ... -
ERK signaling controls productive HIF-1 binding to chromatin and cancer cell adaptation to hypoxia through HIF-1α interaction with NPM1
(2021)The hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1 is essential for oxygen homeostasis. Despite its well-understood oxygen-dependent expression, regulation of its transcriptional activity remains unclear. We show that phosphorylation by ... -
FV vectors as alternative gene vehicles for gene transfer in HSCs
(2020)Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) are a unique population of cells, capable of reconstituting the blood system of an organism through orchestrated self-renewal and differentiation. They play a pivotal role in stem cell ... -
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. ... -
Human coronaviruses in idiopathic Parkinson's disease: Implications of SARS-CoV-2's modulation of the host's transcriptome
(2021)Objective: A recent study on the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the host's transcriptome indicated the perturbation of several pathways associated with neurodegeneration, including but not limited to Parkinson's and ... -
Maleness-on-the-Y (MoY) orchestrates male sex determination in major agricultural fruit fly pests
(2019)In insects, rapidly evolving primary sex-determining signals are transduced by a conserved regulatory module controlling sexual differentiation. In the agricultural pest Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly, or ... -
Molecular Aspects of Renal Immunology: Current Status and Future Perspectives

mTORC2 deploys the mRNA binding protein IGF2BP1 to regulate c-MYC expression and promote cell survival
(2021)mTORC2 promotes cell survival by phosphorylating AKT and enhancing its activity. Inactivation of mTORC2 reduces viability through down-regulation of E2F1 caused by up-regulation of c-MYC. An additional target of mTORC2 is ... -
Non-coding RNAs in cancer-associated cachexia: clinical implications and future perspectives
(2021)Cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by skeletal muscle loss, with or without adipose atrophy, irreversible through nutritional support, in the context of systemic inflammation and metabolic disorders. It ... -
Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease and Nocturnin in squamous cell lung cancer: Prognostic value and impact on gene expression
(2015)Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, mainly due to late diagnosis, poor prognosis and tumor heterogeneity. Thus, the need for biomarkers that will aid classification, treatment and ... -
Protein phosphatase PPP3CA (calcineurin A) down-regulates hypoxia-inducible factor transcriptional activity
(2019)Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) are master regulators of the response to hypoxia. Although several kinases are known to modify their oxygen sensitive HIF-α subunits or affect indirectly their function, little is known about ... -
SARS-CoV-2 dysregulation of PTBP1 and YWHAE/Z gene expression: A primer of neurodegeneration
(2020)SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism has been increasingly recognized by its imaging and syndromic manifestations in the literature. The purpose of this report is to explore the limited yet salient current evidence that SARS-CoV-2′s ... -
Silencing of caveolin-1 in fibroblasts as opposed to epithelial tumor cells results in increased tumor growth rate and chemoresistance in a human pancreatic cancer model
(2019)Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) expression has been shown to be associated with tumor growth and resistance to chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer. The primary aim of this study was to explore the significance of Cav-1 expression in ... -
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 ...
