• Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients? 

      Eleftheriadis, T.; Kartsios, C.; Liakopoulos, V.; Antoniadi, G.; Ditsa, M.; Papadopoulos, C.; Anifandis, G.; Skirta, A.; Markala, D.; Stefanidis, I. (2006)
      Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ...
    • Molecular analysis of transferrin receptor mRNA expression in acute myeloid leukaemia 

      Kollia, P.; Stavroyianni, N.; Stamatopoulos, K.; Zoi, K.; Viniou, N.; Mantzourani, M.; Noguchi, C. T.; Paterakis, G.; Abazis, D.; Pangalos, C.; Loukopoulos, D.; Yataganas, X. (2001)
      Transferrin receptor (TfR, CD71) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that mediates cellular uptake of iron. In most tissues, TfR expression is correlated positively with proliferation and regulated at the post-transcriptional ...
    • Molecular evidence for transferrin receptor 2 expression in all FAB subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia 

      Kollia, P.; Samara, M.; Stamatopoulos, K.; Belessi, C.; Stavroyianni, N.; Tsompanakou, A.; Athanasiadou, A.; Vainvakopoulos, N.; Laoutaris, N.; Anagnostopoulos, A.; Fassas, A. (2003)
      We examined transferrin receptor (TfR) 1 and TfR2 mRNA expression in 50 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients by RT-PCR, with primers specific for exons 15-17 (TfR1), 3-5 (TfR2-alpha) and 4-5 (TfR2-beta) of the corresponding ...
    • Predominantly post-transcriptional regulation of activation molecules in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: The case of transferrin receptors 

      Chiotoglou, I.; Smilevska, T.; Samara, M.; Likousi, S.; Belessi, C.; Athanasiadou, I.; Stavroyianni, N.; Samara, S.; Laoutaris, N.; Vamvakopoulos, N.; Anagnostopoulos, A.; Fassas, A.; Stamatopoulos, K.; Kollia, P. (2008)
      Transcriptional and post-transcriptional control mechanisms have a differential impact on cellular physiology depending on activation status. Several lines of evidence suggest that chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) malignant ...
