(2-Heremans-schmid glycoprotein (fetuin A) downregulation and its utility in inflammatory bowel disease
(2017)AIM: To investigate the impact of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on α2-Heremans-Schmid Glycoprotein (AHSG/fetuin A) and potential associations with disease and patient characteristics. METHODS: AHSG serum levels were ... -
Adrenocorticotropic hormone: an effective “natural” biologic therapy for acute gout?
(2020)Treatment of acute gout consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine and steroids. However, the typical patient with gout has multiple comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, ... -
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 ... -
Biostimulants application: A low input cropping management tool for sustainable farming of vegetables
(2021)Biostimulants, are a diverse class of compounds including substances or microorganism which have positive impacts on plant growth, yield and chemical composition as well as boosting effects to biotic and abiotic stress ... -
Calcitriol Suppresses HIF-1 and HIF-2 Transcriptional Activity by Reducing HIF-1/2α Protein Levels via a VDR-Independent Mechanism
(2020)Hypoxia-inducible transcription factors 1 and 2 (HIFs) are major mediators of cancer development and progression and validated targets for cancer therapy. Although calcitriol, the biologically active metabolite of vitamin ... -
Cell-specific and roasting-dependent regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway by coffee extracts
(2018)Coffee is a popular beverage that contains various bioactive compounds. However, its molecular mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. In this context, two previously characterized coffee extracts, a lightly roasted ... -
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 ... -
DNA damage and differential gene expression associated with physical stress in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(2016)Fish stress may result in inhibition of reproduction, development and growth. Thus, appropriate indices should be developed to accurately define the physiological plasticity of fish, in terms of coping with stress. Sea ... -
DNA methylation regulates miR-140-5p and miR-146a expression in osteoarthritis
(2019)Aims: Previous studies have demonstrated that transcriptional silencing of miRNAs due to DNA hypermethylation is associated with different pathologies. It has also been reported that abnormal expression of miR-140-5p and ... -
Downregulation of PERK activity and eIF2α serine 51 phosphorylation by mTOR complex 1 elicits pro-oxidant and pro-death effects in tuberous sclerosis-deficient cells article
(2018)Oxidative stress determines cell fate through several mechanisms, among which regulation of mRNA translation by the phosphorylation of the alpha (α) subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2α at serine 51 (eIF2αP) ... -
Downregulation of serum epidermal growth factor in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Is there a link with mucosal damage?
(2010)Background: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a multipotent peptide which contributes to epithelial development, inhibition of gastric acid secretion, acceleration of wound healing, and promotion of angiogenesis. The aim ... -
Dysregulation of caveolin-1 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation is associated with senescence onset
(2021)We recently reported that the inability of osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes to repair oxidative stress (OS) induced DNA damage is linked to Cav-1 overexpression/improper localization. We speculated that the senescent status ... -
Enhanced expression of miR-21 and miR-150 is a feature of anti-mitochondrial antibody-negative primary biliary cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Anti-mitochondrial-autoantibodies (AMA) remain a hallmark of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) however approximately 10% of patients test negative for these antibodies. They do not differ in terms of ... -
Gene Expression Meta-Analysis of Potential Shared and Unique Pathways between Autoimmune Diseases under Anti-TNFα Therapy
(2022)While anti-TNFα has been established as an effective therapeutic approach for several autoimmune diseases, results from clinical trials have uncovered heterogeneous patients’ response to therapy. Here, we conducted a ... -
Impact of Interleukin 10 Deficiency on Intestinal Epithelium Responses to Inflammatory Signals
(2021)Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic, anti-inflammatory cytokine that has a major protective role in the intestine. Although its production by cells of the innate and adaptive immune system has been extensively studied, ... -
In silico transcriptomic analysis of the chloride intracellular channels (Clic) interactome identifies a molecular panel of seven prognostic markers in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(2020)Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor prognosis. In this context, the identification of biomarkers regarding the PDAC diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis is crucial. Objectives: The ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase depletes tryptophan, activates general control non-derepressible 2 kinase and down-regulates key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis in primary human CD4+ T cells
(2015)Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed in antigen-presenting cells and exerts immunosuppressive effects on CD4+ T cells. One mechanism is through the inhibition of aerobic glycolysis. Another prerequisite for T-cell ... -
