The involvement of HER2 and p53 status in the regulation of telomerase in irradiated breast cancer cells
(2009)
Cancer cell characteristics may play a pivotal role in the response to therapy by activating or deactivating different molecular pathways. In the present study, we investigated the implication of breast cancer cell features, ...
Survivin regulation by HER2 through NF-kappa B and c-myc in irradiated breast cancer cells
(2011)
Radiotherapy is an important treatment modality against cancer resulting in apoptosis and inhibition of cell growth. Survivin is an important cancer biomarker conferring to tumour cells increased survival potential by ...
Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 5 (LRP5) Expression in Human Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes
(2010)
The aim of this study was to investigate the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in osteoarthritis and the role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. The ...
Lack of association between the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene polymorphism and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in Caucasian men
(2013)
Glucuronidation, mediated by the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) enzyme, is an important metabolic process during which steroids are converted to more easily excreted compounds in steroid target tissues, such as ...
DNA methylation regulates sclerostin (SOST) expression in osteoarthritic chondrocytes by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) induced changes in Smads binding affinity to the CpG region of SOST promoter
(2015)
Introduction: Sclerostin (SOST), a soluble antagonist of Wnt signaling, is expressed in chondrocytes and contributes to chondrocytes' hypertrophic differentiation; however its role in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis is ...
Quantitative determination of human telomerase reverse transcriptase messenger RNA expression in prematignant cervical lesions and correlation with human papittomavirus load
(2006)
Expression Of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) messenger RNA (mRNA) and human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 load were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction and correlated with cytological findings ...
DNA methylation is not likely to be responsible for hTERT expression in premalignant cervical lesions
(2007)
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) MRNA expression seems to play an important role in cervical carcinogenesis. Analysis of the hTERT promoter region revealed the presence of a CpG island and a high overall GC ...
Central Role of SREBP-2 in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis
(2012)
Background: Recent studies have implied that osteoarthritis (OA) is a metabolic disease linked to deregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism and cholesterol efflux. Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Proteins (SREBPs) ...
UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism as a predisposing factor of hyperbilirubinaemia in neonates with acute pyelonephritis
(2006)
We describe 4 jaundiced neonates with acute pyelonephritis of whom family history was positive for or pointed to Gilbert's syndrome (GS). Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT-1A1), ( TA) 7 polymorphism, ...
Association of a BMP5 microsatellite with knee osteoarthritis: case-control study
(2012)
Introduction: We aimed to explore the involvement of a multiallelic functional polymorphism in knee osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility as a prototype of possible genetic factors escaping GWAS detection. Methods: OA patients ...
