Insights into the genetic architecture of osteoarthritis from stage 1 of the arcOGEN study
(2011)
Objectives The genetic aetiology of osteoarthritis has not yet been elucidated. To enable a well-powered genome-wide association study (GWAS) for osteoarthritis, the authors have formed the arcOGEN Consortium, a UK-wide ...
hTERT regulation by NF-kappa B and c-myc in irradiated HER2-positive breast cancer cells
(2011)
Purpose: Telomerase activity (TA), frequently observed in cancer, compensates for telomere shortening thus preventing cell senescence and conferring resistance to therapy. In the present study, we investigated the expression ...
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 ...
The growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) core promoter polymorphism is not associated with knee osteoarthritis in the Greek population
(2008)
Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). A functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +104T/C; rs143383 in the 5' UTR of the GDF5 gene was recently associated ...
Association of interleukin-1A, interleukin-1B and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms with multiple myeloma
(2007)
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a cytokine involved in the maturation and proliferation of B cells and plays a significant role in the development of lytic bone lesions, a major clinical feature of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. ...
Meta-analyses of genes modulating intracellular T3 bio-availability reveal a possible role for the DIO3 gene in osteoarthritis susceptibility
(2011)
Objective To study whether common genetic variants of the genes involved in the complex regulatory mechanism determining the intracellular bio-availability of T3 influence osteoarthritis onset. Methods In total 17 genetic ...
Involvement of SOX-9 and FGF-23 in RUNX-2 regulation in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2009)
Chondrocytes' hypertrophy includes metabolic changes, matrix remodelling, proliferation and apoptosis, characteristics associated with the progression of osteoarthritis. We investigated a possible association among ...
Bone morphogenetic protein-2-induced Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway activation through enhanced low-density-lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 catabolic activity contributes to hypertrophy in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2012)
Introduction: Events normally taking place in the terminal chondrocyte differentiation in the growth plate are also observed during osteoarthritis (OA) development, suggesting that molecules, such as Wnts and bone morphogenetic ...
