VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
Insulin NO-dependent action on airways smooth muscles
(2001)
In order to find out how insulin acts on airway smooth muscle and which mechanisms could be involved, we studied the effect of insulin on contraction induced, first, by KCI and, second, by Acetylcholine (Ach), before and ...
SAFB1 interacts with and suppresses the transcriptional activity of p53
(2011)
A significant amount of nuclear p53 is found associated with the nuclear matrix in cells that were exposed to genotoxic stress. In this study we identified Scaffold attachment factor B1 (SAFB1), a nuclear matrix-associated ...
Characterization of novel intergenogroup and intergenotype recombinant noroviruses from central Greece
(2014)
Noroviruses (NoVs) are a major causative agent of acute gastroenteritis in humans. They are members of the Caliciviridae family and based on the genetic analysis of the RdRp and capsid regions, human NoVs are divided into ...
Interleukin-6 and matrix metalloproteinase expression in the subretinal fluid during proliferative vitreoretinopathy: Correlation with extent, duration of RRD and PVR grade
(2012)
Purpose: To investigate interleukin (IL)-6 protein levels in the subretinal fluid (SRF) of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR); to correlate the IL-6 ...
Comparison of interleukin-6 and matrix metalloproteinase expression in the subretinal fluid and the vitreous during proliferative vitreoretinopathy: Correlations with extent, duration of RRD and PVR grade
(2014)
Introduction: The full extent of IL-6 involvement in PVR pathophysiology has not yet been comprehensively investigated. The aim of this study was the comparison of the IL-6 effect on MMP expression between SRF and the ...
Interleukin-6 and the matrix metalloproteinase response in the vitreous during proliferative vitreoretinopathy
(2011)
Purpose: To investigate the levels of IL-6 in the vitreous of patients with RRD complicated with PVR and correlate the IL-6 levels with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1,-2,-3,-8,-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases ...
Direct extraction and molecular characterization of enteroviruses genomes from human faecal samples
(2008)
Routine diagnosis of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is still based on classical virological procedures. Several enteroviruses serotypes are not easily isolated in cell cultures system used and routinely more than one passage ...
Cobalt stimulates HIF-1-dependent but inhibits HIF-2-dependent gene expression in liver cancer cells
(2013)
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcriptional regulators that mediate the cellular response to low oxygen. Although HIF-1 is usually considered as the principal mediator of hypoxic adaptation, several tissues and ...
A comparative amplification of five different genomic regions on Coxsackie A and B viruses. Implications in clinical diagnostics
(2005)
Modern molecular approaches in Human Enterovirus detection rely on the designing of generic and often degenerate primers in order to amplify specific sequences within the enterovirus genome. In the present study a comparative ...
