Gilbert Syndrome as a Predisposing Factor for Cholelithiasis Risk in the Greek Adult Population
(2009)
We investigated the hypothesis that coinheritance of the common A(TA)(n)TAA promoter mutation at the UGT1A1 locus associated with Gilbert syndrome is a risk factor for gallstone formation in a homogeneous adult population, ...
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, ...
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 ...
Evaluation of MMP1 and MMP3 gene polymorphisms in exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma
(2009)
Purpose: To investigate possible genetic associations of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) and MMP3 gene polymorphisms with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) with (XFS/+G) and without (XFS/-G) glaucoma in a cohort of Greek patients. ...
Large replication study and meta-analyses of DVWA as an osteoarthritis susceptibility locus in European and Asian populations
(2009)
Recently, through a genome wide association study in Japanese knee osteoarthritis (OA) cases, a previously unknown gene, DVWA, was identified. The non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7639618 was subsequently ...
Correlation of promoter hypermethylation in hTERT, DAPK and MGMT genes with cervical oncogenesis progression
(2009)
DNA hypermethylation occurs during the multi-step process of cervical carcinogenesis. We investigated whether the methylation status in the promoter region of a potential oncogene, the human telomerase reverse transcriptase ...
Association of a nsSNP in ADAMTS14 to some osteoarthritis phenotypes
(2009)
Objective: To investigate the effect in OA (Osteoarthritis) susceptibility of putative damaging changes in ADAM (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease) and ADAMTS (ADAM with ThromboSpondin motif proteases. Methods: Non-synonymous ...
Epigenetic regulation of hTERT promoter in hepatocellular carcinomas
(2009)
Although hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide, the molecular pathogenesis of the disease has not been elucidated. Several studies have shown that telomerase activity and hTERT expression ...
Large-Scale Analysis of Association Between GDF5 and FRZB Variants and Osteoarthritis of the Hip, Knee, and Hand
(2009)
Objective. GDF5 and FRZB have been proposed as genetic loci conferring susceptibility to osteoarthritis (OA); however, the results of several studies investigating the association of OA with the rs143383 polymorphism of ...
