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 ...
Leptin receptor isoforms mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with chronic viral hepatitis
(2006)
There is accumulating evidence that leptin has a pleiotropic role in hematopoiesis, immune response, fibrogenesis, and hepatocarcinogenesis. We investigated the expression of leptin and leptin receptor (OB-R) at the protein ...
Genetic Polymorphisms in the UGT1A1 gene and breast cancer risk in Greek women
(2007)
Uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (UGT1A1) is involved in estradiol glucuronidation, which may play a central role in the etiology of breast cancer. A common insertion/ deletion polymorphism in the TATAA-box of ...
The role of human telomerase catalytic subunit mRNA expression in cervical dysplasias
(2005)
Telomerase activity and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression were investigated in cervical specimens and were correlated with cytologic findings and the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV) ...
Association of the CALM1 core promoter polymorphism with knee osteoarthritis in patients of Greek origin
(2008)
Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by focal areas of loss of articular cartilage in synovial joints, associated with varying degrees of osteophyte formation, subchondral bone change, and synovitis. The Calmodulin ...
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 ...
