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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
New Sequence Variants in HLA Class II/III Region Associated with Susceptibility to Knee Osteoarthritis Identified by Genome-Wide Association Study
(2010)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease that has a definite genetic component. Only a few OA susceptibility genes that have definite functional evidence and replication of association have been reported, however. Through ...
