(2007)Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ... -
Early systemic sclerosis-opportunities for treatment
Sakkas, L. I.; Simopoulou, T.; Katsiari, C.; Bogdanos, D.; Chikanza, I. C. (2015)Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by microvasculopathy (Raynaud's phenomenon and fibrointimal proliferation), presence of autoantibodies and collagen deposition in skin (scleroderma) and internal organs. ... -
Enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis
Sakkas, L. I.; Alexiou, I.; Simopoulou, T.; Vlychou, M. (2013)Objectives: It is increasingly recognized that enthesitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is of clinical importance. We review data on the detection, assessment, and treatment of enthesitis and its related ... -
Flow Cytometric Detection of p38 MAPK Phosphorylation and Intracellular Cytokine Expression in Peripheral Blood Subpopulations from Patients with Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases
Mavropoulos, A.; Bogdanos, D. P.; Liaskos, C.; Orfanidou, T.; Simopoulou, T.; Zafiriou, E.; Sakkas, L. I.; Rigopoulou, E. I. (2014)Flow cytometric analysis of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling cascade is optimally achieved by methanol permeabilization protocols. Such protocols suffer from the difficulties to accurately detect ... -
