Molecular mechanisms of sorafenib action in liver cancer cells.
2012
Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, recently received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, as the clinical application of sorafenib evolves, there is increasing interest in defining the mechanisms underlying its anti-tumor activity. Considering that this specific inhibitor could target unexpected molecules depending on the biologic context, a precise understanding of its mechanism of action could be critical to maximize its treatment efficacy, while minimizing adverse effects. Two human HCC cell lines (HepG2 and Huh7), carrying different biological and genetic characteristics, were used in this study to examine the intracellular events leading …

La letteratura nigeriana in lingua inglese
2020
La tradizione letteraria nigeriana, appropriatasi della lingua del colonizzatore, travalica i confini nazionali, nonché quelli dei cosiddetti studi postcoloniali, percorrendo temi che vanno dalla cosmogonia mitologica all’impatto coloniale, dall’indipendenza alle migrazioni contemporanee. Nonostante sia ampiamente tradotta, in Italia questa produzione letteraria, che pure si è affermata come una delle più ricche del mondo delle lettere in lingua inglese, non è mai stata sistematizzata all’interno di uno studio specifico che ne sottolinei l’aspetto nazionale insieme a quello transnazionale. Questo volume si propone di colmare questo vuoto, contestualizzandola storicamente e culturalmente, sp…
Increased recovery of brain acetylcholinesterase activity in dichlorvos-intoxicated European eels Anguilla anguilla by bath treatment with N-acetylcy…
2003
Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are widely used as antiparasitic chemicals in finfish aquaculture. However, current antidotes cannot be applied to treat intoxicated fish. We showed in previous studies the importance of glutathione (GSH) metabolism in pesticide resistance of the European eel Anguilla anguilla L. The present work studied the effects of the antioxidant and glutathione pro-drug N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) on the recovery of European eels exposed for 96 h to a sublethal concentration (0.17 mg l^-1; 20% of its 96 h LC50) of the OP pesticide dichlorvos (2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate; DDVP). This insecticide and acaricide decreased muscular GSH content and increased oxidised g…
Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o’s Language(s) of African Literature
2016
One of the most fundamental problems newly emerged national literatures and writers in Africa have had to face in the post-colonial era has been to decide in which language to write in order to appeal to both the native readers in their recently independent countries and to large (international) publishing houses that would foster the sales of their books overseas. An unequivocal decision was difficult to make since, on the one hand, in majority, they wanted to be faithful to family vernacular traditions but, on the other, they wished to disseminate their message to a broader audience in the Western world. This paper, then, attempts to uncover the ideas contained in Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o’s Deco…
Seasonal screening of AChE, GSH and gonad histology, in European sea bassDicentrarchus labraxL. reared in three different fish farms
2013
The aim of this work was to do a preliminary seasonal screening of ecotoxicological biomarkers in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in three different fish farms, to know if the different location and typology can discriminate them. A set of selected biomarkers of xenobiotic exposure, such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, Glutathione (GSH) and gonad morphology were investigated seasonally in male European sea bass D. labrax (L.) reared in three different intensive farms: a land-based farm of cement tanks (T), an in-shore sea cages farm (C1) and an off-shore sea cages farm (C2). The results showed that both location and typology can discriminate AChE activity, GSH content and go…
