Chaperons moleculae in brain tumors-CHAMOBRAT TRIAL: HSP60 and microRNAs related levels in tissue and circulating exosomes in human brain tumors befo…
Current regimen for high-grade gliomas is maximal safe surgical resection followed by external beam radiotherapy with concurrent temozolamide. Maximal tumor resection, however, must be balanced with preservation of the patient’s neurological function. A crucial prognostic factor in oncological neurosurgery is the extent of resection. Several studies have addressed the importance of extent of resection in gliomas surgery. Despite development in the fields of pre operative and intraoperative neuroimaging and neuromonitoring have ameliorated the survival rate and the quality of life for patients affected by high grade gliomas, the clinical outcome of patients with such gliomas remains extremel…
Adipose stem cells on the basis of tumor transformation
Mesenchymal stem cells thanks to their differentiated multipotent ability are considered the most promising candidate for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The source of mesenchymal stem cells up to about 20 years was represented by the bone marrow, but due to their limited amount of cells together with a very invasive and painfull surgical treatment, poorly accepted by patients, has led the scientific community to investigate an alternative mesenchymal stem cells source with similar properties. In particular, the adipose tissue has attracted the greatest interest thanks to its relative abundance, the easy of availability and the large amounts of mesenchymal stem cells which are…
Plazmas miRNS kā multiplās sklerozes biomarķieri
2018
Vairākos pētījumos ir atklātas miRNS, tajā skaitā cirkulējošas miRNS, kuru daudzums ir izmainīts multiplā sklerozē. miRNS kā jaunu biomarķieru izpēte šai slimībai varētu palīdzēt diagnosticēt un prognozēt tās attīstību agrīnā stadijā. Šajā pētījumā ir prezentēti mūsu dati par dažām miRNS, kas tikadetektētas MS pacientu asins plazmā, kā izmainītas. Mēs salīdzinājām miRNS ekspresijas līmeņus MS un tās apakštipos ar veselo kontroli, lai atrastu potenciālās miRNS, kas var tikt izmantotas, kā MS biomarķieri. Galvenais mērķis bija validēt sekvenēšanas rezultātā atlasītās miRNS, kuru daudzums bija izmainīts MS pacientu asins plazmā neatkarīgā pacientu kopā. miRNS 484, kuras daudzums bija visvairāk…
Genetic and Molecular Characterization of The Human Osteosarcoma 3AB-OS Cancer Stem Cell Line: A Possible Model For Studying Osteosarcoma Origin and …
2013
Finding new treatments targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) within a tumor seems to be critical to halt cancer and improve patient survival. Osteosarcoma is an aggressive tumor affecting adolescents, for which there is no second-line chemotherapy. Uncovering new molecular mechanisms underlying the development of osteosarcoma and origin of CSCs is crucial to identify new possible therapeutic strategies. Here, we aimed to characterize genetically and molecularly the human osteosarcoma 3AB-OS CSC line, previously selected from MG63 cells and which proved to have both in vitro and in vivo features of CSCs. Classic cytogenetic studies demonstrated that 3AB-OS cells have hypertriploid karyotype wit…
A ceRNA analysis on LMNA gene focusing on the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
2013
Background: Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare dominant human disease of genetic origin. The average life expectancy is about 20 years, patients’ life quality is still very poor and no efficient therapy has yet been developed. It is caused by mutation of the LMNA gene, which results in accumulation in the nuclear membrane of a particular splicing form of Lamin-A called progerin. The mechanism by which progerin perturbs cellular homeostasis and leads to the symptoms is still under debate. Micro-RNAs are able to negatively regulate transcription by coupling with the 3’ UnTranslated Region of messenger RNAs. Several Micro-RNAs recognize the same 3’ UnTranslated Region and each Micr…
Establecimiento de organoides derivados de pacientes con carcinoma colorrectal como modelo para cribado de drogas con acción antitumoral
2022
El cáncer colorrectal (CCR) es la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer a nivel mundial, y es el tercero en incidencia. En los últimos años se han realizado grandes avances para entender mejor los aspectos clínico-patológicos y moleculares del CCR lo que ha conducido a una mejora de las terapias y aumentado la supervivencia de los pacientes. Sin embargo, pese a estos avances muchos pacientes no se benefician de los tratamientos, lo que evidencia la necesidad de búsqueda de nuevos biomarcadores de respuesta y modelos preclínicos adecuados que permitan avanzar hacia una medicina más personalizada. En este contexto, la tecnología de los organoides ha revolucionado el estudio in vitro del cáncer, …
Mecanismos epigenéticos en las células endometriales estromales durante el proceso de decidualización
2012
Durante el ciclo menstrual y bajo el control de las hormonas esteroideas el endometrio experimenta grandes cambios morfológicos y bioquímicos en preparación para la implantación embrionaria. Los principales eventos que tienen lugar son el establecimiento del estado receptivo seguido de un aumento en los niveles de progesterona que induce la decidualización de las células estromales endometriales. La decidualización es una transformación morfológica y funcional del compartimento endometrial estromal necesaria para el control del proceso de invasión embrionaria y la formación de la placenta y por lo tanto para el establecimiento del embarazo. Este proceso está muy bien caracterizado a nivel t…
Liquid Biopsy in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
2017
Over the past 15 years, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have emerged from a poorly understood neoplasm to a well-defined tumor entity. Starting from 2000, the discovery of gain-of-function mutations involving KIT or PDGFRα (platelet-derived growth factor-α) genes and the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, revolutionized dramatically the management of GISTs. Due to the almost continual emergence of new data about biological complexity of GISTs and more sophisticated whole-genome technologies, to date, the role of molecular biology is clinically important to drive therapeutic decision making. The possibility of using liquid biopsy in GISTs was reported…

Recent advances and disputes about curcumin in retinal diseases
2021
Abstract Curcumin belongs to the group of so-called phytocompounds, biologically active molecules produced by plants exerting a beneficial effect on health. Curcumin shows a wide spectrum of different properties, being an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antimutagenic molecule. The purpose of the review is to examine what literature reported on the characteristics of curcumin, particularly, on the beneficial and controversial aspects of this molecule, aiming for a better therapeutic management of retinal diseases. The retina is a constant target of oxidative stress, this tissue being characterized by cells rich in mitochondria and by vessels and being, obviously, continuous…
