CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION.

2011

The dynamic properties of neuronal chromatin are modulated by triiodothyronine.

1992

The effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on the rate of synthesis of nuclear proteins was studied during terminal differentiation of rat cortical neurons cultured in a serum-free medium. To this aim total and acid soluble nuclear proteins were analyzed by different electrophoretic techniques. Our results show that: 1) during maturation in vitro, neuronal nuclei undergo a dramatic change in the rate at which different classes of histones and high mobility group (HMG) proteins are synthesized; the synthetic activity, measured as incorporation of radioactive precursors into nuclear proteins, slows indeed down with age: especially evident is the decrease in core histones synthesis; at day 15, on the…

Il carcinoma del colon-retto (CRC) è una malattia eterogenea, che si sviluppa in seguito a numerose alterazioni genetiche ed epigenetiche. Una famiglia genica che si trova frequentemente mutata nei tumori è quella di ras che consta di tre principali protoncogeni (H-, K- e N-Ras) localizzati su cromosomi differenti e codificanti proteine G del peso di 21 KDa. Il 50% dei casi di CRC presenta mutazioni puntiformi missense a carico del gene KRAS, il 90% delle quali si verifica a livello dei codoni 12 e 13 e rende la proteina costitutivamente attiva. Diversi studi dimostrano come mutazioni di differenti codoni di K-Ras potrebbero avere diverse conseguenze biologiche e determinare una diversa ris…

MUSCLE WASTING AND CARDIAC MUSCLE DAMAGE IN CACHECTIC PATIENTS

2013

Muscle wasting is a degeneration of the muscle tissue that can derive from several patho-logical situations, but most of the times is caused by a condition of cachexia in patients with cancer or other diseases. This degeneration results from a decrease in protein syn-thesis and an increase in protein degradation. This is caused mainly by the overexpres-sion of ubiquitin-proteosome-system (UPS) elements, under the control of factors re-leased in cachexia that lead cells toward a catabolic rather than an anabolic pathway. Both skeletal and cardiac muscles can be affected by muscle wasting and until now an effective treatment is unknown. Only experimental trials of exercise training bring to a…

Cellular, biochemical and molecular effects of cadmium on marine invertebrates: focus on Paracentrotus lividus sea urchin development

2009

Cadmium is a heavy metal that is toxic for living organisms even at low concentrations. The presence in the environment of this metal has grown because of its large employment in some industrial and agricultural activities. Although heavy metals are terrestrially produced, they flow into the sea through effluents and sewage or are directly discharged from industries placed on the seawater front. In addition to its release into costal waters, cadmium fallout, following atmospheric events, contributes to the pollution of marine ecosystems. It should be considered that cadmium concentrations determined in the field vary widely according to different seawater latitudes and depths and can be str…

Relationship between autophagy and apoptosis in Paracentrotus lividus embryos cadmium exposed

2011

Cadmium is a strong toxicant for living organism since it does not have biological roles and can cause several cellular damages comprising genotoxicity, oxidative stress, and other biochemical dysfunctions. Marine invertebrate embryos represent a suitable model system where to investigate the effects of many stressors on development and cell viability. Here we investigated the toxic effect of cadmium on sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus embryos focusing our attention on metal-inducead autophagy and the possible temporal and functional relationship with apoptosis. Using several techniques to detect autophagy (neutral red, acridine orange and LC3-detection) we demonstrated that Cd-exposed P. l…
