Hot-spot mutations in the promoter region of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT mutations) occur frequently cutaneous and conjunctival melanoma are exceedingly rare uveal melanoma. No information is available on presence these melanocytic precursor lesion primary acquired melanosis (PAM). We tested a cohort melanomas as well benign premalignant lesions for TERT order to elucidate role tumor progression.TERT mutation analysis fresh DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens was...
Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive soft tissue cancer characterized by disturbed myogenic differentiation. Here we report a role for the oxidative stress response factor HO-1 in progression of RMS. We found that was elevated and its effector target miR-206 decreased RMS cell lines clinical primary tumors more alveolar phenotype (aRMS). In embryonal (eRMS), expression induced Pax3/7-FoxO1, aRMS hallmark oncogene, followed drop levels. Inhibition tin protoporphyrin (SnPP) or...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) include atherosclerosis, which is an inflammatory disease of large and medium vessels that leads to atherosclerotic plaque formation. The key factors contributing the onset progression atherosclerosis pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon (IFN)α IFNγ pattern recognition receptor (PRR) Toll-like 4 (TLR4). Together, they trigger activation IFN regulatory (IRFs) signal transducer activator transcription (STAT)s. Based on their promoting role in we hypothesized...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a polyglutamine neurodegenerative involving pathogenesis within the striatum and cerebral cortex neurodevelopmental component, particularly in juvenile HD form (JOHD). We established fused dorsal-ventral system, imitating interaction single organoid to discover impairments at level of cell populations. found range early pathogenic phenotypes indicating that brain development affected by impaired neurogenesis. The occurred already early-stage 60-day organoids...

MicroRNA-378a, highly expressed in skeletal muscles, was demonstrated to affect myoblasts differentiation and promote tumour angiogenesis. We hypothesized that miR-378a could play a pro-angiogenic role muscle may be involved regeneration after ischaemic injury mice.Silencing of murine C2C12 did not but impaired their secretory angiogenic potential towards endothelial cells. knockout (miR-378a-/-) mice resulted decreased number CD31-positive blood vessels arterioles gastrocnemius muscle.

Abstract The expression of the matricellular protein periostin has been associated with glioma progression. In previous work we found an association angiogenesis. Here, screen gliomas for POSTN and identify cells that express in human gliomas. addition, study role vitro model was investigated by RT-PCR immunohistochemistry. used double labeling situ RNA techniques to expressing cells. To investigate function periostin, silenced a 3D angiogenesis model. Periostin elevated pilocytic...
Magnetic nanoparticles are extensively studied for their use in diagnostics and medical therapy. The behavior of after adding them to cell culture is an essential factor (i.e., whether they attach a membrane or penetrate the enter into cell). present studies aimed demonstrate application electron spin resonance (ESR) as suitable technique monitoring entering cells during endocytosis process. model were composed magnetite iron (II, III) oxide core functionalized with organic unit containing...

Abstract BACKGROUND The expression of the matricellular protein periostin has recently been associated with glioma progression and angiogenesis. aim present study was to identify cellular source in human gliomas role an vitro model for MATERIAL AND METHODS various types grades brain tumors investigated at genetics level by RT-PCR immunohistochemistry. In addition, samples studied double labeling situ RNA techniques. Subsequently, silencing a 3D angiogenesis model, its effects on were...
