In adult tissue the quiescent state of a single cell is maintained by steady conditions its own microenvironment for what concern both cell-cell as well cell-ECM interaction and soluble factors concentration. Physiological or pathological can alter this through an imbalance insoluble that trigger cellular phenotypic response. The kind response depends many but one most important concentration cytokines sensed target cell. addition, due to intrinsic plasticity types, every able, in same...
Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is the most highly expressed subtype in colon epithelium and mediates protective effect of estrogen against development cancer. Indeed, expression this inversely related to colorectal cancer progression. Structurally estrogen-like compounds, including vitamin E components, affect cell growth by binding ERs. In present study, proliferation was measured counting a Bürker hemocytometer, ERβ Real-Time qPCR immunoenzymatic methods. The results obtained show that natural...
Laser therapy is used in physical medicine and rehabilitation to accelerate muscle recovery sports prevent damages produced by metabolic disturbances inflammatory reactions after heavy exercise. The aim of this research was get insight into possible benefits deriving from the application an advanced IR laser system counteract deficits energy metabolism stimulate hypotrophic tissue. We studied effect treatment on proliferation, differentiation, cytoskeleton organization global protein...
Abstract Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram‐negative, xylem‐limited, bacterium which responsible, in Italy, for the olive quick decline syndrome ( OQDS ). The disease caused by subspecies pauca and emerged few years ago Apulia province of Lecce, Salento peninsula, on Olea europaea plants . X. can infect different plant species well known California as causal agent Pierce's grape. Infections susceptible hosts with are to result xylem vessel occlusions, water movement impairment, accordingly induce...
Regular physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease, as it probably modifies the balance between free-radical generation and antioxidant activity. On other hand, however, acute increases oxygen uptake leads to temporary imbalance production reactive nitrogen species (RONS) their disposal: this phenomenon called oxidative stress. Proteins are one most important oxidation targets during exercise carbonylation common protein modifications. In cells there...
DNA-based approaches were used to characterize a strain (Salento-1) of Xylella fastidiosa obtained from an olive plant suffering the syndrome quick decline in Apulia (South Italy). Salento-1 was indistinguishable CoDiRO previously isolated and assigned to X. subsp. pauca. Based on our results comparative analysis with reported data, subspecies pauca , multiplex may invade throughout world (California, Italy, Argentina Brazil). The has been deposited National Collection Plant Pathogenic...
The development of analytical devices that can allow an easy, rapid and cost-effective measurement multiple markers, such as progesterone β-hCG, could have a role in decreasing the burden associated with pregnancy-related complications, ectopic pregnancies. Indeed, pregnancies are significant contributor to maternal morbidity mortality both high-income low-income countries. In this work, effective highly performing electrochemical strip for combo determination β-hCG was developed. Two...
Xylella fastidiosa causing disease on different plant species has been reported in several European countries, since 2013. Based multilocus sequence typing (MLST) results, there is evidence of repeated introductions the pathogen Spain and France. In contrast, Salento area Apulia (Puglia) Southern Italy, existence a unique Apulian MLST genotype X. , olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS; also referred to as “CoDiRO” or “ST53”) was proven, this tentatively ascribed subsp. pauca . order acquire...
Abstract Our results show that the phosphate ion is a nonlinear competitive inhibitor of Pinus pinea isocitrate lyase. In addition, this compound induces sigmoidal response enzyme, which usually exhibits standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics. This peculiar behavior ofP. lyase could be explained by dimer (two-site) model, in binds cooperatively, but affinity vacant site for substrate (the magnesium-isocitrate complex) remains same. As result, interaction with free enzyme produces an...
The effects of the phenolic compounds extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on AGS cells have never been studied so far, which is aim this study. profiles main components in EVOOs, mainly secoiridoid derived from transformation oleuropein during milling process, were evaluated and compared. Oils different origins aiming at verifying whether chemical differences composition dry extracts played a role metabolism maintaining cellular redox state cells. following key enzymes some metabolic pathways...
Pâté is a by-product of olive oil production which represents an abundant source phenolic compounds and can be used for food formulation, reducing its environmental impact promoting circular economy. In this context, the effects hydroalcoholic extract pâté were evaluated first time in AGS human cell line commonly as model gastric mucosa. was obtained from Tuscan olives; total content 16.6 mg/g dried extract, with verbascoside secoiridoid derivatives most phenols. The did not alter viability,...
