Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating microRNAs: New biomarkers in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer (Review)
Alessandro Allegra,Andrea Alonci,Salvatore Campo,Giuseppa Penna,Annamaria Petrungaro,Demetrio Gerace,Caterina Musolino +6 more
TL;DR: The role of circulating miRNAs could be particularly relevant in the context of neoplastic diseases, and the profiling of alterations in circulating miRNA that may signal a predisposition to cancer, could also be a therapeutic target in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erythropoietin protects against brain ischemic injury by inhibition of nitric oxide formation.
Gioacchino Calapai,Maria C. Marciano,Francesco Corica,Alessandro Allegra,Alessandra Parisi,Nicola Frisina,Achille P. Caputi,Michele Buemi +7 more
TL;DR: In vivo recombinant human erythropoietin effects on brain ischemic injury could be due to inhibition of NO overproduction, as indicated by reduction in nitrite and nitrate in the hippocampus, as observed after ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticancer Activity of Curcumin and Its Analogues: Preclinical and Clinical Studies
Alessandro Allegra,Vanessa Innao,Sabina Russo,Demetrio Gerace,Andrea Alonci,Caterina Musolino +5 more
TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the recent research conducted to overcome the problems with the bioavailability of curcumin, and of the preclinical and clinical studies that have reported success in combinatorial strategies couplingCurcumin with other treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between plasma leptin levels and the tumor necrosis factor-α system in obese subjects
Francesco Corica,Alessandro Allegra,Andrea Corsonello,Michele Buemi,Gioacchino Calapai,Antonella Ruello,V. Nicita Mauro,D Ceruso +7 more
TL;DR: The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the TNFα system could be involved in the regulation of plasma leptin concentrations in obese subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory and Anti-Inflammatory Equilibrium, Proliferative and Antiproliferative Balance: The Role of Cytokines in Multiple Myeloma.
Caterina Musolino,Alessandro Allegra,Vanessa Innao,Andrea Gaetano Allegra,Giovanni Pioggia,Sebastiano Gangemi +5 more
TL;DR: The association between MM and inflammatory cytokines appears to be inadequate, and other functions, such as pro-proliferative or antiproliferative effects, can assume the role of cytokines in the genesis and progression of MM.
