Benfotiamine counteracts glucose toxicity effects on endothelial progenitor cell differentiation via Akt/FoxO signaling.
Valentina Marchetti,Rossella Menghini,Stefano Rizza,Alessia Vivanti,Tiziana Feccia,Davide Lauro,Akiyoshi Fukamizu,Renato Lauro,Massimo Federici +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that hyperglycemia impairs EPC differentiation and that the process can be restored by benfotiamine administration, via the modulation of Akt/FoxO1 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
L1-mediated Colon Cancer Cell metastasis does not Require Changes in EMT and Cancer Stem Cell Markers
TL;DR: The results suggest that L1-mediated metastasis of CRC cells does not require changes in EMT and CSC markers and operates by activating NF-κβ signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mammalian lectin galectin-8 induces RANKL expression, osteoclastogenesis, and bone mass reduction in mice
Yaron Vinik,Hadas Shatz-Azoulay,Alessia Vivanti,Navit Hever,Yifat Levy,Rotem Karmona,Vlad Brumfeld,Saja Baraghithy,Malka Attar-Lamdar,Sigalit Boura-Halfon,Itai Bab,Yehiel Zick +11 more
TL;DR: These findings identify galectins as new players in osteoclastogenesis and bone remodeling, and highlight a potential regulation of bone mass by animal lectins.
FOR PEER REVIEW - CONFIDENTIAL The mammalian lectin galectin-8 induces RANKL expression, osteoclastogenesis and bone mass reduction in mice
Yaron Vinik,Alessia Vivanti,Yifat Levy,Vlad Brumfeld,Malka Attar-Lamdar,Sigalit Boura-Halfon,Itai Bab,Yehiel Zick +7 more
TL;DR: Vinik et al. as discussed by the authors showed that mice overexpressing galectin-8, a secreted mammalian lectin of the galectins family, exhibit accelerated osteoclasts activity and bone turnover, which culminates in reduced bone mass, similar to cases of postmenopausal osteoporosis and cancerous osteolysis.
