Journal ArticleDOI
The S100B story: from biomarker to active factor in neural injury.
Fabrizio Michetti,Fabrizio Michetti,Nadia D'Ambrosi,Amelia Toesca,Maria Ausiliatrice Puglisi,Alessia Serrano,Elisa Marchese,Valentina Corvino,Maria Concetta Geloso +8 more
TL;DR: The perspective that S100B may be regarded as a therapeutic target for these different diseases, which appear to share some common features reasonably attributable to neuroinflammation, regardless their origin is opened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines and growth factors in the protruded intervertebral disc of the lumbar spine
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time the presence of IL-6-R in the chondrocytes of herniated tissue, which indicates nerve root irritation induced by factors produced by the intervertebral disc may play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of sciatic pain production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Docosahexaenoic acid induces proteasome-dependent degradation of β-catenin, down-regulation of survivin and apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells not expressing COX-2
Gabriella Calviello,Federica Resci,Simona Serini,Elisabetta Piccioni,Amelia Toesca,Alma Boninsegna,Giovanni Monego,Franco O. Ranelletti,Paola Palozza +8 more
TL;DR: The possibility that DHA may exert pro-apoptotic and antitumoral effects through proteasomal regulation of beta-catenin levels and alterations in the expression of TCF-beta- catenin target genes is raised.
Journal ArticleDOI
DHA induces apoptosis by altering the expression and cellular location of GRP78 in colon cancer cell lines.
Elena Fasano,Simona Serini,Elisabetta Piccioni,Amelia Toesca,Giovanni Monego,Achille Cittadini,Franco O. Ranelletti,Gabriella Calviello +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, the regulation of cellular GRP78 expression and location is suggested as a possible route through which DHA can exert pro-apoptotic and antitumoral effects in colon cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of nitric oxide synthase type III in the internal thoracic and radial arteries and the great saphenous vein: a comparative immunohistochemical study.
TL;DR: The first demonstration of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase type III expression at the level of the smooth muscle cells of the tunica media of systemic human arteries is provided and can provide an histologic explanation for the better results of the internal thoracic artery when used for coronary artery bypass grafting.
