Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the Olive-Derived Polyphenol Oleuropein on Human Health
Barbara Barbaro,Gabriele Toietta,R. Maggio,Mario Arciello,Mirko Tarocchi,Andrea Galli,Clara Balsano +6 more
TL;DR: The positive impact on human health of oleuropein, the most prevalent polyphenol present in olives, is reviewed and data collected in the laboratory is provided on the role of o Leandropein in counteracting lipid accumulation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Stimulates Rat Cholangiocyte Proliferation Via an Autocrine Mechanism
Eugenio Gaudio,Barbara Barbaro,Barbara Barbaro,Domenico Alvaro,Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Yoshiyuki Ueno,Cynthia J. Meininger,Antonio Franchitto,Paolo Onori,Marco Marzioni,Silvia Taffetani,Giammarco Fava,George Stoica,Julie Venter,Ramona Reichenbach,Sharon De Morrow,Ryun Summers,Gianfranco Alpini +18 more
TL;DR: VEGF mediates the adaptive proliferative response of cholangiocytes to cholestasis and is found to be amplified in BDL cholangsiocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogens and insulin-like growth factor 1 modulate neoplastic cell growth in human cholangiocarcinoma.
Domenico Alvaro,Barbara Barbaro,Antonio Franchitto,Paolo Onori,Shannon Glaser,Shannon Glaser,Gianfranco Alpini,Gianfranco Alpini,Heather Francis,Luca Marucci,Paola Sterpetti,S. Ginanni-Corradini,Andrea Onetti Muda,David E. Dostal,Adriano De Santis,Adolfo Francesco Attili,Antonio Benedetti,Eugenio Gaudio +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas express receptors for estrogens and IGF-1, which cooperate in the modulation of cell growth and apoptosis, and could represent a strategy for the management of cholangsiOCarcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nerve growth factor modulates the proliferative capacity of the intrahepatic biliary epithelium in experimental cholestasis
Alessandro Gigliozzi,Gianfranco Alpini,Gianluca Svegliati Baroni,Luca Marucci,Veronica Drudi Metalli,Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Maria Grazia Mancino,Yoshiyuki Ueno,Barbara Barbaro,Antonio Benedetti,Adolfo Francesco Attili,Domenico Alvaro +12 more
TL;DR: In vivo, immunoneutralization of NGF decreased bile duct mass in BDL rats, which was associated with depressed proliferation and enhanced apoptosis and with increased portal inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bile acid depletion and repletion regulate cholangiocyte growth and secretion by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase–dependent pathway in rats
Gianfranco Alpini,Gianfranco Alpini,Shannon Glaser,Domenico Alvaro,Yoshiyuki Ueno,Marco Marzioni,Heather Francis,Leonardo Baiocchi,Tonino Stati,Barbara Barbaro,Jo Lynne Phinizy,Jeremy Mauldin,Gene LeSage +12 more
TL;DR: Bile acid uptake by ABAT and the PI3-K pathway are important for bile acids to signal cholangiocyte proliferation and secretion in bile duct obstruction.
