Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic exposure to free fatty acids or high glucose induces apoptosis in rat pancreatic islets: Possible role of oxidative stress
Salvatore Piro,M. Anello,Cinzia Di Pietro,Maria Natalia Lizzio,G Patanè,Agata Maria Rabuazzo,Riccardo Vigneri,Michele Purrello,Francesco Purrello +8 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that chronic exposure to elevated FFA or glucose levels increases apoptosis in rat pancreatic islets and these cytotoxic effects could be mediated by oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of exosomes and their microRNA cargo in human follicular fluid: bioinformatic analysis reveals that exosomal microRNAs control pathways involved in follicular maturation.
Manuela Santonocito,Marilena Vento,Maria Rosa Guglielmino,Rosalia Battaglia,Jessica Wahlgren,Marco Ragusa,Davide Barbagallo,Placido Borzì,Simona Rizzari,Marco Maugeri,Paolo Scollo,Carla Tatone,Hadi Valadi,Michele Purrello,Cinzia Di Pietro +14 more
TL;DR: This study identified a series of exosomal microRNAs that are highly represented in human FF and are involved in follicular maturation and could represent noninvasive biomarkers of oocyte quality in assisted reproductive technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendrimers based on ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) polypyridine complexes and the approach of using complexes as ligands and complexes as metals
Scolastica Serroni,Sebastiano Campagna,Fausto Puntoriero,Cinzia Di Pietro,Nathan D. McClenaghan,Frédérique Loiseau +5 more
TL;DR: The use of the "complexes as ligands and complexes as metals" synthetic strategy for the preparation of luminescent and redox-active Ru(II and Os(II) dendrimers, the dominant synthetic approach for this novel class of compounds, is reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of circulating microRNAs for the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and Multiple System Atrophy
Annamaria Vallelunga,Marco Ragusa,Stefania Di Mauro,Tommaso Iannitti,Manuela Pilleri,Roberta Biundo,Luca Weis,Cinzia Di Pietro,Angela De Iuliis,Alessandra Nicoletti,Mario Zappia,Michele Purrello,Angelo Antonini +12 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that cmiRNA signatures discriminate PD from MSA patients and healthy controls and may be considered specific, non-invasive biomarkers for differential diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of RNA-binding proteins in exosomes capable of interacting with different types of RNA: RBP-facilitated transport of RNAs into exosomes.
Luisa Statello,Marco Maugeri,Elena Garre,Muhammad Nawaz,Jessica Wahlgren,Alexandros Papadimitriou,Christina Lundqvist,Lennart Lindfors,Anna Collén,Per Sunnerhagen,Marco Ragusa,Michele Purrello,Cinzia Di Pietro,Natalie J. Tigue,Hadi Valadi +14 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that RNA binding proteins (RBPs) could end up in exosomes together with RNA molecules in the form of RNA–ribonucleoprotein complexes, which could be important for the transport of RNAs into exosome and the maintenance ofRNAs inside exosomal-RNA species.
