Journal ArticleDOI
Early demethylation of non-CpG, CpC-rich, elements in the myogenin 5'-flanking region: a priming effect on the spreading of active demethylation.
Andrea Fuso,Giampiero Ferraguti,Francesco Grandoni,Raffaella Ruggeri,Sigfrido Scarpa,Roberto Strom,Marco Lucarelli +6 more
TL;DR: The findings point to a dynamically controlled equilibrium between CpG and non-CpG active demethylation in the transcriptional control of tissue-specific genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
NGF and BDNF Alterations by Prenatal Alcohol Exposure.
Valentina Carito,Mauro Ceccanti,Giampiero Ferraguti,Roberto Coccurello,Stefania Ciafrè,Paola Tirassa,Marco Fiore +6 more
TL;DR: A possible therapeutic intervention based on the use of specific molecules with antioxidant properties in order to induce a potential prevention of the harmful effects of the paternal and/or maternal alcohol exposure is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paternal alcohol exposure in mice alters brain NGF and BDNF and increases ethanol-elicited preference in male offspring.
Mauro Ceccanti,Roberto Coccurello,Valentina Carito,Stefania Ciafrè,Giampiero Ferraguti,Giacomo Giacovazzo,Rosanna Mancinelli,Paola Tirassa,George N. Chaldakov,Esterina Pascale,Marco Ceccanti,Claudia Codazzo,Marco Fiore +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that PAE affects NGF and BDNF expression in the mouse brain; PAE may induce ethanol intake preference in the male offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotrophins' Modulation by Olive Polyphenols
Valentina Carito,Mauro Ceccanti,Luigi Tarani,Giampiero Ferraguti,George N. Chaldakov,Marco Fiore +5 more
TL;DR: A better understanding of the effects of polyphenols on neurotrophins and their receptors (TrkA, TrkB, p75NTR) could certainly generate interest for drug discovery and also for the potential dietary prevention of several neurological and cardiometric diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol addiction: a molecular biology perspective.
TL;DR: The aim of this work is to delineate a molecular approach strategy to look at alcohol dependence from a genetic and applicative point of view and should be of help for those who wish to undertake a molecular study of this multifactorial disease.
