Journal ArticleDOI
Antitumor Activity of Plant Cannabinoids with Emphasis on the Effect of Cannabidiol on Human Breast Carcinoma
Alessia Ligresti,Aniello Schiano Moriello,Katarzyna Starowicz,Isabel Matias,Simona Pisanti,Luciano De Petrocellis,Chiara Laezza,Giuseppe Portella,Maurizio Bifulco,Vincenzo Di Marzo +9 more
TL;DR: Results obtained in a panel of tumor cell lines clearly indicate that, of the five natural compounds tested, cannabidiol is the most potent inhibitor of cancer cell growth, with significantly lower potency in noncancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemistry and pharmacology of endovanilloids.
TL;DR: The mechanisms for the regulation of the levels of the proposed endovanilloids, as well as their TRPV1-mediated pharmacological actions in vitro and in vivo, are discussed and the possible pathological conditions in which endovanillsoids, acting at sometimes aberrantly expressed TRPv1 receptors, might play a role are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuation of allergic contact dermatitis through the endocannabinoid system
Meliha Karsak,Evelyn Gaffal,Rahul Date,Lihua Wang-Eckhardt,Jennifer Rehnelt,Stefania Petrosino,Katarzyna Starowicz,Regina Steuder,Eberhard Schlicker,Benjamin F. Cravatt,Raphael Mechoulam,Reinhard Buettner,Sabine Werner,Vincenzo Di Marzo,Thomas Tüting,Andreas Zimmer +15 more
TL;DR: A protective role of the endocannabinoid system in contact allergy in the skin is demonstrated and a target for therapeutic intervention is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocannabinoid Dysregulation in the Pancreas and Adipose Tissue of Mice Fed With a High‐fat Diet
Katarzyna Starowicz,Luigia Cristino,Isabel Matias,Raffaele Capasso,Alessandro Racioppi,Angelo A. Izzo,Vincenzo Di Marzo +6 more
TL;DR: In mice, endocannabinoids modulate insulin release from pancreatic β‐cells and adipokine expression in adipocytes through cannabinoid receptors through cannabinoids receptors, and these alterations are elevated during hyperglycemia and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tonic Endovanilloid Facilitation of Glutamate Release in Brainstem Descending Antinociceptive Pathways
Katarzyna Starowicz,Sabatino Maione,Luigia Cristino,Enza Palazzo,Ida Marabese,Francesca Rossi,Vito de Novellis,Vincenzo Di Marzo +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that VL-PAG neurons respond to TRPV1 stimulation by releasing glutamate into the RVM, thereby activating OFF cells and producing analgesia, and this pathway is tonically activated by endovanilloids.
