Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-related alterations of gut microbiota composition in the BTBR mouse model of autism spectrum disorder
Lorena Coretti,Claudia Cristiano,Ermanno Florio,Giovanni Scala,Adriano Lama,Simona Keller,Mariella Cuomo,Roberto Russo,Raffaela Pero,Orlando Paciello,Giuseppina Mattace Raso,Rosaria Meli,Sergio Cocozza,Antonio Calignano,Lorenzo Chiariotti,Francesca Lembo +15 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that alteration of GM in BTBR mice shows relevant sex-associated differences and supports the use of BTBR mouse model to dissect autism associated microbiota-gut-brain axis alteration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galectin‐1 and galectin‐3 expression in human bladder transitional‐cell carcinomas
Luca Cindolo,Giovanna Benvenuto,Paola Salvatore,Raffaela Pero,Gaetano Salvatore,Vincenzo Mirone,Domenico Prezioso,Vincenzo Altieri,Carmelo B. Bruni,Lorenzo Chiariotti +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the expression of these galectins in 38 human bladder transitional‐cell carcinomas of different histological grade and clinical stage and in 5 normal urothelium samples revealed a higher content of galectin‐1 in tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
LPS-induced IL-8 activation in human intestinal epithelial cells is accompanied by specific histone H3 acetylation and methylation changes.
Tiziana Angrisano,Raffaela Pero,Silvia Peluso,Simona Keller,Silvana Sacchetti,Carmelo B. Bruni,Lorenzo Chiariotti,Francesca Lembo +7 more
TL;DR: Specific chromatin modifications occurring at IL-8 gene, including histone H3 acetylation and methylation, mark LPS-mediated IL- 8 activation in intestinal epithelial cells while it is unlikely that DNA methylation of IL-9 promoter is directly involved in IL-7 gene regulation in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel member of the BTB/POZ family, PATZ, associates with the RNF4 RING finger protein and acts as a transcriptional repressor.
Monica Fedele,Giovanna Benvenuto,Raffaela Pero,Barbara Majello,Sabrina Battista,Francesca Lembo,Erminia Vollono,Patricia M. Day,Massimo Santoro,Luigi Lania,Carmelo B. Bruni,Alfredo Fusco,Lorenzo Chiariotti +12 more
TL;DR: A novel human gene encoding a 59-kDa POZ-AT hook-zinc finger protein (PATZ) that interacts with RNF4, a mediator of androgen receptor activity, and acts as a transcriptional repressor is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
High mobility group I (Y) proteins bind HIPK2, a serine-threonine kinase protein which inhibits cell growth
Giovanna Maria Pierantoni,Monica Fedele,Francesca Pentimalli,Giovanna Benvenuto,Raffaela Pero,Giuseppe Viglietto,Massimo Santoro,Lorenzo Chiariotti,Alfredo Fusco +8 more
TL;DR: A colony assay showed an impressive HIPK2 inhibitory effect on normal thyroid cells, and it is shown that HIPK 2 is able to phosphorylate the HMGI(Y) protein by an in vitro kinase assay.
