Journal ArticleDOI
KRT14 marks a subpopulation of bladder basal cells with pivotal role in regeneration and tumorigenesis
George Papafotiou,Varvara Paraskevopoulou,Eleni Vasilaki,Zoi Kanaki,Nikolaos Paschalidis,Apostolos Klinakis +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a minor subpopulation of basal cells, characterized by the expression of keratin 14, possesses self-renewal capacity and also gives rise to all cell types of the urothelium during natural and injury-induced regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
The lysine-specific methyltransferase KMT2C/MLL3 regulates DNA repair components in cancer
Theodoros Rampias,Dimitris Karagiannis,Margaritis Avgeris,Alexander Polyzos,Antonis Kokkalis,Zoi Kanaki,Evgenia Kousidou,Maria Tzetis,E. Kanavakis,Konstantinos Stravodimos,Kalliopi N. Manola,Gabriel E. Pantelias,Andreas Scorilas,Apostolos Klinakis +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that downregulation of K MT2C in bladder cancer cells leads to extensive changes in the epigenetic status and the expression of DNA damage response and DNA repair genes, suggesting that cancer cells with low KMT2C expression are attractive targets for therapies with PARP1/2 inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular mechanisms of carfilzomib-induced cardiotoxicity in mice and the emerging cardioprotective role of metformin.
Panagiotis Efentakis,Panagiotis Efentakis,Georgios Kremastiotis,Aimilia Varela,Panagiota-Efstathia Nikolaou,Eleni-Dimitra Papanagnou,Constantinos H. Davos,M Tsoumani,Georgios Agrogiannis,Anastasia E. Konstantinidou,Efstathios Kastritis,Zoi Kanaki,Efstathios K. Iliodromitis,Apostolos Klinakis,Meletios A. Dimopoulos,Ioannis P. Trougakos,Ioanna Andreadou,Evangelos Terpos +17 more
TL;DR: Conclusively, Cfz decreased left ventricular function through increased PP2A activity and inhibition of AMPKα and its downstream autophagic targets, whereas Met represents a novel promising intervention against Cfz-induced cardiotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic nanoparticles coated with polyarabic acid demonstrate enhanced drug delivery and imaging properties for cancer theranostic applications.
Maria Patitsa,Konstantina Karathanou,Konstantina Karathanou,Zoi Kanaki,Lamprini Tzioga,Natassa Pippa,C Demetzos,Dimitris A. Verganelakis,Zoe Cournia,Apostolos Klinakis +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that magnetic nanodevices coated with polyarabic acid offer a new avenue for theranostics efforts as efficient drug carriers, while providing excellent contrasting properties due to their ferrous magnetic core, which can help the future design of nanomaterials for cancer imaging and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Empagliflozin Treatment Reduces Myocardial Infarct Size in Nondiabetic Mice Through STAT-3-Mediated Protection on Microvascular Endothelial Cells and Reduction of Oxidative Stress.
Panagiota Efstathia Nikolaou,Panagiotis Efentakis,Fairouz Abu Qourah,Saveria Femminò,Manousos Makridakis,Zoi Kanaki,Aimilia Varela,M Tsoumani,Constantinos H. Davos,Constantinos A. Dimitriou,Androniki Tasouli,George Dimitriadis,Nikolaos Kostomitsopoulos,Coert J. Zuurbier,Antonia Vlahou,Apostolos Klinakis,Maria Felice Brizzi,Efstathios K. Iliodromitis,Ioanna Andreadou +18 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that chronic EMPA treatment regulates several pathways at reperfusion including oxidative stress and integrin related proteins which were further evaluated and led to a significant reduction of oxidative stress biomarkers.
