In vitro mechanism for downregulation of erα expression by epigallocatechim gallate in ER+/PR+ human breast cancer cells
(2013-11-26)La prolungata esposizione agli estrogeni rappresenta un fattore di rischio per lo sviluppo e la progressione del carcinoma mammario, pertanto la terapia antiestrogenica è considerata l’approccio terapeutico di elezione ... -
Modelli sperimentali cellulari e molecolari per la valutazione della tossicità di xenobiotici
(2013-12-02)The aim of my thesis was to find two different experimental models to study cellular and molecular xenobiotics toxicity. In the first part of the present work we studied the interaction between two different plasma ... -
Study of autophagic and epigenetic mechanisms in experimental models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain for the identification of new pharmacological targets
(2013-11-28)Pain is defined by IASP as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage” (IASP, 2011). While physiological pain is like a warning ... -
<<The>> estrogen receptor α is the key regulator of the bifunctional role of FoxO3a transcription factor in breast cancer motility and invasiveness
(2013-12-02)The role of the Forkhead box class O (FoxO)3a transcription factor in breast cancer migration and invasion is controversial. Here we show that FoxO3a overexpression decreases motility, invasiveness, and anchorage-indep ... -
Caratterizzazione pre-clinica di una nuova strategia terapeutica per l'ischemia cerebrale identificata mediante drug repurposing di un antibiotico macrolide
(2013-11-30)Cerebral ischemia is one of the most common causes of disability and mortality worldwide and the only pharmacological treatment currently available is thrombolysis. The understanding of the mechanisms underlying ischemic ... -
A Lévy Walk approach to the propagation of solar energetic particles
(2013-11-26)This thesis is dedicated to the problem of energetic particle propagation in the solar wind, with special emphasis on the propagation of solar energetic particles (SEPs). Those particles are accelerated either in the low ... -
