Bisphenol A induces gene expression changes an proliferative effects through GPER in breast cancer celles and cancer-associated fibroblasts
(2012)Bisphenol A (BPA) is the principal constituent of baby bottles, reusable water bottles, metal cans, and plastic food containers. BPA exerts estrogen-like activity by interacting with the classical estrogen receptors (ER ... -
Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) through TGR5-dependent CREB-signaling activation enhances Cyclin D1 expression and promotes human endometrial cancer cell proliferation
(2011)Increasing epidemiologic data in humans as well as many in vitro investigative reports suggest that overweight and obesity are important risk factors for type-I EC which is the most common malignancy in women and accounts ... -
Dynamic effects of retinoic acid and its isomers on cancer and physiology
(2010-11-23)In the search for new cancer chemo-preventive compounds, hundreds of naturally occurring molecules have been evaluated. Among these, antioxidants appear to be very promising. In this contest, over the last decade retinoids, ... -
Estrogen Receptor beta, through Sp1, recruits a corepressor complex to the Estrogen Receptor alpha gene promoter in breast cancer cells
(2012)Human Estrogen receptors alpha (α) and beta (β) are essential components of a complex signal transduction pathway that regulates mammary growth and development. Several studies have reported that normal breast tissues ... -
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 the expression of a Small Leucin-Rich Proteoglycan, Asporin, in normal human osteoblasts and regulation by breast cancer cells
(2014-11-17)Asporin (ASPN) is an extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the Small Leucine Rich Repeat proteoglycan (SLRP) family. Asporin is abundantly expressed in the articular cartilage of individuals with osteoarthritis. ...
