Charatterization of store-operated calcium entry in the neuroimmune response evoked by ischemic preconditioning in mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion
(Università della Calabria, 2021-06-10)Cerebral ischemia is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability worldwide. Currently approved therapies for ischemic stroke are limited to reperfusion through mechanical recanalization and/or pharmacological ... -
Stromal cells in breast cancer microenvironment: molecular mechanisms involved in tumor progression and potential therapeutic targets
(Università della Calabria, 2021-03-26)Stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play an important role in breast cancer progression, metastasis and therapeutic outcome. Among stromal cells, Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells ... -
GPER mediates the up-regulation of acid synthase (fasn) intuced by 17B-estradiol in cancer cell and in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs)
(2012-11-26)Activation of lipid metabolism is an early event in carcinogenesis and a central hallmark of many tumors. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a key lipogenic enzyme catalyzing the terminal steps in the de novo biogenesis of ... -
FoxO3a reactivation restores the sensitivity to the antiestrogen treatment in tamoxifen resistant breast cancer
(2017-06-12)Resistance to endocrine treatments is a major clinical challenge in the management of estrogen receptor alpha positive (ER+) breast cancers (BC). Although multiple mechanisms leading to endocrine resistance have been ... -
Activated FXR inhibits leptin signaling and counteracts tumor-promoting activities of cancer-associated fibroblasts in breast malignancy
(2017-06-12)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the principal components of the tumor stroma, play a central role in cancer development and progression. As an important regulator of the crosstalk between breast cancer cells and CAFs, ... -
Stimulatory actions of IGF-I are mediated by IGF-IR cross-talk with GPER and DDR1 in mesothelioma and lung cancer cells
(2017-06-12)Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)/IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) system has been largely involved in the pathogenesis and development of various tumors. We have previously demonstrated that IGF-IR cooperates with the G-protein ... -

Identification and biochemical-molecular characterization of mitochondrial carrier proteins in human andmodel organisms and associated diseases
(2017-06-12)The mitochondrial carriers (MCs) are transmembrane proteins found in the mitochondrial inner membrane, which catalyze the translocation of solutes through the membrane. These belong to a family of carrier proteins, the ... -
Study of antimicrobial and anticancer activity of new synthetic and natural tools
(2017-06-12)Infectious diseases and cancer are the two disease groups that representing the major cause of death worldwide. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance is the biggest threat in the first case; in fact, new resistance ... -
Role of ERalpha/NOTCH4 axis in sustaining stemness in breast cancer cells
(2018-02-27)Early detection and new therapeutic strategies have improved breast cancer patient outcome and survival rates in the last years. However, breast cancer still remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among ... -
Targeting systems vulnerabilities in uveal melanoma by CRISPR Cas/9 focal adhesion kinase (FAK) genome editing and therapeutic inhibition
(2018-02-27)Il Melanoma Uveale rappresenta la neoplasia intraoculare più frequente nell’età adulta. Colpisce circa 2,500 individui ogni anno negli USA ed il 50% dei pazienti affetti da tale neoplasia sviluppa metastasi entro 5 ... -
Estrogen receptor alpha interferes with LKBl/AMPK/mTOR signaling activation in adiponectin-treated breast cancer cells
(2018-02-27)Breast cancer is the most common type of tumor and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, worldwide. The cause of breast cancer is multifactorial and includes hormonal, genetic and environmental cues. Obesity ... -
