Parafoveal thinning of inner retina is associated with visual dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
(Wiley, 2019-05-28)
Background Retinal optical coherence tomography findings in Lewy body diseases and their implications for visual outcomes remain controversial. We investigated whether region-specific thickness analysis of retinal layers ...
Decreased expression of the β2 integrin on tumor cells is associated with a reduction in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer in mice
(Biomed Central, 2017-12-06)
Background: Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1 (LFA-1; CD18/CD11a) is one of the main adhesion molecules used by immune cells to infiltrate the liver under inflammatory conditions. Recently, the expression of this ...
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cell ICAM-1 mediated tumor/endothelial crosstalk drives the development of liver metastasis by initiating inflammatory and angiogenic responses
(Nature Publishing, 2019-09-11)
The prometastatic stroma generated through tumor cells/host cells interaction is critical for metastatic growth. To elucidate the role of ICAM-1 on the crosstalk between tumor and primary liver sinusoidal endothelial cells ...
Silencing of Sinusoidal DDR1 Reduces Murine Liver Metastasis by Colon Carcinoma
(Nature, 2020-10-27)
Liver metastasis depends on the collagenous microenvironment generated by hepatic sinusoidal cells (SCs). DDR1 is an atypical collagen receptor linked to tumor progression, but whether SCs express DDR1 and its implication ...
Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Malignant Melanoma Microenvironment
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
The role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in cancer progression has been uncovered in recent years. ILCs are classified as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 ILCs, which are characterized by the transcription factors necessary for ...
Ocoxin as a complement to first line treatments in cancer
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2021)
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the most frequent treatment for patients suffering from malignant progression of cancer. Even though new treatments are now being implemented, administration of these chemotherapeutic ...
Evaluation of bioactive sphingolipids in 4-HPR-resistant leukemia cells
(BioMed Central, 2011-10-07)
Background -- N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR, fenretinide) is a synthetic retinoid with potent pro-apoptotic activity against several types of cancer, but little is known regarding mechanisms leading to chemoresistance. ...
Inhibition of the Human Hsc70 System by Small Ligands as a Potential Anticancer Approach
(MDPI, 2021-06-11)
Heat shock protein (Hsp) synthesis is upregulated in a wide range of cancers to provide the appropriate environment for tumor progression. The Hsp110 and Hsp70 families have been associated to cancer cell survival and ...
Docosahexaenoic acid reduces cerebral damage and ameliorates long-term cognitive impairments caused by neonatal hypoxia-ischemia in rats
(Springer, 2011-10-29)
As the interest in the neuroprotective possibilities
of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for brain injury has grown in the recent years, we aimed to investigate the long-term effects of this fatty acid in an experimental model ...
Müller glial cells located in the peripheral retina are more susceptible to high pressure: implications for glaucoma
(BMC, 2024)
Background
Glaucoma, a progressive neurodegenerative disease, is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. This study aims to elucidate the critical role of Müller glia (MG) in the context of retinal ganglion ...
