Investigating the role of HIF2a and the type I interferon signalling in cancer hypoxia
(2020-03-27)
La hipoxia es una de las principales características de los tumores sólidos. A medida que el tumor crece, se generan regiones a las que no llega el suministro de oxígeno y nutrientes debido a la distancia que se encuentran ...
Expression and activity profiles of DPP IV/CD26 and NEP/CD10 glycoproteins in the human renal cancer are tumor-type dependent
(BioMed Central, 2010-05)
Background: Cell-surface glycoproteins play critical roles in cell-to-cell recognition, signal transduction and regulation, thus being crucial in cell proliferation and cancer etiogenesis and development. DPP IV and NEP ...
The Activation of Prothrombin Seems to Play an Earlier Role than the Complement System in the Progression of Colorectal Cancer: A Mass Spectrometry Evaluation
(MDPI, 2020-12-11)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of death in men and the third in women. This work deals with the study of the low molecular weight protein fraction of sera from patients who underwent surgery for CRC and who ...
Soluble PD-L1 Is an Independent Prognostic Factor in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
(MDPI, 2021-02-07)
(1). Background: Immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) is being used to evaluate advanced malignancies with potential response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We evaluated ...
Clinical Implications of (Pro)renin Receptor (PRR) Expression in Renal Tumours
(MDPI, 2021-02-10)
(1) Background: Renal cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in Western countries, with an unpredictable clinical outcome, partly due to its high heterogeneity and the scarcity of reliable biomarkers of tumour ...
Altered Tissue and Plasma Levels of Fibroblast Activation Protein-α (FAP) in Renal Tumours
(MDPI, 2020-10-16)
(1) Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a heterogeneous and complex disease with only partial response to therapy, high incidence of metastasis and recurrences, and scarce reliable biomarkers indicative of progression ...

Sex differences in the aging pattern of renin–angiotensin system serum peptidases
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-03)
Background: Serum peptidases, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), aminopeptidase N (APN), and aminopeptidase A (APA), are important elements of ...
Investigating the role of miRNA binding in B-cell lymphoma
(2018-12-20)
En el presente trabajo se ha estudiado la función de los microRNAs en linfoma de célula B. Por un lado se analizó la presencia de mutaciones en sitios de unión de microRNAs que habían sido identificadas en pacientes con ...
