High expression of FBP17 in invasive breast cancer cells promotes invadopodia formation
(Humana Press Inc., 2018)
Metastatic spread of the cancer is usually the consequence of the activation of signaling pathways that generate cell motility and tissue invasion. Metastasis involves the reorganization of cytoskeleton and cell shape for ...
Immunomodulatory and antibacterial effects of cystatin 9 against Francisella tularensis
(2013)
Cystatin 9 (CST9) is a member of the type 2 cysteine protease inhibitor family, which has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects that restrain inflammation, but its functions against bacterial infections are unknown. ...
Innate Immune Responses and Antioxidant/Oxidant Imbalance Are Major Determinants of Human Chagas Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Background:We investigated the pathological and diagnostic role of selected markers of inflammation, oxidant/antioxidant status, and cellular injury in human Chagas disease.Methods:Seropositive/chagasic subjects characterized ...
Association of APOE (E2, E3 and E4) gene variants and lipid levels in ischemic stroke, its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke in a South Indian population
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2016)
In the present study we evaluated the association of APOE (E2/E3/E4) polymorphism with ischemic stroke (n = 620), its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke (n = 250) in a South Indian population from Telangana. The genotypes ...
Association of the genetic variants of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Saudi population
(Humana Press Inc., 2014)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic degenerative disease, phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, characterized by high levels of glucose and metabolic complications. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) ...
miR-30c and miR-181a synergistically modulate p53?p21 pathway in diabetes induced cardiac hypertrophy
(Springer New York LLC, 2016)
p53?p21 pathway mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis and is upregulated in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM). We investigated role of microRNAs in regulating p53?p21 pathway in high glucose (HG)-induced cardiomyocyte ...
Oxidative stress in the development of genetic generalised epilepsy: An observational study in southern Indian population
(Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017)
Introduction: Oxidative stress resulting from excessive generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) plays a significant role in neurodegeneration associated with seizures/epilepsy. Aim: To evaluate oxidative stress markers ...
Role of TLR4 (C1196T) and CD14 (C-260T) Polymorphisms in Development of Ischemic Stroke, Its Subtypes and Hemorrhagic Stroke
(Springer New York LLC, 2017)
In the present study, we evaluated the association of TLR4 and CD14 polymorphisms, i.e. C1196T and C-260T, respectively, with ischemic stroke (n?=?700), its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke (n?=?300) in a South Indian ...
Shared and unique common genetic determinants between pediatric and adult celiac disease
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)
Background: Based on age of presentation, celiac disease (CD) is categorised as pediatric CD and adult CD. It however remains unclear if these are genetically and/or phenotypically distinct disorders or just different ...
Variants in KCNQ1 increase type II diabetes susceptibility in South Asians: A study of 3,310 subjects from India and the US
(2011)
Background: Polymorphisms in intron 15 of potassium voltage-gated channel, KQT-like subfamily member 1 (KCNQ1) gene have been associated with type II diabetes (T2D) in Japanese genome-wide association studies (GWAS). More ...
