      Evidence for activation of the unfolded protein response in collagen iv nephropathies 

      Pieri, Myrtani; Stefanou, Charalambos; Zaravinos, Apostolos; Erguler, K.; Stylianou, Konstantinos G.; Lapathitis, Georgios; Karaiskos, Christos; Savva, Isavella; Paraskeva, Revekka; Dweep, H.; Sticht, C.; Anastasiadou, Natassa; Zouvani, Ioanna; Goumenos, Dimitrios S.; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Saleem, M.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Gretz, N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2014)
      Thin-basement-membrane nephropathy (TBMN) and Alport syndrome (AS) are progressive collagen IV nephropathies caused by mutations in COL4A3/A4/A5 genes. These nephropathies invariably present with microscopic hematuria and ...

      A mathematical model of the unfolded protein stress response reveals the decision mechanism for recovery, adaptation and apoptosis 

      Erguler, K.; Pieri, Myrtani; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2013)
      Background: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a major signalling cascade acting in the quality control of protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The cascade is known to play an accessory role in a range ...

      A miR-1207-5p binding site polymorphism abolishes regulation of HBEGF and is associated with disease severity in CFHR5 nephropathy 

      Papagregoriou, Gregory N.; Erguler, K.; Dweep, H.; Voskarides, Konstantinos; Koupepidou, P.; Athanasiou, Yiannis; Pierides, Alkis M.; Gretz, N.; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2012)
      Heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HBEGF) is expressed in podocytes and was shown to play a role in glomerular physiology. MicroRNA binding sites on the 3′UTR of HBEGF were predicted using miRWalk algorithm and ...
