      Breast Cancer Epigenetics 

      Pitta, Chara A.; Constantinou, Andreas I. (Elsevier Inc., 2015)
      The molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of breast cancer are far from being understood. It is obvious that the initiation of breast cancer as well as its transition toward distinct breast cancer ...

      Equol enhances tamoxifen's anti-tumor activity by induction of caspase-mediated apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells 

      Charalambous, Christina; Pitta, Chara A.; Constantinou, Andreas I. (2013)
      Background: Soy phytoestrogens, such as daidzein and its metabolite equol, have been proposed to be responsible for the low breast cancer rate in Asian women. Since the majority of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer ...

      LiSIs: An online scientific workflow system for virtual screening 

      Kannas, Christos C.; Kalvari, Ioanna; Lambrinidis, George; Neophytou, Christiana M.; Savva, Christiana G.; Kirmitzoglou, Ioannis K.; Antoniou, Zinonas C.; Achilleos, Kleo G.; Scherf, D.; Pitta, Chara A.; Nicolaou, Christos A.; Mikros, Emmanuel; Promponas, Vasilis J.; Gerhauser, C.; Mehta, R. G.; Constantinou, Andreas I.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2015)
      Modern methods of drug discovery and development in recent years make a wide use of computational algorithms. These methods utilise Virtual Screening (VS), which is the computational counterpart of experimental screening. ...

      Reversal of epigenetic ER-β silencing restores sensitivity to tamoxifen in breast cancer cells 

      Pitta, Chara A. (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2013-12)
      Όγκοι μαστού οι οποίοι εκφράζουν τους υποδοχείς οιστρογόνου ER-α και ER-β ανταποκρίνονται αποτελεσματικά στις θεραπευτικές και χημειοπροστατευτικές θεραπείες με τη χρήση επιλεκτικών για τους υποδοχείς οιστρογόνου ρυθμιστικών ...

      Reversal of ER-β silencing by chromatin modifying agents overrides acquired tamoxifen resistance 

      Pitta, Chara A.; Papageorgis, P.; Charalambous, Christina; Constantinou, Andreas I. (2013)
      The purpose of this work is to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying tamoxifen resistance. We show here that ER-β is epigenetically silenced in a cell line with acquired tamoxifen resistance (MCF-7/TAM-R) and this ...
