Estrogen receptor β agonism increases survival in experimentally induced sepsis and ameliorates the genomic sepsis signature: A pharmacogenomic study
(2010)Background. Nonsteroidal agonists have been developed that selectively bind to and activate estrogen receptor β (ERβ) rather than estrogen receptor α (ERα). ERβ is expressed equally in both male and female mammals in ...

Methylome and transcriptome - towards non invasive prenatal diagnosis
(Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2015-05)Η μη-επεμβατική προγεννητική διάγνωση αποτέλεσε ένα από τους πιο απαιτητικούς ερευνητικούς τομείς των δύο τελευταίων δεκαετιών. Η ανακάλυψη της παρουσίας ελεύθερου εμβρυϊκού DNA στην μητρική κυκλοφορία αποτέλεσε κινητήριο ...

The missing kiss of life: Transcriptional activity of the metastasis suppressor gene KiSS1 in early breast cancer
(2007)Background: KiSS-1 is a metastasis suppressor gene encoding a neuropeptide with potent antimetastatic activities in tumour cell lines. The transcriptional activity of the gene and its associations in resected breast cancer ...

Prognostic significance of UBE2C mRNA expression in high-risk early breast cancer. A hellenic cooperative oncology group (HECOG) study
(2012)Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Components of the UPS have recently been implicated in breast cancer progression. In the present study, we sought to explore the ...

A twisted kiss: In vitro and in vivo evidence of genetic variation and suppressed transcription of the metastasis-suppressor gene KiSS1 in early breast cancer
(2010)KiSS-1 is a metastasis suppressor gene, its inactivation linked to advanced tumor stage and dismal prognosis. We studied its mutational status, transcription and protein expression in human cancer cell lines and patients ...
