Somatostatin Receptor Splicing Variant sst5TMD4 Overexpression in Glioblastoma Is Associated with Poor Survival, Increased Aggressiveness Features and Somatostatin Analogs Resistance
(MDPI, 2022)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and lethal brain tumor. Current standard treatment consists of surgery followed by radiotherapy/chemotherapy; however, this is only a palliative approach with a mean post-operative ... -
Somatostatin, cortistatin, ghrelin and their receptors: From an endocrine system to a pleiotropic system of pathophysiologic relevance
(Universidad de Córdoba, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2010)Somatostatina (SST)/cortistatina (CST) y ghrelina son los más conocidos miembros de dos sistemas complejos formados por un gran número de péptidos y receptores (ssts y GHS-Rs, respectivamente), que, aunque exhiben claras ... -
Spliceosomal profiling identifies EIF4A3 as a novel oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma acting through the modulation of FGFR4 splicing
(Wiley, 2022)Introduction: Altered splicing landscape is an emerging cancer hallmark; however, the dysregulation and implication of the cellularmachinery controlling this process (spliceosome components and splicing factors) in ... -
Splicing factor SF3B1 is overexpressed and implicated in the aggressiveness and survival of hepatocellular carcinoma
(Elsevier, 2020)Splicing alterations represent an actionable cancer hallmark. Splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) is a crucial splicing factor that can be targeted pharmacologically (e.g. pladienolide-B). Here, we show that SF3B1 is ... -
Splicing Machinery is Dysregulated in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors and is Associated with Aggressiveness Features
(MDPI, 2019)Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) constitute approximately 15% of all brain tumors, and most have a sporadic origin. Recent studies suggest that altered alternative splicing and, consequently, appearance of aberrant ... -
Subpoblaciones de células NK: cambios con la inmunosenescencia
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2019)La inmunosenescencia se define como un deterioro progresivo de la función inmune asociada a la edad, este estado produce cambios que dan lugar a una remodelación del sistema inmunológico que afecta a la inmunidad innata y ... -
Synergistic antibacterial effects of amoxicillin and gold nanoparticles: a therapeutic option to combat antibiotic resistance
(MDPI, 2023)Compacted Au@16-mph-16/DNA-AMOX (NSi) nanosystems were prepared from amoxicillin (AMOX) and precursor Au@16-mph-16 gold nanoparticles (Ni) using a Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biopolymer as a glue. The synthesized nanocarrier ... -
Terapia hormonal de GnRH y PGF2a en el puerperio del ganado vacuno de leche. I. Acción en el acortamiento del ciclo reproductivo
(Universidad de Córdoba, Servicio de Publicaciones, 1992)Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue in combination with prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2a) was adiministered to VT in order to determine if it hastened the recovery of ovarian activity and uterine involution during ... -
The Fusarium oxysporum gnt2, Encoding a Putative NAcetylglucosamine Transferase, Is Involved in Cell Wall Architecture and Virulence
(Public Library of Science, 2013)With the aim to decipher the molecular dialogue and cross talk between Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersci and its host during infection and to understand the molecular bases that govern fungal pathogenicity, we analysed ... -
The ghrelin O-acyltransferase–ghrelin system reduces TNF-α-induced apoptosis and autophagy in human visceral adipocytes
(SpringerLink, 2012)Aims/hypothesis Proinflammatory and proapoptotic cytokines such as TNF-α are upregulated in human obesity. We evaluated the association between ghrelin isoforms (acylated and desacyl ghrelin) and TNF-α in obesity and ... -
The l-α-Lysophosphatidylinositol/GPR55 system and its potential role in human obesity
(American Diabetes Asociation, 2012)GPR55 is a putative cannabinoid receptor, and l-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is its only known endogenous ligand. We investigated 1) whether GPR55 is expressed in fat and liver; 2) the correlation of both GPR55 and LPI ... -
The Lin28/Let-7 System in Early Human Embryonic Tissue and Ectopic Pregnancy
(PLOS, 2014)Our objective was to determine the expression of the elements of the Lin28/Let-7 system, and related microRNAs (miRNAs), in early stages of human placentation and ectopic pregnancy, as a means to assess the potential role ... -
The potential role of the adipokine HMGB1 in obesity and insulin resistance. Novel effects on adipose tissue biology
(Elsevier, 2021)Discovery of the adipose tissue as a major source of signaling molecules almost three decades ago set a novel physiological paradigm that paved the way for the identification of metabolic organs as endocrine organs. ... -
The Role of Autophagy in White Adipose Tissue Function: Implications for Metabolic Health
(MDPI, 2020)White adipose tissue (WAT) is a highly adaptive endocrine organ that continuously remodels in response to nutritional cues. WAT expands to store excess energy by increasing adipocyte number and/or size. Failure in WAT ... -
The Somatostatin Analogue Octreotide Inhibits Growth of Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumour Cells
(Public Library Of Science (PLOS), 2012)Octreotide is a widely used synthetic somatostatin analogue that significantly improves the management of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Octreotide acts through somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). However, the molecular mechanisms ... -
