ROS-NF kappa I' mediates TGF-beta 1-induced expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and cell invasion
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2010)
TGF-beta 1 has been postulated as a pro-oncogenic factor in the late step of the tumoral progression. In transformed cells, TGF-beta 1 enhances the capacity to degrade the extracellular matrix, cell invasiveness and ...
Coexistence of emerging bacterial pathogens in ixodes ricinus ticks in Serbia
(EDP Sciences S A, Les Ulis Cedex A, 2010)
The list of tick-borne pathogens is long, varied and includes viruses, bacteria, protozoa and nematodes. As all of these agents can exist in ticks, their co-infections hove been previously reported. We studied co-infections ...
The Role of the TGF-beta Coreceptor Endoglin in Cancer
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2010)
Endoglin (CD105) is an auxiliary membrane receptor of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) that interacts with type I and type II TGF-beta receptors and modulates TGF-beta signaling. Endoglin is overexpressed in the ...
Combined effect of IL-17 and blockade of nitric oxide biosynthesis on haematopoiesis in mice
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Aim: The study was undertaken to extend our investigation concerning both the in vivo activity of interleukin (IL)-17 and the specific role of nitric oxide (NO) in IL-17-induced effects in the process of haematopoiesis. ...
Seasonal Variations in Human Toxoplasma Infection in Serbia
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2010)
Background: Seasonal variations in the occurrence of toxoplasmosis have been studied only sporadically. We thus examined the seasonal distribution of acute toxoplasmosis in Serbia during a 4-year period (2004-2008). Materials ...
Syphacia obvelata modifies mitogen-activated protein kinases and nitric oxide synthases expression in murine bone marrow cells
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2010)
Syphacia obvelata is a rodent nematode parasite with high prevalence in laboratory mice. In our previous work we have demonstrated that this gut-dwelling helminth induces significant hematopoietic changes, characterized ...
Synthesis, structure and characterization of novel Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-formylpyridine and selenosemicarbazide Antiproliferative activity of the synthesized complexes and related selenosemicarbazone complexes
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2010)
Two novel Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-formylpyridine and selenosemicarbazide were synthesized. The structure of Cd(II) complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. The ligand is ...
Seasonality of trichinellosis in patients hospitalized in Belgrade, Serbia
(EDP Sciences S A, Les Ulis Cedex A, 2010)
A retrospective study of the course and outcome of trichinellosis in a series of 50 patients hospitalized at the Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Belgrade between 2001 and 2008 was performed. Clinical ...
Physiological and public health basis for assessing micronutrient requirements in children and adolescents. The EURRECA network
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge relating to the nutritional requirements and corresponding recommended nutrient intake values of children and adolescents for micronutrients and specificities related ...
Rac1 modulates TGF-beta 1-mediated epithelial cell plasticity and MMP9 production in transformed keratinocytes
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) activates Rac1 GTPase in mouse transformed keratinocytes. Expression of a constitutively active Q61LRac1 mutant induced an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) linked ...
