ER stress-mediated apoptosis in a new mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder characterized by increased bone fragility, fractures, and osteoporosis, and most cases are caused by mutations affecting the type I collagen genes.

Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3, a critical regulator of bone and tooth mineralization

open access: yes, 2016
A recessive mutation called fragilitas ossium (fro) in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 (Smpd3) gene leads to impaired mineralization of bone and tooth extracellular matrix in fro/fro mice. SMPD3 (also known as nSMase2) cleaves sphingomyelin present

B lymphocytes impair osteogenesis by inhibiting BMSC differentiation in osteoporosis

open access: yesImmunobiology
Background: B lymphocytes have been implicated in the inhibition of osteogenesis, but their role in osteoporosis (OP) remains unclear. This study investigates the association between B lymphocytes and impaired osteogenesis in OP patients and explores the

Hyaluronan synthase-2 upregulation protects smpd3-deficient fibroblasts against cell death induced by nutrient deprivation, but not against apoptosis evoked by oxidized LDL

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2015
The neutral type 2 sphingomyelinase (nSMase2) hydrolyzes sphingomyelin and generates ceramide, a major bioactive sphingolipid mediator, involved in growth arrest and apoptosis.

DNA methylation profiling in archived FFPE renal biopsies: a pilot study of epigenetic markers of albuminuria in diabetic kidney disease

open access: yesEpigenetics Reports
Diabetes Mellitus is the leading risk factor for kidney failure, yet current biomarkers such as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) lack tissue specificity and sensitivity for early detection of Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD).

Krm2 overexpression and Lrp5 deficiency result in increased osteoclast number.

open access: yes, 2014
(A) Osteoclasts were identified by histochemical staining of tartrat-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) at day 10 post fracture. (B) Osteoclast number was determined in the peripheral callus at day 10 post fracture.

Prenatal tobacco smoke exposure is associated with childhood DNA CpG methylation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundSmoking while pregnant is associated with a myriad of negative health outcomes in the child. Some of the detrimental effects may be due to epigenetic modifications, although few studies have investigated this hypothesis in detail.ObjectivesTo ...

Identification of molecular and morphological alterations in head and neck cancer

open access: yes, 2020
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) represents the 6th most common cancer type worldwide. A better understanding of the molecular alterations that occur in cells of the tumor and surrounding environment will allow for the identification of new ...

ROLE OF SPHINGOLIPID METABOLISM IN MELANOMA PROGRESSION [PDF]

open access: yes
Gli sfingolipidi sono lipidi polari coinvolti in numerosi processi biologici. Ne consegue che sia gli sfingolipidi che gli enzimi coinvolti nel loro metabolismo, sono importanti per l’omeostasi cellulare e partecipano in numerosi processi fisio ...

High Dose C6 Ceramide-Induced Response in Embryonic Hippocampal Cells

open access: yesBiomolecules
Ceramide is a critical molecule in both the physiology and pathology of the central nervous system. The most studied aspect is its effect on embryonic/stem cells. A salient question is whether low doses of ceramide induce neuronal differentiation without
