In zebrafish, vitellogenic oocytes can incorporate significant amounts of 17β-estradiol released from nearby granulosa cells according to a first-order kinetics, since the steroid low polarity ensures high permeability and affinity for yolk lipids. Estrogen bioactivity is likely, because the materna...

To detect genetic variations affecting gene expression in mouse lung tumor tissue, we carried out a genetic linkage study on the transcriptome of lung tumors induced by urethane in an (A/J x C57BL/6)F4 intercross population, whose individual lung tumor multiplicity (Nlung) is linked to the genotype ...

Several studies have shown the presence of large reservoirs of maternally contributed liposoluble hormones in the yolk of mature teleost oocytes, such as steroid, thyroid and retinoid hormones, as found in other oviparous vertebrates. This supports the idea that maternal hormones could play a major ...

In zebrafish, ovulated oocytes contain both cortisol deposited from the maternal circulation and maternal mRNA for the glucocorticoid receptor (gr mRNA), which is spread as granular structures throughout the central ooplasm. At the 1-cell stage (0.2 hpf), this transcript is relocated by streamers in...

Scientific evidence indicates that genetic factors may contribute to differences in lung cancer risk for individuals with similar levels of tobacco exposure, which is the main environmental risk factor of lung cancer. Moreover, lung cancer patients show large differences in clinical staging and surv...

A Genome-wide association study of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) with an Italian cohort and loci meeting suggestive criteria were confirmed using a replication dataset from a previous Canadian study. The results confirmed associations for IL12A, IL12RB2, and HLA (peak between DQA1 and DQB1) and...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clinically heterogeneous disease characterized by chromosomal aberrations of prognostic significance. Recent studies showed that gain of chromosome 2p is a recurrent lesion in CLL. We investigated the 2p gain and its relationship with prognostic biomarkers in ...

We carried out a cross species cattle-sheep array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) experiment in order to identify copy number variations (CNVs) in the sheep genome analysing animals of Italian dairy breeds (Sarda, Bagnolese, Laticauda, Massese and Valle del Belice) using a tiling oligonucleo...

Recent studies showed that gain of chromosome 2p is a recurrent lesion in CLL. We investigated the 2p gain and its relationship with prognostic biomarkers in ...

Increasing evidences have been recently reported on tumor cells heterogeneity within several malignancies, but data on liver tumours are still lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate and characterize tumor initiating cell (TIC) compartments within human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Afte...
