      Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a well-established nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, whose function as a tumor suppressor is favored by, but not entirely dependent on, the presence of E-cadherin. Tumors are frequently hypoxic and the ...

      During intercellular communication, cells release extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, which contain proteins, ncRNAs and mRNAs that can influence proliferation and/or trigger apoptosis in recipient cells, and have ...
    • Ortiz, Rina; Díaz Jara, Jorge; Díaz, Natalia; Lobos González, Lorena; Cárdenas, Areli; Contreras, Pamela; Díaz, María Inés; Otte, Ellen; Cooper- White, Justin; Torres Gómez, Vicente; Leyton Campos, Lisette; Quest, Andrew F. G. (Impact Journals LLC, 2016)
      Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a scaffolding protein that plays a dual role in cancer. In advanced stages of this disease, CAV1 expression in tumor cells is associated with enhanced metastatic potential, while, at earlier stages, ...

G.; Kogan Bocian, Marcelo (BMC, 2020)
      Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential for targeted therapy, as they have a natural ability to pass through biological barriers and, depending on their origin, can preferentially accumulate at ...

      Aim: To track early events during lung metastasis, we labeled cells expressing (B16F10(CAV1)) or lacking CAV1 (B16F10(mock)) with gold nanoparticles conjugated to the peptide TAT (AuNPs-PEG-TAT). Methods: B16F10 expressing ...
    • Sapag Muñoz de la Peña, Amalia; Irarrázaval Aguilera, Thergiorg; Lobos González, Lorena; Muñoz Brauning, Carlos; Quintanilla González, María Elena; Tampier de Jong, Lutske (Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
      Ribozyme genes were designed to reduce voluntary alcohol drinking in a rat model of alcohol dependence. Acetaldehyde generated from alcohol in the liver is metabolized by the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) ...

      Background Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common and early developing complication of diabetes mellitus, and the key contributor for foot ulcers development, with no specific therapies available. Different studies ...

      Background: Multiple aberrant microRNA expression has been reported in gastric cancer. Among them, microRNA-335-5p (miR-335), a microRNA regulated by DNA methylation, has been reported to possess both tumor suppressor and ...
