RPL5 on 1p22.1 is recurrently deleted in multiple myeloma and its expression is linked to bortezomib response
Chromosomal region 1p22 is deleted in ⩾20% of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, suggesting the presence of an unidentified tumor suppressor. Using high-resolution genomic profiling, we delimit a 58 kb minimal de...

Galectin-1 suppression delineates a new strategy to inhibit myeloma-induced angiogenesis and tumoral growth in vivo
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is involved in tumoral angiogenesis, hypoxia and metastases. Actually the Gal-1 expression profile in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and its pathophysiological role in MM-induced angiogenesi...

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α suppression in myeloma cells blocks tumoral growth in vivo inhibiting angiogenesis and bone destruction
Hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1α) is overexpressed in multiple myeloma (MM) cells within the hypoxic microenvironment. Herein, we explored the effect of persistent HIF-1α inhibition by a lentiv...

HOXB7 expression by myeloma cells regulates their pro-angiogenic properties in multiple myeloma patients
The deregulation of the homeobox genes as homeoboxB (HOXB)-7 has been previously associated to tumor progression and angiogenesis; here we investigated the potential role of HOXB7 in the pro-angiogenic properties...

Human myeloma cells express the bone regulating gene Runx2/Cbfa1 and produce osteopontin that is involved in angiogenesis in multiple myeloma patients
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional bone matrix glycoprotein that is involved in angiogenesis, cell survival and tumor progression. In this study we show that human myeloma cells directly produce OPN and ex...

Silencing of endogenous IGFBP-5 by micro RNA interference affects proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of neuroblastoma cells
Signal transduction through the IGF axis is implicated in proliferation, differentiation and survival during development and adult life. The IGF axis includes the IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) that bind IGFs w...

Cyclin D1-dependent regulation of B-myb activity in early stages of neuroblastoma differentiation
Levels of the transcription factor B-myb must be down-regulated to allow terminal differentiation of neuroectodermal cells and yet its constitutive expression induces early markers of neural differentiation. T...

Natural Gas Hazard (CO2, 222 Rn) within a Quiescent Volcanic Region and Its Relations with Tectonics: The Case of the Ciampino-Marino Area, Alban Hills Volcano, Italy
Groundwater surveys were performed by detailed(around 300 sites) grid-analysis of water temperature, pH, redox potential, electrical conductivity, 222Rn, alkalinity and by calculating the pCO2, throughout the Cia...

Evaluation of indeterminate sera for hepatitis C virus by assays using synthetic peptides
The development of new immunodiagnostic systems to study antibodies anti-HCV based on the use of synthetic peptides are potentially very important in the evaluation of indeterminate samples. We have compared t...

Comparison between the minimum detection limits of radioisotope X-ray fluorescence technique and activation analysiś with a low intensity252Cf neutron source
A comparative study of radioactive X-ray fluorescence and neutron activation analysis using a low-intensity252Cf source has been carried out. X-ray fluorescence proved to be superior to NAA if ion-exchange precon...
