Alcohol and Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Effect of Lifetime Intake and Hepatitis Virus Infections in Men and Women (2002)

Donato, F., Tagger, A., Gelatti, U., Parrinello, G., Boffetta, P., Albertini, A., ...

The authors investigated the dose-effect relation between alcohol drinking and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in men and women separately, also considering hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus...

Essential Bacillus subtilis genes

Kobayashi, K., Ehrlich, S. D., Albertini, A., Amati, G., Andersen, K. K., Arnaud, M., ...

To estimate the minimal gene set required to sustain bacterial life in nutritious conditions, we carried out a systematic inactivation of Bacillus subtilis genes. Among ≈4,100 genes of the...

Quantification of hepatitis C virus RNA by competitive amplification of RNA from denatured serum and hybridization on microtiter plates.

Ravaggi, A, Zonaro, A, Mazza, C, Albertini, A, Cariani, E

The direct detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA by PCR is widely used to determine the presence of circulating virions. The most relevant limit of this approach is the lack of quantitative...

Distribution of viral genotypes in Italy determined by hepatitis C virus typing by DNA immunoassay.

Ravaggi, A, Zonaro, A, Marin, M G, Puoti, M, Albertini, A, Cariani, E

The distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes in Italy was investigated by PCR amplification of the E1 region and hybridization with type I- and type II-specific nonisotopic probes. Positive...

Clinical significance of serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA as marker of HCV infection.

Marin, M G, Bresciani, S, Puoti, M, Rodella, A, Gussago, A, Ravaggi, A, ...

We have evaluated the clinical significance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA determination by analyzing a group of 221 hospitalized patients with abnormal liver function tests. Serum HCV RNA was...

Association of rat8 with Fyn protein kinase via lipid rafts is required for rat mammary cell differentiation in vitro

Zucchi, I., Prinetti, A., Scotti, M., Valsecchi, V., Valaperta, R., Mento, E., ...

We previously identified rat8 in the pathway involved in epithelial cell differentiation that occurs in the rat mammary gland at pregnancy when tubules and alveoli are formed. rat8, which encodes an...

Gene expression profiles of epithelial cells microscopically isolated from a breast-invasive ductal carcinoma and a nodal metastasis

Zucchi, I., Mento, E., Kuznetsov, V. A., Scotti, M., Valsecchi, V., Simionati, B., ...

Expression profiles of breast carcinomas are difficult to interpret when they are obtained from tissue in toto, which may contain a large proportion of non-cancer cells. To avoid this problem, we...

Evidence of H- and L-chains have co-operative roles in the iron-uptake mechanism of human ferritin.

Levi, S, Yewdall, S J, Harrison, P M, Santambrogio, P, Cozzi, A, Rovida, E, ...

The ability to incorporate iron in vitro was studied in homopolymers of human ferritin L-chain, human ferritin H-chain and its variants and in homopolymer mixtures. The H-chain variants carried amino...

Origin of the sarcosine molecules of actinomycins

Ciferri, O., Albertini, A., Cassani, G.

1. Streptomyces V–187 produces on minimal medium a mixture composed mainly of actinomycin C1 (actinomycin D) and actinomycin A1 (actinomycin I). If sarcosine is added to the medium, the...

Effects of modifications near the 2-, 3- and 4-fold symmetry axes on human ferritin renaturation.

Santambrogio, P, Pinto, P, Levi, S, Cozzi, A, Rovida, E, Albertini, A, ...

Ferritin is a protein of 24 subunits which assemble into a shell with 432 point symmetry. It can be denatured reversibly in acidic guanidine hydrochloride, with the formation of poorly populated...

Transient overexpression of human H- and L-ferritin chains in COS cells.

Corsi, B, Perrone, F, Bourgeois, M, Beaumont, C, Panzeri, M C, Cozzi, A, ...

The understanding of the in vitro mechanisms of ferritin iron incorporation has greatly increased in recent years with the studies of recombinant and mutant ferritins. However, little is known about...
