Banfi C, Brioschi M, Vicentini L, Cattaneo M
Int J Mol Sci . 2022 Nov; 23(21). PMID: 36362273
The human long pentraxin PTX3 has complex regulatory roles at the crossroad of innate immunity, inflammation, and tissue repair. PTX3 can be produced by various cell types, including vascular endothelial...

Cattaneo M, Banfi C, Brioschi M, Lattuada D, Vicentini L
Biol Sex Differ . 2021 Jan; 12(1):7. PMID: 33413676
Background: Cellular sex has rarely been considered as a biological variable in preclinical research, even when the pathogenesis of diseases with predictable sex differences is studied. In this perspective, proteomics,...

Barbieri F, Wurth R, Pattarozzi A, Verduci I, Mazzola C, Cattaneo M, et al.
Front Pharmacol . 2018 Sep; 9:899. PMID: 30186163
The antidiabetic biguanide metformin exerts antiproliferative effects in different solid tumors. However, during preclinical studies, metformin concentrations required to induce cell growth arrest were invariably within the mM range, thus...

Vanetti C, Bifari F, Vicentini L, Cattaneo M
PLoS One . 2017 Dec; 12(12):e0189528. PMID: 29232396
Charcoal-stripped serum (CSS) is a well-accepted method to model effects of sex hormones in cell cultures. We have recently shown that human endothelial cells (ECs) fail to growth and to...

Vanetti C, Vicentini L, Cattaneo M
Endocr Res . 2016 Apr; 41(4):325-333. PMID: 27044317
Aims: In vitro studies on hormone biological activities are commonly performed on cells cultured in nominally hormone-free media consisting of phenol-red-free media supplemented with charcoal-stripped (CS) serum. These media are...

Cappellini E, Vanetti C, Vicentini L, Cattaneo M
Life Sci . 2015 Apr; 131:30-6. PMID: 25896663
Aims: Eps8 is an actin-binding protein which has been proposed as a regulator of cancer cell motility and invasion. However, nothing much is known about its contribution to the invasive...

Addis R, Campesi I, Fois M, Capobianco G, Dessole S, Fenu G, et al.
Biol Sex Differ . 2014 Dec; 5(1):18. PMID: 25535548
Background: Human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) are widely used to study the endothelial physiology and pathology that might be involved in sex and gender differences detected at the cardiovascular level....

Cattaneo M, Cappellini E, Vicentini L
Exp Cell Res . 2012 Jun; 318(15):1901-12. PMID: 22683923
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant human primary brain tumor, and its infiltrative nature represents the leading cause for the failure of therapies and tumor recurrences. It is therefore...

Cattaneo M, Cappellini E, Benfante R, Ragni M, Omodeo-Sale F, Nisoli E, et al.
PLoS One . 2012 Jan; 6(12):e29680. PMID: 22216344
Background: Endothelial dysfunction in widely diffuse disorders, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and senescence, is associated with nitric oxide (NO) deficiency. Here, the behavioural and molecular consequences deriving from NO...

Cattaneo M, Lucci G, Vicentini L
Exp Cell Res . 2009 Jul; 315(18):3210-9. PMID: 19563802
We previously reported that the hypothalamic hormone oxytocin (OT), best known for its uterotonic activity, also stimulates migration and invasion in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), thus suggesting a...
