Daniele A, Divella R, Quaranta M, Mattioli V, Casamassima P, Angelo Paradiso , et al.
Clin Biochem . 2013 Dec; 47(3):184-90. PMID: 24355694
Background And Aims: Trans-hepatic arterial chemo-embolization is the most commonly used treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The prognostic impact of tumor biomarkers has not therefore been evaluated in this treatment....

Anticancer Res . 2013 Apr; 33(4):1491-7. PMID: 23564790
Background: The presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood is a prerequisite for the formation of distant metastases. Transforming growth factor-βeta (TGF-β) and Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Ligand-1...

Garrisi V, Tufaro A, Trerotoli P, Bongarzone I, Quaranta M, Ventrella V, et al.
PLoS One . 2012 Dec; 7(11):e49631. PMID: 23226214
Epidemiological studies suggest a possible association between BMI, diagnosis and clinical-pathological breast cancer characteristics but biological bases for this relationship still remain to be ascertained. Several biological mechanisms play a...

Divella R, Mazzocca A, Gadaleta C, Simone G, Angelo Paradiso , Quaranta M, et al.
Cancer Genomics Proteomics . 2012 Jul; 9(4):193-8. PMID: 22798504
Hepatocarcinogenesis is heavily influenced by chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) infection. Elevated levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (SERPINE1/PAI-1) have been reported in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated...

Bellizzi A, Sebastian S, Ceglia P, Centonze M, Divella R, Manzillo E, et al.
J Cell Physiol . 2012 Jun; 228(2):408-15. PMID: 22740326
Although relatively good therapeutic results are achieved in non-advanced cancer, the prognosis of the advanced colon cancer still remains poor, dependent on local or distant recurrence of the disease. One...

Divella R, Daniele A, Gadaleta C, Tufaro A, Venneri M, Angelo Paradiso , et al.
Anticancer Res . 2012 Jan; 32(1):141-5. PMID: 22213299
Background: The aim of our study was to improve the detection of HCC by measuring alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in addition to other molecular markers by estimating the plasma concentration of transforming...

In Vivo . 2011 Oct; 25(6):895-901. PMID: 22021682
A functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the 5-hidroxytryptamine transporter gene (5-HTTLPR), alters its transcription. Short allele (SS) variation decreases the transcriptional efficacy of serotonin, causing psychiatric disorders, major...

Hepatology . 2011 Jun; 54(3):920-30. PMID: 21674557
Unlabelled: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs in fibrotic liver as a consequence of underlying cirrhosis. The goal of this study was to investigate how the interaction between HCC cells and stromal...

Clin Sci (Lond) . 2011 Mar; 121(4):159-68. PMID: 21413933
Activated HSCs (hepatic stellate cells) are the main source of extracellular matrix proteins present in cirrhotic liver on which HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) commonly develops. HCC cells behave differently according to...

Lasalandra C, Coviello M, Falco G, Divella R, Trojano G, Laterza A, et al.
Int J Gynecol Cancer . 2010 May; 20(4):507-12. PMID: 20442584
Introduction: One of the most specific and critical regulators of angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which regulates endothelial proliferation, permeability, and survival. Vascular endothelial growth factor is an...
