HPV genotyping from invasive cervical cancer in Chile
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2009)
Objective: To determine the prevalence rates of the different HPV types in cervical cancer lesions in Chile to facilitate the development of prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines effective for that country. ...
Genotyping of human papillomavirus in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in a high-risk population
(2011)
Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for 99.7% of cervical cancers, the second most prevalent neoplasia in women worldwide and the fifth leading cause of death by cancer in this population. In Chile, ...
A comparison of real-time PCR and reverse line blot hybridization in detecting feline haemoplasmas of domestic cats and an analysis of risk factors associated with haemoplasma infections
(2012-07-02)
Abstract
Background
Three species of feline haemoplasma are recognised: Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), and#8216;Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutumand#8217; (CMhm) and and#8216;Candidatus Mycoplasma ...
Catecholamine effects on human melanoma cells evoked by α1-adrenoceptors
(2004-08-01)
The biological effects of catecholamines in mammalian pigment cells are poorly understood. Our previous results showed the presence of α1-adrenoceptors in SK-Mel 23 human melanoma cells. The aims of this work were to (1) ...

SNAIL transcription factor increases the motility and invasive capacity of prostate cancer cells
(2016)
The incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer (PCa) are increasing, and PCa is almost the second-leading cause of cancer-associated mortality in men. During tumor progression, epithelial cells decrease the number ...
Modulation of the response of prostate cancer cell lines to cisplatin treatment using small interfering RNA
(2013)
Cisplatin is one of the most effective and widely used chemotherapeutic agents against several types of human cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms of action are not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the ...
Down-regulation of Egr-1 by siRNA inhibits growth of human prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3
(2009)
The inhibitory effect of a specific small EGR-1
interfering RNA (siRNA) on cell proliferation and the
expression of EGR-1 in human prostate carcinoma cell lines
PC-3 and LNCaP was investigated. To knockdown Egr-1
expression, ...
Cellular and molecular studies of the effects of a selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib in the cardiac cell line H9c2 and their correlation with death mechanisms
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 2014-01-01)
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and evidence indicates a correlation between the inflammatory process and cardiac dysfunction. Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme ...
