Pericyte adhesion is impaired on extracellular matrix produced by endothelial cells in high hexose concentrationsE Beltramo
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Torino, Italy
Diabetologia 45:416-9. 2002..We aimed at checking whether pericyte interaction with extracellular matrix produced by endothelial cells is influenced by the hexose concentrations in which endothelial cells are cultured...

Laboratory of Diabetic Retinopathy, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Torino, Italy
Diabetes Metab Res Rev 25:566-76. 2009....
Effects of thiamine and benfotiamine on intracellular glucose metabolism and relevance in the prevention of diabetic complicationsElena Beltramo
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Corso AM Dogliotti, 14, 10126, Turin, Italy
Acta Diabetol 45:131-41. 2008..Clinical trials on diabetic patients would be necessary to test this vitamin as a potential and inexpensive approach to the prevention and/or treatment of diabetic vascular complications...
Effects of mechanical stress and high glucose on pericyte proliferation, apoptosis and contractile phenotypeElena Beltramo
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Corso AM Dogliotti 14, I 10126 Turin, Italy
Exp Eye Res 83:989-94. 2006....
Thiamine and benfotiamine prevent apoptosis induced by high glucose-conditioned extracellular matrix in human retinal pericytesElena Beltramo
Laboratory of Diabetic Retinopathy, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Torino, Italy
Diabetes Metab Res Rev 25:647-56. 2009..Since human and bovine pericytes may behave differently in conditions mimicking the diabetic milieu, we verified the behaviour of human retinal pericytes cultured on HG-conditioned ECM...
Thiamine and benfotiamine prevent increased apoptosis in endothelial cells and pericytes cultured in high glucoseE Beltramo
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Italy
Diabetes Metab Res Rev 20:330-6. 2004..We now aim at verifying the effects of thiamine and benfotiamine on cell cycle, apoptosis, and expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells and pericytes, under high ambient glucose...
A study of capillary pericyte viability on extracellular matrix produced by endothelial cells in high glucoseE Beltramo
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, C so AM Dogliotti 14, 10126 Torino, Italy
Diabetologia 46:409-15. 2003..As we showed previously that pericyte adhesion is impaired on extracellular matrix produced by endothelial cells in high hexose concentrations, we aimed to verify if altered adhesion could influence pericyte viability and replication...
Effects of protein kinase C inhibition and activation on proliferation and apoptosis of bovine retinal pericytesF Pomero
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Torino, Italy
Diabetologia 46:416-9. 2003..Protein kinase C inhibition, proposed for the treatment of diabetic macular edema and proliferative retinopathy, might accelerate pericyte dropout in earlier stages when these cells are still present in retinal capillaries...
Failure of angiotensin II and insulin to stimulate transforming growth factor-beta1. Release from cultured bovine retinal pericytesP Limone
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Torino, Italy
Diabetes Metab 28:499-503. 2002..We therefore aimed at evaluating the possible effects of Angiotensin-II on TGF-B1 secretion by cultured retinal pericytes (BRP)...
Effect of prolactin on carcinoembryonic antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte response induced by dendritic cellsL Matera
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Turin, Italy
Clin Exp Immunol 137:320-8. 2004..05) and decreased (P < 0.05) by 200 ng PRL. Pre-incubation of CTL with an antibody specific for the PRL-R almost completely abrogated this effect...
