Laboratorio di Endocrinologia Oncologica, Dipartimenti di Fisiopatologia Clinica and Oncologia, Universita di Torino, I 10126 Turin, Italy
Int J Oncol 23:429-36. 2003..This is the first demonstration of a selective up-regulation of TNF-RI in cancer cachexia and suggests that local production of TNF-alpha and IL-6 is a corner-stone in the induction/maintenance of this syndrome...
Reduced protein degradation rates and low expression of proteolytic systems support skeletal muscle hypertrophy in transgenic mice overexpressing the c-ski oncogenePaola Costelli
Dipartimento di Medicina ed Oncologia Sperimentale, Universita di Torino, Torino, Italy
Cancer Lett 200:153-60. 2003..The down-regulation of protein breakdown is paralleled by decreased expression of genes belonging to the lysosomal as well as to the ATP-ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathways...
