Expression and function of alpha-smooth muscle actin during embryonic-stem-cell-derived cardiomyocyte differentiationSophie Clement
Department of Geriatrics, Laboratory of Ageing, Geneva Hospital, Chene Bourg, Geneva, Switzerland
J Cell Sci 120:229-38. 2007..The application of both fusion peptides on beating embryoid bodies impairs frequency. These results suggest specific functional activities for actin isoforms in cardiogenesis and cardiomyocyte contractility...
The hepatitis C virus core protein indirectly induces alpha-smooth muscle actin expression in hepatic stellate cells via interleukin-8Sophie Clement
Division of Clinical Pathology, Geneva University Hospital, 1 rue Michel Servet, 1211 Geneva 4, Switzerland
J Hepatol 52:635-43. 2010..e., to be mediated by virally-driven inflammation, a direct role of HCV in inducing fibrosis deposition has never been entirely excluded...
The hepatitis C virus core protein of genotypes 3a and 1b downregulates insulin receptor substrate 1 through genotype-specific mechanismsValerio Pazienza
Division of Clinical Pathology, University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland
Hepatology 45:1164-71. 2007..CONCLUSION: Despite the small sequence divergence of the HCV core proteins of genotypes 3a and 1b, the 2 proteins appear to interfere with the insulin signaling pathway using genotype-specific mechanisms...
The N-terminal Ac-EEED sequence plays a role in alpha-smooth-muscle actin incorporation into stress fibersSophie Clement
Department of Pathology and Immunology, CMU, Geneva, Switzerland
J Cell Sci 118:1395-404. 2005..Here, we propose a new mechanism of how alpha-smooth-muscle actin is incorporated in stress fibers involving the sequence Ac-EEED...
Intrahepatic mRNA levels of SOCS1 and SOCS3 are associated with cirrhosis but do not predict virological response to therapy in chronic hepatitis CStéphanie Pascarella
Department of Pathology and Immunology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
Liver Int 33:94-103. 2013..The suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) family members have been suggested to affect the rate of virological response to therapy, but the published evidence is conflicting...
Down-regulation of phosphatase and tensin homolog by hepatitis C virus core 3a in hepatocytes triggers the formation of large lipid dropletsSophie Clement
Division of Clinical Pathology, University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland
Hepatology 54:38-49. 2011..CONCLUSION: The down-regulation of PTEN and IRS1 is a critical event leading to the HCV genotype 3a-induced formation of large lipid droplets in hepatocytes...
Fibrogenic potential of human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells in injured liverReto M Baertschiger
Surgical Research Unit, Department of Surgery, University Hospital Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 4:e6657. 2009..These results indicate that MSC in certain circumstances might be harmful due to their fibrogenic potential and this should be considered before potential use of MSC for cell therapy...
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 secreted by adipose tissue induces direct lipid accumulation in hepatocytesSophie Clement
Division of Clinical Pathology, Geneva University Hospital, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
Hepatology 48:799-807. 2008..CONCLUSION: The monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 secreted by adipose tissue may induce steatosis not only recruiting macrophages but also acting directly on hepatocytes...
Gene expression profile of Huh-7 cells expressing hepatitis C virus genotype 1b or 3a core proteinsValerio Pazienza
Division of Clinical Pathology, University Hospitals and University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
Liver Int 29:661-9. 2009..The liver disease expression in chronic hepatitis C patients is variable and may partially depend on the sequence of the infecting viral genotype...
