Journal Article
Felfel, R., Ahmed, I., Parsons, A., Palmer, G., Sottile, V., & Rudd, C. (2013). Cytocompatibility, degradation, mechanical property retention and ion release profiles for phosphate glass fibre reinforced composite rods. Materials Science and Engineering: C, 33(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msec.2012.12.089

Fibre reinforced composites have recently received much attention as potential bone fracture fixation applications. Bioresorbable composites based on poly lactic acid (PLA) and phosphate based glass fibre were investigated according to ion release, d...

The regulation of human papillomavirus gene expression by the E2 protein: keeping a finger in every pie (2012)
Book Chapter
Graham, S. V., & Gaston, K. L. (2012). The regulation of human papillomavirus gene expression by the E2 protein: keeping a finger in every pie. In K. Gaston (Ed.), Small DNA tumour viruses (37--53). Caister Academic Press

The human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is around 8000 base pairs in length and it encodes only eight proteins, a limited number of protein isoforms and no known microRNAs. Despite this relative paucity of genes and gene products these viruses are high...

Dasatinib inhibits leukaemic cell survival by decreasing PRH/Hhex phosphorylation resulting in increased repression of VEGF signalling genes (2012)
Journal Article
Noy, P., Gaston, K., & Jayaraman, P.-S. (2012). Dasatinib inhibits leukaemic cell survival by decreasing PRH/Hhex phosphorylation resulting in increased repression of VEGF signalling genes. Leukemia Research, 36(11), 1434-1437. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leukres.2012.07.013

The PRH/Hhex transcription factor represses multiple genes in the VEGF signalling pathway (VSP) to inhibit myeloid cell survival. Protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates PRH and counteracts the inhibitory effect of this protein on cell survival by blocking...

Protein kinase CK2 inactivates PRH/Hhex using multiple mechanisms to de-repress VEGF-signalling genes and promote cell survival (2012)
Journal Article
Noy, P., Sawasdichai, A., Jayaraman, P.-S., & Gaston, K. (2012). Protein kinase CK2 inactivates PRH/Hhex using multiple mechanisms to de-repress VEGF-signalling genes and promote cell survival. Nucleic Acids Research, 40(18), 9008--9020. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gks687

Protein kinase CK2 promotes cell survival and the activity of this kinase is elevated in several cancers including chronic myeloid leukaemia. We have shown previously that phosphorylation of the Proline-Rich Homeodomain protein (PRH/Hhex) by CK2 inhi...

The proline rich homeodomain protein PRH/Hhex forms stable oligomers that are highly resistant to denaturation (2012)
Journal Article
Shukla, A., Burton, N. M., Jayaraman, P.-S., & Gaston, K. (2012). The proline rich homeodomain protein PRH/Hhex forms stable oligomers that are highly resistant to denaturation. PLoS ONE, 7(4), Article e35984. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0035984

Background: Many transcription factors control gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences at or near the genes that they regulate. However, some transcription factors play more global roles in the control of gene expression by altering the...

Cytoplasmic RNA in undifferentiated neural stem cells: a potential label-free Raman spectral marker for assessing the undifferentiated status (2012)
Journal Article
Ghita, A., Pascut, F. C., Mather, M., Sottile, V., & Notingher, I. (2012). Cytoplasmic RNA in undifferentiated neural stem cells: a potential label-free Raman spectral marker for assessing the undifferentiated status. Analytical Chemistry, 84(7), https://doi.org/10.1021/ac202994e

Raman microspectroscopy (rms) was used to identify, image, and quantify potential molecular markers for label-free monitoring the differentiation status of live neural stem cells (NSCs) in vitro. Label-free noninvasive techniques for characterization...

Control of redox homeostasis is crucial for a number of cellular processes with deregulation leading to a number of serious consequences including oxidative damage such induction of DNA base lesions. The DNA lesions caused by oxidative damage are pri... Read More about Base Excision Repair, the Redox Environment and Therapeutic Implications.

Differences in the pattern and regulation of mineral deposition in human cell lines of osteogenic and non-osteogenic origin (2011)
Journal Article
Rashidi, H., Strohbuecker, S., Jackson, L., Kalra, S., Blake, A. J., France, L., Tufarelli, C., & Sottile, V. (2011). Differences in the pattern and regulation of mineral deposition in human cell lines of osteogenic and non-osteogenic origin. Cells Tissues Organs, 195(6), https://doi.org/10.1159/000329861

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used as a cellular model of bone formation, and can mineralize in vitro in response to osteogenic medium (OM). It is unclear, however, whether this property is specific to cells of mesenchy...
