Research Project
1) Role of the autophagic activation in the clearance of neurotoxic peptides in an in vitro model of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia caused by elevated level of 39 to 42 aminoacids β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) and their accumulation in neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, oxidative stress. The aim of my work is to study how and in what way the autophagy plays a role in counteracting the toxic effect of Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42) peptides in an in vitro model of this disease.
2) Identification of circulating miRNA markers in pediatric patients affected by celiac disease
This project will be in collaboration with the Auxology Research Center of Pediatric Clinic, IRCCS Foundation Policlinico San Matteo of Pavia. The role of microRNA (miRNA) regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in celiac disease is little studied. It has been shown that miRNAs play an important role in regulating gene expression in many biological processes in physiological and pathological conditions including autoimmune disorders such as celiac disease. Furthermore, it has been described that miRNAs are important for the differentiation and function of the intestinal epithelium in mice. Today only one miRNA (miR449a) has been identified and is over-expressed pediatric patients with celiac disease. The purpose of this project is to conduct a pilot study on the expression of miRNAs in peripheral blood of pediatric patients with celiac disease and healthy subjects matched for age and sex, for a better understanding of the transcriptional regulation of genetic determinants involved in CD.
