Lysosomal destabilization and cathepsin B contributes for cytochrome c release and caspase activation in embelin‐induced apoptosisMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 49 Số 4 - Trang 324-336 - 2010

AbstractXIAP is an important antiapoptotic protein capable of conferring
resistance to cancer cells. Embelin, the small molecular inhibitor of XIAP,
possesses wide spectrum of biological activities with strong inhibition of
nuclear factor kappa B and downstream antiapoptotic genes. However, the
mechanism of its cell death induction is not known. Our studies using colon
cancer cells lacking p53 and... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractSeveral solid tumors have now been shown to contain stem cell‐like cells
called cancer stem cells (CSC). These cells, although generally rare, appear to
be highly tumorigenic and may be the cells that drive tumor formation, maintain
tumor homeostasis, and mediate tumor metastasis. In this Perspective, we first
provide our insight on how a CSC should be defined. We then summarize our

Gemcitabine‐induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition‐like changes sustain chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer cells of mesenchymal‐like phenotypeMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 58 Số 11 - Trang 1985-1997 - 2019

AbstractGrowing body of evidence suggests that epithelial‐mesenchymal transition
(EMT) is a critical process in tumor progression and chemoresistance in
pancreatic cancer (PC). The aim of this study was to analyze the role of
EMT‐like changes in acquisition of resistance to gemcitabine in pancreatic cells
of the mesenchymal or epithelial phenotype. Therefore, chemoresistant BxPC‐3,

Polyamine‐mediated regulation of protein acetylation in murine skin and tumorsMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 46 Số 8 - Trang 611-617 - 2007

AbstractOverexpression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), resulting in increased
polyamine metabolism, is a common feature of epithelial tumors. Polyamines play
a complex role in promoting tumor development, affecting diverse cellular
processes, including gene expression. One way polyamines may affect gene
expression is to modulate the multiprotein complexes comprised of transcription
factors and c... hiện toàn bộ
BRCA1 and acetyl‐CoA carboxylase: The metabolic syndrome of breast cancerMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 157-163 - 2008

AbstractBreast cancer‐associated mutations affecting the highly‐conserved
C‐terminal BRCT domains of the tumor suppressor gene breast cancer
susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) fully disrupt the ability of BRCA1 to interact
with acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase alpha (ACCA), the rate‐limiting enzyme
catalyzing de novo fatty acid biogenesis. Specifically, BRCA1 interacts solely
with the phosphorylated (inac... hiện toàn bộ
Ki‐ras oncogene mutations in tumors and DNA adducts formed by benz[j]aceanthrylene and benzo[a]pyrene in the lungs of strain A/J miceMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 186-192 - 1993

AbstractStrain A/J mice received intraperitoneal injections of
benz[j]aceanthrylene (B[j]A) or benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). At 24, 48, and 72 h,
lung tissues were removed for analysis of B[a]P‐ or B[j]A‐derived DNA adduct
formation during the first 3 d of exposure. One group of mice exposed to these
hydrocarbons was kept for 8 mo to determine lung tumor multiplicity, the
occurrence of mutations in codo... hiện toàn bộ
Human cDNA‐Expressed Cytochrome P450 IA2: Mutagen Activation and Substrate SpecificityMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 192-198 - 1989

AbstractThe vaccinia virus cDNA expression system was used to produce human
cytochrome P450 IA2 in a hepatoma cell line that is devoid of significant basal
levels of P450. The expressed enzyme yielded a reduced carbon monoxide‐bound
difference spectrum with a λmax of 449 nm. Catalytic activities and mutagen
activation ability of the human enzyme were assessed and directly compared with
results obt... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of FOXJ1 in hepatocellular carcinoma: Correlation with patients' prognosis and tumor cell proliferationMolecular Carcinogenesis - Tập 52 Số 8 - Trang 647-659 - 2013

AbstractFOXJ1 is a member of the forkhead box (FOX) family of transcription
factors. Recent studies suggested that FOXJ1 may function as a tumor suppressor
gene in breast cancer. To investigate the potential roles of FOXJ1 in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), expression of FOXJ1 was first examined in eight
paired frozen HCC and adjacent noncancerous liver tissues by Western blot, and
we found that F... hiện toàn bộ
