Microbiome: A Supportive or a Leading Actor in Lung Cancer?Pathobiology - Tập 88 Số 2 - Trang 198-207 - 2021
Diana Martins, Fernando Mendes, Fernando Schmitt
Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite the
major diagnostic and therapeutic innovations, the effect on mortality has been
modest and the overall survival is still poor. Better understanding of the
pathology of these tumors is necessary in order to develop personalized
therapeutic strategies in lung cancer patients. Human microbiome has been
associated with normal... hiện toàn bộ
Overexpression of Fatty Acid Synthase in Oesophageal Squamous Cell Dysplasia and CarcinomaPathobiology - Tập 69 Số 6 - Trang 297-303 - 2001
Tsuyoshi Nemoto, Shinya Terashima, Michihiko Kogure, ユタカ ホシノ, Takashi Kusakabe, Toshimitsu Suzuki, Mitsukazu Gotoh
Objective: The expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS), an enzyme
necessary for de novo fatty acid synthesis, has been examined in several types
of tumours so far, but not in oesophageal cancer and dysplasia. Methods:
We examined the immunohistochemical reactivity of FAS in 4 normal adult
oesophagi, 14 dysplastic oesophageal lesions, and 80 squamous cell carcinomas
and 6 cases with 4... hiện toàn bộ
Role of the Tumor Microenvironment in Breast CancerPathobiology - Tập 82 Số 3-4 - Trang 142-152 - 2015
Savas D. Soysal, Alexandar Tzankov, Simone Muenst
In recent years, it has been shown that breast cancer consists not only of
neoplastic cells, but also of significant alterations in the surrounding stroma
or tumor microenvironment. These alterations are now recognized as a critical
element for breast cancer development and progression, as well as potential
therapeutic targets. Various components of the breast cancer microenvironment,
such as supp... hiện toàn bộ
Increased Risk of Atherosclerosis in Patients with SarcoidosisPathobiology - Tập 84 Số 5 - Trang 258-263 - 2017
Elena Bargagli, Elisabetta Rosi, Massimo Pistolesi, Federico Lavorini, Luca Voltolini, Paola Rottoli
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Recent
studies demonstrated that its pathogenesis is related with enhanced oxidative
stress (protein carbonylation and lipid peroxidation) and alterations in the
circulating lipid profile. Alterations of lipid metabolism (including the
reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and apolipoprotein A1
concentrations) ... hiện toàn bộ
Pathobiological Implications of MUC16/CA125 Expression in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma-Mass Forming TypePathobiology - Tập 79 Số 2 - Trang 101-106 - 2012
Michiyo Higashi, Norishige Yamada, Seiya Yokoyama, Sho Kitamoto, Kazuhiro Tabata, Chihaya Koriyama, Surinder K. Batra, Suguru Yonezawa
Objectives: MUC16 carries the peptide epitope CA125, which is well known
as a marker of ovarian cancer. High serum levels of MUC16 (CA125) have been
reported not only in patients with ovarian cancer but also in patients with
liver diseases. We evaluated the expression of MUC16 in intrahepatic
cholangiocarcinoma-mass forming type (ICC-MF) tissues. Methods: We
examined the expression o... hiện toàn bộ
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Regulates Breast Cancer Progression via β-Catenin ExpressionPathobiology - Tập 78 Số 5 - Trang 253-260 - 2011
Yuhki Yokoyama, Seiji Mori, Yoshinosuke Hamada, Miki Hieda, Naomasa Kawaguchi, Mohammed Shaker, Tao Yu, Katsuhide Yoshidome, Masahiko Tsujimoto, Nariaki Matsuura∥
Objective: The knowledge on the association between platelet-derived
growth factor (PDGF) signaling and epithelial cancers is scarce, although
overexpression of PDGF and PDGF receptors has been reported in some human
mesenchymal tumors. Thus, we studied the effect of PDGF on breast cancer cells
in vitro and the distribution of PDGF in breast cancer tissues. Methods:
The effect of PDG... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Micro-CT in 3D Histology ImagingPathobiology - Tập 83 Số 2-3 - Trang 140-147 - 2016
Michael Senter-Zapata, Kunal Patel, Pinky A. Bautista, Molly Griffin, James Michaelson, Yukako Yagi
Objectives: 3D histology tissue modeling is a useful analytical
technique for understanding anatomy and disease at the cellular level. However,
the current accuracy of 3D histology technology is largely unknown, and errors,
misalignment and missing information are common in 3D tissue reconstruction. We
used micro-CT imaging technology to better understand these issues and the

Chitinase 3 Like-1: An Emerging Molecule Involved in Diabetes and Diabetic ComplicationsPathobiology - Tập 83 Số 5 - Trang 228-242 - 2016
Michelino Di Rosa, Lucia Malaguarnera
Chitinase 3 like-1 (CHI3L1) is a chitinase-like protein member of family 18
chitinases, expressed in innate immune cells and involved in endothelial
dysfunction and tissue remodelling. Since CHI3L1 is highly expressed in a
variety of inflammatory diseases of infectious and non-infectious aetiology, it
is recognised as a non-invasive prognostic biomarker for inflammation. A variety
of studies revea... hiện toàn bộ
<i>SOX</i> Gene Expression in Human Osteoarthritic CartilagePathobiology - Tập 75 Số 3 - Trang 195-199 - 2008
Jochen Haag, Pia Margarethe Gebhard, Thomas Aigner
Objective: While the developmental role of the SOX transcription factors
in fetal chondrocyte differentiation is well documented, much less is known
about the expression of SOX family members in normal and osteoarthritic adult
cartilage. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to present a thorough
analysis of SOX gene expression in normal and osteoarthritic human adult
cartilage... hiện toàn bộ
