Soluble interleukin‐6 receptor (sIL‐6R) was found to be spontaneously released from human myeloma cell line U266 cells into culture supernatant, and was quantitatively measured with a fluorescence sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay employing antibodies specific to IL‐6R. The supernatant IL‐6R was generated only from IL‐6R‐positive cell lines; myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and RPMI178...... hiện toàn bộ
Interaction of Interleukin‐1 and Interferon‐γ on Fibroblast Growth Factor‐induced AngiogenesisWiley - Tập 85 Số 5 - Trang 522-529 - 1994
K Norioka, Toshihiro Mitaka, Yohichi Mochizuki, Masako Hara, Mitsuhiro Kawagoe, Haruo Nakamura
The interaction of interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) and interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) actions on several aspects of angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo was studied. The proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultured with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were synergistically inhibited by cotreatment with IL‐1 and IFN‐γ.

Selective Inhibitory Effect of Bufalin on Growth of Human Tumor Cells in vitro: Association with the Induction of Apoptosis in Leukemia HL‐60 CellsWiley - Tập 85 Số 6 - Trang 645-651 - 1994

We found that bufalin, an active principle of the Chinese medicine chan'su, has selective inhibitory effects on the growth of various human cancer cells. In order to examine whether the growth‐inhibitory effect of bufalin on human cancer cells is associated with apoptosis, human leukemia cells were treated with bufalin. HL‐60, ML1, and U937 leukemia cells treated...... hiện toàn bộ
In situ mRNA Hybridization Technique for Analysis of Human Telomerase RNA in Gastric Precancerous and Cancerous LesionsWiley - Tập 89 Số 11 - Trang 1187-1194 - 1998
Toru Hiyama, Hiroshi Yokozaki, Yasuhiko Kitadai, Eiichi Tahara, Hiroko Tahara, Ken Haruma, Wataru Yasui, Goro Kajiyama
Telomerase, the ribonucleoprotein enzyme that elongates telomeres, is repressed in normal somatic cells but is reactivated during tumor progression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the localization of human telomerase RNA (hTR) expression in human gastric precancerous and cancerous lesions by using in situ mRNA hybridization (ISH) with avidin‐biotin ...... hiện toàn bộ
A Case‐Control Study of Biliary Tract Cancer in Niigata Prefecture, JapanWiley - Tập 80 Số 10 - Trang 932-938 - 1989
Kazúo Kato, S Akai, Sumio Tominaga, Ikuko Kato
A case‐control study of biliary tract cancer was conducted in Niigata prefecture where the mortality of the cancer is the highest in Japan. The cases were 109 patients with gallbladder cancer and 84 with bile duct cancer, and the controls were 386 sex‐ and age‐matched neighborhood controls. For gallbladder cancer, a past history of biliary tract disease, a positive family history of cholel...... hiện toàn bộ
Wakame Seaweed Suppresses the Proliferation of 7,12‐Dimethylbenz(a)‐anthracene‐induced Mammary Tumors in RatsWiley - Tập 90 Số 9 - Trang 922-927 - 1999

We examined the anti‐tumor proliferation effects of wakame seaweed on 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)‐anthracene (DMBA)‐induced rat mammary tumor. DMBA was administered to 8‐week‐old female Sprague‐Dawley rats, and rats which developed mammary tumors were assigned randomly to three groups. Commercial rat feed was used in a control group (group I‐A), and two feed mixtures were prepared, which containe...... hiện toàn bộ
Reversal of Cisplatin Resistance with Amphotericin B in a Non‐small Cell Lung Cancer Cell LineWiley - Tập 82 Số 6 - Trang 747-751 - 1991
T Morikage, M Bungo, Motoko Inomata, Mitsuzi Yoshida, Tohru Ohmori, Yasuhiro Fujiwara, Kazuto Nishio, Nagahiro Saijo
The potentiation of anticancer agents by non‐anticancer drugs is one of the possible strategies for overcoming cellular resistance to chemotherapy. In order to overcome cis‐diamminedichloroplatinum‐(II) (CDDP) resistance, we evaluated the sensitizing effect on CDDP‐induced cytotoxicity of various non‐anticancer agents which might alter membrane transport, by mean...... hiện toàn bộ
