The present study aimed to explore the potential of hydroxylated carbon nanotubes (CNTnols) conjugated with aspartic acid for the delivery of docetaxel (DTX) to breast cancer cells. The conjugate was well-characterized by FT-IR, NMR, XRD and FE-SEM. The nanoconjugate offered a hydrodynamic diameter
The Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence was selected by using phage-display peptides to target tumors, focusing on targeting alpha(v) integrins in tumor blood vessels. Recent studies suggest that peptides containing the RGD sequence can bind to tumor cells, as well as tumor endothelial cells. To investigate
OBJECTIVE
We performed pretreatment angiogenesis imaging (Ga-NOTA-arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid [RGD] PET/CT) to compare its prognostic value to dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI in breast cancer patients.
METHODS
Forty-four female patients with stage II or III breast cancer (aged 47.3 ± 8.1 years)
Mutations of the PPP2R1B gene, which encodes the Abeta scaffolding subunit of serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), have been identified in several types of cancer including lung and breast carcinoma. One of these mutations results in an alteration of glycine 90 to aspartic acid (G90D),
Chemotherapy drugs, used for prevention of uncontrolled cell proliferation in certain tissues as well as inducing apoptosis in tumor cells, are important candidates for treatment of cancer. The synthesized 2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives effective on cancerous cells resistant to other
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), an ATP-dependent efflux transporter, confers drug resistance to many chemotherapy agents. BCRP is overexpressed in tumors exposed to an acidic environment; therefore, it is important to establish the effect of low pH on BCRP transport activity. It has
Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease with different molecular subtypes. The high conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK, Maxi-K channels) play an important role in the survival of some BC phenotypes, via membrane hyperpolarization and regulation of cell cycle. BK channels have
The pep4um gene (um04926) of Ustilago maydis encodes a protein related to either vacuolar or lysosomal aspartic proteases. Bioinformatic analysis of the Pep4um protein revealed that it is a soluble protein with a signal peptide suggesting that it likely passes through the secretory pathway, and it
Drug delivery systems are required for drug targeting to avoid adverse effects associated with chemotherapy treatment regimes. Our approach is focused on the study and development of plant virus-based materials as drug delivery systems; specifically, this work focuses on the tobacco mosaic virus
Breast cancer is a global public health problem where it is the second most prevalent cancer. Historical cancer treatment with graviola has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of graviola on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat breast cancer. Fifty
Current cryoablation therapy easily induces a high tumor recurrence, it is therefore necessary to develop an effective method to enhance its antitumor efficacy.
We solve the aforementioned problem by introducing doxorubicin (DOX) loading methoxy polyethylene glycol-polylactic-co-glycolic
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a 14 kDa protein that has been well characterized for promoting cancer metastasis and tumor immune evasion. By localizing to the cancer cell surface, Gal-1 induces T cell apoptosis through binding T cell surface receptors. The transmembrane protein, Sushi Domain Containing 2
The linker between the targeting moiety and the nanoparticle is often overlooked when engineering targeted drug delivery vehicles. We hypothesized that pH-triggered conformational changes of an elastin-like peptide (ELP) linker, with repeating VPGVG sequences, could alter the binding affinity of the
The imaging of tumor cells and tumor tissue samples is very important for cancer detection and therapy. We have taken advantages of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSiNPs) coupled with a molecular recognition element that allows for effective in vitro and ex vivo imaging of tumor cells and
Magnetic nanoclusters coated with ruthenium (II) complexes doped with silica (fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles or FMNPs) could be used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging (OI) of human breast cancer. To achieve the targeting imaging of tumors, the peptide
