Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) constitutes one of the most aggressive cancers in the salivary gland and is associated with a poor prognosis; however, no established systemic therapy options are available. SDC exhibits biological similarity to prostate and breast cancers, therefore anti-hormone
The purpose of this study was to determine whether biocompatible and biodegradable vasoactive intestinal peptide-grafted sterically stabilized phospholipid mixed nanomicelles (VIP-SSMM; size, approximately 15 nm), a novel nanosized actively targeted drug delivery platform for breast cancer,
The GALN gene encodes the preprogalanin protein that is cleaved to liberate the galanin peptide, a neuropeptide and tumor cell mitogen, and the galanin message-associated peptide, which is of unknown function. GALN is located at chromosome 11q13, a frequently amplified locus in diverse tumor types
Many tumours of neuroendocrine origin, and also an increasing number of non-neuroendocrine cancers, have been shown to express neuropeptides and/or their corresponding receptors. These peptides and receptors represent the molecular basis for in vivo diagnostic or therapeutic targeting of cancer with
Galanin is a neuropeptide that is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In a previous study, we showed that a small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell line, SBC-3A, released progalanin but not galanin, and that progalanin was then converted to galanin(1-20), the active form.
