Auranofin, a transition metal complex is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis but is also an effective anti-cancer drug. We investigate the effects of Auranofin in inducing cell death by apoptosis and whether these changes are correlated to changes of intracellular calcium concentration
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of golimumab 50 and 100 mg monotherapy in Japanese patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
METHODS
A total of 316 patients were randomised to receive subcutaneous injections
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the characteristics of arthropathy and musculoskeletal pain after chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
METHODS
In this study, we evaluate the characteristics of 15 patients with joint symptoms after receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. Demographic information
Auranofin is a gold complex categorized as an anti-rheumatic agent. Recently, several investigators suggested that auranofin may act as a potent anti-cancer drug for breast tumors. Nutlin-3a is a cis-imidazoline analog which prevents interaction between mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) and the
Two breast cancer patients with a history of treatment for long-term rheumatoid arthritis (RA) had histological findings similar to histological changes seen in resected mammary gland specimens following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The first patient was a 64-year-old woman who visited our
Cytokines are believed to be involved in a "vicious circle" of progressive interactions in bone metastasis. Iguratimod is a novel anti-rheumatic drug which is reported to have the capability of anti-cytokines. In this study, a rat model was constructed to investigate the effect of iguratimod on bone
Introduction/objectives: The effects of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cancer are largely unknown. We examined overall survival (OS) in patients with RA and solid
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCC2 [multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 2], ABCC3 (MRP3), and ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein) are involved in the efflux of potentially toxic compounds from the body. We have shown before that ABCC2, ABCC3, and ABCG2 together
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether multidrug-resistance efflux transporters are expressed on immune effector cells in synovial tissue from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and compromise the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) and leflunomide (LEF).
METHODS
Synovial tissue biopsy samples obtained from
The antirheumatic gold salt aurothiomalate (AuTM) has cellular actions that are consistent with modulation of gene expression. We have tested the hypothesis that an important mode of action of AuTM is inhibition of binding of certain transcription factors to regulatory elements in DNA. The chemistry
Radix Stephaniae tetrandrae, which contains tetrandrine (Tet) and fangchinoline, is traditionally used as an analgesic, antirheumatic, and antihypertensive drug in China. In this study, we investigated its effect on breast cancer cell proliferation and its potential mechanism of action in vitro.
Multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters may be used as biomarkers to monitor disease progression in RA and as a predictive tool to establish responsiveness to biological therapy. In this multicenter clinical trial, we aimed to assess the predictive value of activity measurement of Wyeth (formerly American Home Products) is developing temsirolimus [Cell cycle inhibitor-779, CCI 779], an ester analogue of sirolimus, for the treatment of cancer, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Temsirolimus binds to the cytosolic protein, FKBP, which subsequently inhibits mTOR
When compared to general population, patients with rheumatoid arthritis are at higher risk of some malignancies (especially lymphomas and lung cancer). Genetic predisposition, chronic inflammatory stimuli and viral infections are some of the reasons untreated patients are at higher risk. Clinical
OBJECTIVE
To examine the characteristics of chemotherapy-related arthropathy in patients with cancer.
METHODS
Eighteen patients developed joint symptoms after receiving chemotherapy. We reviewed their charts to obtain information on demographics, underlying tumor, chemotherapeutic agents,
