Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is associated with B-cell lymphomas including primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV establishes latency within B cells by modulating or mimicking the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family of proteins to promote cell survival. Our
The Ewing sarcoma is the second most common bone tumor in children and young adults. Despite the advances in therapy, the 5-year survival rate for patients with metastatic disease is poor, indicating the need for alternative treatments. Here, we report that 2-methoxy-estradiol (2-Me), a natural
EWS expression in Ewing sarcoma family tumors (ESFTs) is decreased due to the haploinsufficiency elicited by chromosomal translocation. The abnormal expression levels of EWS and its downstream factors contribute to the manifestation of ESFTs. Previously, we reported that increased Proline-rich Akt
In previous studies, we identified a putative 38-nucleotide stem-loop structure (zipcode) in the 3' untranslated region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (COXIV) mRNA that was necessary and sufficient for the axonal localization of the message in primary superior cervical ganglion (SCG)
OBJECTIVE
Differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to identify genes associated with the invasive potential of human epithelioid sarcoma.
METHODS
Two different clonal subpopulations, GRU-1A and GRU-1B, derived from the same human epithelioid sarcoma
The effects of PSK and Propionibacterium acnes (anaerobic Corynebacterium) on hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes were studied using sarcoma-180 bearing and non-tumor bearing mice. PSK had no influence on aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities, cytochrome P-450 concentration in
Retroviral Gag proteins have the ability to induce budding and particle release from the plasma membrane when expressed in the absence of all of the other virus-encoded components; however, the locations of the functional domains within the Gag protein that are important for this process are poorly
Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a rare tumor that is more frequent in pediatric and adolescent age groups. In the past few decades, long-term survival in affected patients has improved due to the success of multimodal therapy. However, long-term survival is inevitably restricted by the late side-effects of
A mutational analysis of the rat cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (RCO4) promoter region revealed the presence of a major control element consisting of a tandemly repeated pair of binding sites for a nuclear factor from HeLa cells. This factor was designated NRF-2 (nuclear respiratory factor 2)
We investigated the cytotoxic responsiveness of 40 cell lines derived from representatives of the Ewing's sarcoma family of tumours (ESFT), i.e., Ewing's sarcoma (ES), peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour (pPNET) and Askin tumour (AT), to tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing
OBJECTIVE
There is an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies in Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT). In this study, we have evaluated the effect of fenretinide [N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide] in ESFT models.
METHODS
The effect of fenretinide on viable cell number and apoptosis of ESFT cell
We previously reported the identification of a novel zinc-finger gene, designated ZSG, fused to Ewing sarcoma gene (EWS) by a submicroscopic paracentric inversion of 22q12 in a small round cell sarcoma presenting a translocation t(1;22)(p34;q12). We report here the molecular cloning and
Novel 2-phenyl-4-quinolone compounds have potent cytotoxic effects on different human cancer cell lines. In this study, we examined anticancer activity and mechanisms of 20-fluoro-6,7-methylenedioxy-2-phenyl-4-quinolone (CHM-1) in human osterogenic sarcoma U-2 OS cells. CHM-1-induced apoptosis was
CWC-8 is a new synthesized novel 2-phenyl-4-quinolone compound in our laboratory which has demonstrated potential antitumor activity. In this study, we have defined the viability inhibition and apoptotic mechanisms of CWC-8 on human osteogenic sarcoma U-2 OS cells. According to the MTT assay, the
