Nicotine dose-dependently induced cytotoxicity in human glioma (KG-1-C) and glioblastoma (GBS-1, T98G) cell lines, but could not induce internucleosomal DNA cleavage, in contrast to apoptosing human myelogenous leukemic cell lines. Human glioma/glioblastoma cell lines thus might have a chromatin
OBJECTIVE
Though plant metabolic changes are known to occur during interactions with bacteria, these were rarely challenged for pharmacologically active compounds suitable for further drug development. Here, the occurrence of specific chemicals with antiproliferative activity against human cancer
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has a poor prognosis despite maximal surgical resection with subsequent multi-modal radiation and chemotherapy. Use of tobacco products following diagnosis and during the period of treatment for non-neural tumors detrimentally affects treatment and
Current approaches to nanoscale therapeutic delivery rely on the attachment of a drug of interest to a nanomaterial scaffold that is capable of releasing the drug selectively in a tumor environment. One class of nanocarriers receiving significant attention is protein nanomaterials, which are
Lysosomes of brain capillary endothelial cells are implicated in nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-mediated transcytosis and act as an enzymatic barrier for the transport of peptide ligands to the brain. A D-peptide ligand of nAChRs (termed (D)CDX), which binds to nAChRs with an IC50 value of
Glioblastoma is one of the most lethal tumors in adult central nervous system with a median survival of a year and half and effective therapeutic strategy is urgently needed. For that reason, stem cell-based suicide gene therapies have attracted much interest because of potent tumor tropism of stem
The human glioblastoma-astrocytoma cell line U-373-MG shows morphological features typical of its neuroectodermal origin. Cells showed positive immunostaining for the glial fibrillary acidic protein. We used this cell culture for studying the putative production of TRH and TRH-related peptides. In a
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to evaluate the activity of certain hairpin ribozymes against deletion-mutant epidermal growth factor receptor (deltaEGFR) messenger (m)RNA in glioblastomas multiforme (GBMs). A distinct 801-bp deletion mutation associated with amplification of the EGFR gene is
Glioblastoma is a particularly challenging cancer, as there are currently limited options for treatment. New delivery routes are being explored, including direct intratumoral injection via convection-enhanced delivery (CED). While promising, convection-enhanced delivery of traditional
Since the development of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group-Recursive Partitioning Analysis (RTOG-RPA) risk classes for high-grade glioma, radiation therapy in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) has become standard care. While this combination has improved survival, the prognosis remains poor in
Bevacizumab (BVZ), a monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been suspected to increase the incidence of ischemic stroke (IS) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in GBM patients. Intracranial vascular events, such as IS and ICH, were retrospectively analyzed
OBJECTIVE
This review describes recent advances in technologies for massive parallel sequencing of human genomes and discusses their application to the analysis of cancer genomes.
RESULTS
Several different instruments are now available for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Although they use
The responses of two low-molecular-weight stress proteins, alpha B crystallin and HSP28, to various types of stress were determined quantitatively by specific immunoassays in a human glioblastoma cell line (U118 MG). Levels of alpha B crystallin (2-4 ng/mg protein) and HSP28 (1-1.5 micrograms/mg
Leafy gall is a plant hyperplasia induced upon Rhodococcus fascians infection. Previously, by genomic and transcriptomic analysis, it has been reported that, at the early stage of symptom development, both primary and secondary metabolisms are modified. The present study is based on the hypothesis
This study assessed the changes in the isoprenoid pathway and its metabolites digoxin, dolichol and ubiquinone in neoplasms (CNS astrocytomas - glioblastoma multiforme and high grade non - Hodgkin's lymphoma). The following parameters were assessed-isoprenoid pathway metabolites, tyrosine and
