Elevated gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH) activity as a contributing factor in mechanisms of acquired and intrinsic antifolate resistance has been reported for several cultured cell lines. Despite this, little is known about this enzyme, especially the human species. Using the human HT-1080 sarcoma
Intracellular metabolism of methotrexate (MTX) to MTX-polyglutamates (MTXPG) is one determinant of cytotoxicity. Steady-state accumulation of MTXPG seems to depend on the activity of two enzymes: folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS), which adds glutamate residues, and gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH),
Mutation of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and chronic pancreatitis are the most common pathogenic events involved in human pancreatic carcinogenesis. In the process of long-standing chronic inflammation, aberrant metabolites of arachidonic acid play a crucial role in promoting
We established a hybridoma clone that produced anti-bleomycin hydrolase antibody. The subclass of the monoclonal antibody was immunoglobulin M. The antibody significantly reacted with bleomycin hydrolase from rabbit tissues, mouse livers, sarcoma 180, and adenocarcinoma 755 but not significantly
This retrospective study aimed to observe the clinicopathological features and immunological phenotypes, and explore effective treatment and prognosis for 12 Chinese Han patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma. All 12 patients were human immunodeficiency
The production of B77 avian sarcoma virions was inhibited more than 90% in infected chicken embryo fibroblasts that were treated with 100 microM 3-deazaadenosine, an inhibitor of adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase and, for this reason, an inhibitor of methylation reactions. This nucleoside analog at a
On the basis of inhibitory activity of truncated cyclopentenyl cytosine against S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH), its fluorocyclopentenyl pyrimidine derivatives were efficiently synthesized from D-ribose via electrophilic fluorination as a key step. The final nucleosides were evaluated for SAH
Folylpolyglutamate hydrolase (folyl hydrolase) activity derived from murine tumors and various normal tissues was measured by means of high performance liquid chromatography using methotrexate polyglutamates as substrate. Enzyme-mediated hydrolysis was considerably greater (10-20-fold) on a specific
Despite improvements in the treatment of patients with Ewing family tumors (EFT), the prognosis for patients with advanced disease is still unsatisfactory. Recently, we identified lipase I as an EFT-associated gene that might be interesting for the development of new immunological or pharmacological
OBJECTIVE
Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a phospholipid mediator of inflammation, has been recently detected on tumor cells but its effect in tumor development is largely undefined.
METHODS
To address its potential role in tumor biology, we inhibited intratumor PAF activity by engineering tumor
