The effects of a novel polypeptide, pancreatic spasmolytic polypeptide (PSP) on a colon carcinoma cell line (HCT 116) were examined. PSP stimulated the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into HCT 116 cells as well as cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Maximal increase in [3H]thymidine
The human pS2 gene, isolated from the breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 and shown to be under estrogen transcriptional control in a subclass of breast cancer cells was reported to be secreted in normal stomach surface epithelial cells, whereas additional gastrointestinal tissues like pancreas and
Recently, homology has been reported for pS2, a protein expressed in many human breast cancers, and a hormonogastric protein known as pancreatic spasmolytic polypeptide (SPP; formerly designated as PSP). The breast cancer estrogen inducible locus (BCEI), which encodes pS2, maps to human chromosome
The human spasmolytic protein, SML1/hSP, an inhibitor of spasmolytic activity and gastric acid secretion in the pig, has been shown to exhibit homology to the pS2 protein, an estrogen-dependent breast cancer marker. Moreover, SML1/hSP and pS2 are expressed at the same localization in the normal
The published amino acid sequence of pancreatic spasmolytic polypeptide (Thim, L., Thomsen, J., Christensen, M. and Jørgensen, K.H. et al. (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 827, 410-418) has been checked by a combination of mass spectroscopy and Edman degradation. The pyroglutamyl blocking group was
Four peptides present in completely different biological sources have been shown to exhibit a large degree of structural similarity. The peptides include: (i) a 60 amino acid residue breast cancer associated pS2 peptide isolated from human gastric juice and the culture media of the human breast
Expression of the pancreatic spasmolytic peptide (hSP) gene and pS2 (a gene isolated from oestrogen-induced breast carcinoma cells) were analysed in 36 samples of human stomach carcinoma. 17 tumours were investigated at the RNA level (by northern blots) as well as at the gene product level (by
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers and major cause of death in women in the world. Emerging evidence underscores the value of dietary and non-dietary phytochemicals, including triterpenoids, in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Oleanolic acid, an oleanane-type
The authors describe a fatal case of gastric perforation secondary to an ulcerated metastasis in a woman with undiagnosed breast cancer. The 48-year-old woman, with no significant medical history, presented with weight loss, persistent dyspepsia and pain in the epigastric and mesogastric region. She
Purpose: Post-operative pain after breast cancer surgery is a major problem and women undergoing mastectomyand breast reconstruction experience post-operative pain syndromes in approximately one-half of all cases. Patientswho have undergone breast reconstruction after mastectomy can suffer from
Melatonin inhibits the proliferation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-positive (MCF-7), but not ERalpha-negative (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells. Here, we assessed the effect of MT(1) melatonin receptor stable overexpression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells on the growth-suppressive
pS2-TFF 1 is expressed in breast cancers and has been investigated as a potential prognostic factor reflecting oestrogen dependence. The relationship to the expression of other trefoil peptides, human spasmolytic polypeptide (hSP-TFF 2) and intestinal trefoil factor (hITF/hPI.B-TFF 3) is documented
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignant pathology, representing the primary cause of cancer death in women. Natural products are an appealing strategy to limit the progression of the disease. Targeting angiogenesis in breast cancer may positively impact on poor prognosis of breast
Expression of pS2 (an estrogen-induced gene isolated from breast carcinoma MCF7 cells) and of the human spasmolytic peptide (hSP) gene was analyzed in 21 human biliary tract and gallbladder carcinomas and 16 non-neoplastic gallbladders at the protein level (immunochemistry) and, in a series of these
Approximately 50% of human breast tumors secrete a small cysteine-rich protein, pS2, of unknown function. pS2 protein was recently found to be homologous to a porcine protein with hormonogastric activity, pancreatic spasmolytic polypeptide (PSP), in which the 5-cysteine domain present in pS2 is
