BACKGROUND
We reported increased levels of phosphatidyl inositol synthase (PI synthase), (enzyme that catalyses phosphatidyl inositol (PI) synthesis-implicated in intracellular signaling and regulation of cell growth) in smokeless tobacco (ST) exposed oral cell cultures by differential display. This
The phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway is activated downstream of a variety of extracellular signals and activation of this signaling pathway impacts a number of cellular processes including cell growth, proliferation and survival. The alteration of components of this pathway, through
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and PI3K/mTOR pathway are drug targets for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, we investigated anti-tumor effects of the combination of BGT226, a novel PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor, and gefitinib on NSCLC cell lines which are high sensitive to gefitinib.
Hepatic artery ligation (HAL), transarterial embolization (TAE), and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) have been treatment choices for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Obstruction of tumor blood supply is one of the most important mechanisms of these therapeutics measures. Here we
OBJECTIVE
Non-small cell lung carcinoma is the leading cause of cancer related to death in the world. Squamous cell lung carcinoma (SqCLC) is the second most frequent histological subtype of lung carcinomas. Recently, growth factors, growth factor receptors, and signal transduction system-related
Trichostatin A (TSA), a hydroxamate-type inhibitor of mammalian histone deacetylases, is emerging as one of a potentially new class of anticancer agents. TSA is known to act by promoting the acetylation of histones, leading to uncoiling of chromatin and activation of a variety of genes implicated in
BACKGROUND
Apoptosis can be used as a reliable marker for evaluating potential chemotherapeutic agents. Because wortmannin is a microbial steroidal metabolite, it specifically inhibits the phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase pathway, and could be used as a promising apoptosis-based therapeutic agent in
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) has been hypothesized to have chemopreventive effects on breast cancer, unlike high corn oil (HCO) diets that stimulate it. We have investigated mechanisms of these differential modulatory actions on experimental mammary cancer. In 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene
The Phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and c-Met signaling pathways are often deregulated in cancer. The two pathways are interconnected and at least c-Met has been implicated in drug resistance. The aim of the study was to assess in ovarian cancer
OBJECTIVE
Regrowth of tumour cells between cycles of chemotherapy is a significant clinical problem. Treatment strategies where antiproliferative agents are used to inhibit tumour regrowth between chemotherapy cycles are attractive, but such strategies are difficult to test using conventional
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that blockage of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or methylethylketone (MEK)1/2 kinase activities impairs the growth of kidney cancer cells and magnifies the growth inhibitory effect of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor rapamycin.
METHODS
The
Mutations that constitutively activate the phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway, including alterations in PI3K, PTEN, and AKT, are found in a variety of human cancers, implicating the PI3K lipid kinase as an attractive target for the development of therapeutic agents to treat
It is known that treatments with heat shock, some anticancer drugs, and ionizing radiation increase the expression of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) and natural killer group 2D (NKG2D) ligands in tumor cells. The increased HSPs may make the tumor cells resistant to apoptosis and reduction of HSPs may
Willow bark extracts have been used for centuries as a natural pain killer. Recently their potential as anticancer agents has been reported. We have shown the high antioxidant activity, phenolic and flavonoid content in the ethanolic extract of bark (EEB) from Salix aegyptiaca, a species endogenous
Phosphatidylinositide-3-kinase (PI3 kinase) is an important constituent of growth factor regulation. It is also involved in oncogene signaling pathways. An ether-containing phosphatidyl inositol(PI) analog, OMDPI, 1-[(1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero)-phospho]-1D-3-deoxy-myo-inositol, is a potent
