It has previously been reported that about 90% of human colon carcinomas express increased levels of the sialyltransferase which adds sialic acid in alpha 2,6 linkage to galactose residues on N-linked chains of glycoproteins. To ascertain whether colon cancer tissues actually express increased
SS18-SSX fusion genes resulting from a chromosomal translocation t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2) are a genetic hallmark of synovial sarcoma. Although such cytogenetic or molecular aberrations have mostly been detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization or reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, the
Nigella sativa (NS), also known as black cumin, has long been used in traditional medicine for treating various cancer conditions. In this study, we sought to investigate the potential anti-cancer effects of NS extract using SiHa human cervical cancer cells. NS showed an 88.3% inhibition of
Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), which uses an enzymatic reaction to detect the hybridized DNA probe, is a new alternative to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the assessment of HER-2 oncogene amplification status in breast cancer. The main advantage of CISH over FISH is the use
The HIV epidemic in the Asian subcontinent has a significant impact on India. Patients with AIDS have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In this study, we have investigated the pattern of distribution of lymphoid neoplasms and also studied the Epstein-Barr virus
Thioredoxin is a low molecular weight, redox active protein important in cellular proliferation, signal transduction and antioxidant function. Thioredoxin is secreted by normal as well as neoplastic cells and is potentially involved in paracrine cell communication as suggested by its co-cytokine
DNA vector-based Stat3-specific RNA interference (si-Stat3) blocks Stat3 signalling and inhibits prostate tumour growth. However, the antitumour activity depends on the efficient delivery of si-Stat3. The effects on the growth of mouse prostate cancer cells of si-Stat3 delivered by hydroxyapatite
Decorin, a multifunctional small leucine-rich extracellular matrix proteoglycan, has been shown to possess potent antitumour activity. However, there is some uncertainty whether different cancer cells express decorin in addition to non-malignant stromal cells. In this study we clarified decorin
Early detection is the hallmark of successful cancer treatment. Evidence is accumulating that primary cancers begin shedding neoplastic cells in the circulation at an early stage. To date, a high-sensitivity and high-throughput method for the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is deficient.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the incidence of intranuclear DNA fragmentation and the expression of the bcl-2 oncoprotein in prostatic carcinoma, both of which are related to programmed cell death.
METHODS
Specimens of tumour obtained from 17 patients with newly diagnosed prostatic carcinoma and 16 with
Cardiac glycosides exhibit significant anticancer effects and the glycosyl substitution at C3 position of digoxigenin is pivotal for their biological activity. In order to study the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of cardiac glycosides toward cancers and explore more potent anticancer agents,
Cardiac glycosides show anticancer activities and their deoxy-sugar chains are vital for their anticancer effects. In order to study the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of cardiac glycosides toward cancers and get more potent anticancer agents, a series of MeON-neoglycosides of digoxigenin was
Previous work from our laboratory has demonstrated that a clone of Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MoMuSV-349) inoculated intraperitoneally into newborn BALB/c mice induces multiorgan disseminated angiosarcomatous tumors. These tumors develop in two stages: sarcomatous and angiosarcomatous. The
An increase in the number of beta 1,6 branches of the trimannosyl core of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides has been shown to be directly correlated with the metastatic potential of cultured tumour cells. The Phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinating lectin (PHA-L) binds to beta 1,6 branches of tri-
Magnetic metal particles are known to induce heat energy under an alternating magnetic field (AMF). We developed a local tumor-heating device incorporating an MgFe(2)O(4) needle for the purpose of mild ablation for cancer treatment. A needle made from sintered MgFe(2)O(4) particles was embedded in
