Primary and secondary cancers of the liver are a significant health problem with limited treatment options. We sought here to develop an oncolytic measles virus (MV) preferentially activated in liver tumor tissue, thus reducing infection and destruction of healthy tissue. We documented that in
Background: Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as minimally invasive prognostic markers for distinct types of cancer. This study evaluates the mitigation role of miR-328-3p on
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major worldwide health problem, causing chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and primary liver cancer (Hepatocellular carcinoma). HCV encodes a precursor polyprotein that is enzymatically cleaved to release the individual viral proteins. The viral non-structural
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection often leads to liver cancer. NS2/3 protease is the first of two virally encoded proteases required for HCV polyprotein processing. In this report, we investigated the function of NS2/3 protease on HCV replication and translation. Cells transfected with
The biochemical characteristics of cathepsin B secreted from cultured human liver cancer cells were examined. The enzyme activity of culture medium against a synthetic substrate, N-carbobenzoxy-L-arginyl-L-arginine-4-methyl-coumaryl-7-amide, was dependent on the addition of cysteine, and the optimal
To determine the biological effect of biochanin A, miso or NaCl and sexual influence of testosterone on liver tumor induction, male and female BCF1 mice were i.p. injected once with DEN at a dose of 5 mug/g body weight at 15 days of age. In order to shorten the latency of liver tumor occurrence, the
Infection by Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) leads to a slowly progressing disease that over two decades can lead to liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. Currently, one of the most promising approaches to anti-HCV therapy is the development of inhibitors of the NS3/4A protease, which is essential for maturation
The effect of leupeptin, a protease inhibitor, on the development of spontaneous tumors was studied in strain A mice. Three-week-old mice were divided into two groups: one group was fed on diet containing 0.1% leupeptin and the other was fed on basal diet. The experiment was terminated 480 days
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes inflammation of the liver and is the leading cause of both liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) is an acute-phase response protein that is overexpressed in liver cancer tissue. This study Hepatitis C virus can cause inflammation in human liver cells, leading to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Based on the World Health Organization reports, about 228 million people in the world have hepatitis C. To date, some inhibitory medicines against the hepatitis C virus nonstructural 3/4A
Antrodia cinnamomea is a highly valued folk medicine used for liver cancer, a disease often caused by the long term infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV). In the present study, the maleic and succinic acid constituents (antrodins A-E) of this medicinal fungus, the in vivo metabolites of antrodin C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes an infectious disease that manifests itself as liver inflammation, cirrhosis, and can lead to the development of liver cancer. Its NS3/4A serine protease is a potent target for drug design and development since it is responsible for cleavage of the scissile peptide
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of survivin on cell proliferation and apoptosis in liver cancer.
METHODS
MTT assay was used to generate and optimize phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs)-Lipofectamine2000 (LiP) compound by varying ODNs (mug):LiP (muL) ratios from 1:0.5 to 1:5. Then,
Primary liver cancer is the second most common cause of mortality from cancer. The most common models of hepatocellular carcinoma, which use a chemical and/or metabolic insult, xenograft, or genetic manipulation, are discussed in this review. In the tumour microenvironment lymphocytes, fibroblasts,
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major world-wide health problem causing chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. The high frequency of treatment failure points to the need for more specific, less toxic and more active antiviral therapies for HCV. The HCV NS3 is currently
