fibrosarcoma/potassium

We isolated six clones of weakly tumorigenic fibrosarcoma (QR) from the tumorigenic clone BMT-11 cl-9. The QR clones were unable to grow in normal C57BL/6 mice when injected s.c. (1x10(5) cells). However, they formed aggressive tumours upon co-implantation with a 'foreign body', i.e. a gelatin

BACKGROUND The expression of the human Eag1 potassium channel (Kv10.1) is normally restricted to the adult brain, but it has been detected in both tumour cell lines and primary tumours. Our purpose was to determine the frequency of expression of Eag1 in soft tissue sarcoma and its potential clinical

We examined the possibility that whole cell currents are involved and possibly trigger the response of mammalian cells to heat shock. Heat-sensitive cells from a radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF-1) and heat-resistant variants (TR-4, TR-5) were heated at 45 degrees C for 3-30 min. We observed

There is evidence that the obesity phenotype in the Caucasian populations is associated with variations in several genes, including neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1), SEC16 homolog B (SCE16B), transmembrane protein 18 (TMEM18), ets variant 5 (ETV5), glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase 2 (GNPDA2),

Mice bearing a 3-methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma (MCAM-7) transplant in the right leg underwent surgical excision of the tumor and showed specific resistance to subsequent challenges with that identical tumor line. An in vivo response to tumor-specific antigens (MCAM-7 antigen) solubilized

OBJECTIVE We examined a clinical model of ex vivo transdifferentiation of primary adult hepatocytes to insulin-secreting cells for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. METHODS Isolated rat hepatocytes were transduced in primary culture with a human lentivirus containing pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1

A fluorine-18 labeled analogue of D-talose, 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-talose ([18F]FDT), was synthesized via nucleophilic fluorination with [18F]fluoride ion and its biodistributions in animals were examined. Radiofluorination of benzyl 3,5,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-O-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-alpha-D-galac

Male CD2F1 mice bearing an MCAM-7 transplant in the right leg underwent surgical excision of the tumor and showed specific resistance to subsequent challenges with that identical tumor line. An in vivo response to tumor-specific antigens (MCAM-7 antigen) solubilized by hypertonic potassium chloride

GELUM oral-rd contains a potassium iron phosphate-potassium iron citrate complex, lactic acid and vitamins. It is recommended in oxygen deficiency states, tissue and tumour diseases and more recently as an adjunct to tumour therapy. The recommended dosage is 20 drops three times daily, to be taken

BACKGROUND Chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas remains unsatisfactory due to their low chemosensitivity. Even the first line chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin only yields a response rate of 18-29%. The antibiotic salinomycin, a potassium ionophore, has recently been shown to be a potent compound

Mice immunized to a syngeneic methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma by surgical removal of a growing tumor showed specific resistance to challenge with that tumor. An in vivo response to tumor-specific antigens solubilized by hypertonic potassium chloride was measured by 24-hr footpad swelling

IP6, a major dietary source of inositol phosphates, is a physiological antioxidant with potential to form complexes with cations linked to cell proliferation and hypercholesterolemia. Accordingly, we have examined the action of IP6 on dietary modulation of neoplasia and hyperlipidemia in a Fischer

Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary approach to cancer therapy that requires accumulation of boron atoms preferentially in tumour cells. This can be achieved by using nanoparticles as boron carriers and taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)
