Angiogenesis and apoptosis-related protein (p53, bcl-2, and bax) expression versus response of gastric adenocarcinomas to paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy
(2001)The role of angiogenesis and apoptosis-related proteins in defining response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. We examined the microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of p53, bcl-2, and bax proteins in a series ... -
Angiogenic interactions of vascular endothelial growth factor, of thymidine phosphorylase, and of p53 protein expression in locally advanced gastric cancer
(2000)The assessment of the angiogenic profile of tumors may become an important tool as a guide for the inclusion of novel drugs and molecular therapies into the standard chemoradiotherapy policy. Several studies have shown the ... -
Antiangiogenic strategies in hepatocellular carcinoma: current status
(2005)Hepatocellular carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide in both adult and pediatric patients. Despite many options, no ideal treatment exists for this highly malignant tumor, and management strategies have ... -
bcl-2 and c-erbB-2 proteins are involved in the regulation of VEGF and of thymidine phosphorylase angiogenic activity in non-small-cell lung cancer
(1999)Tumour angiogenesis has been recently recognised as one of the most important prognostic factors in lung cancer. Although a variety of angiogenic factors have been identified, the angiogenesis process remains poorly ... -
Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in HeLa cells by an iron-independent, but ROS-, PI-3K- and MAPK-dependent mechanism
(2006)The iron-chelator desferrioxamine (DFO) and the transition metal cobalt induce hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in normoxia. DFO stabilizes HIF-1 alpha from proteolysis by inhibiting the activity of iron-dependent ... -
Data Driven, Predictive Molecular Dynamics for Nanoscale Flow Simulations under Uncertainty
(2013)For over five decades, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have helped to elucidate critical mechanisms in a broad range of physiological systems and technological innovations. MD simulations are synergetic with experiments, ... -
Epstein-Barr Virus Immortalization of Human B-Cells Leads to Stabilization of Hypoxia-Induced Factor 1 Alpha, Congruent with the Warburg Effect
(2012)Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encodes six nuclear transformation-associated proteins that induce extensive changes in cellular gene expression and signaling and induce B-cell transformation. The role of HIF1A in ... -
Evaluation of dose-response models and parameters predicting radiation induced pneumonitis using clinical data from breast cancer radiotherapy
(2005)The purpose of this work is to evaluate the predictive strength of the relative seriality, parallel and LKB normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models regarding the incidence of radiation pneumonitis, in a large ... -
A free software for the evaluation and comparison of dose response models in clinical radiotherapy (DORES)
(2009)Purpose: The aim of this work was to develop a user-friendly and simple tool for fast and accurate estimation of Normal Tissue Complication Probabilities (NTCP) for several radiobiological models, which can be used as a ... -
'Invading edge vs. inner' (edvin) patterns of vascularization: an interplay between angiogenic and vascular survival factors defines the clinical behaviour of non-small cell lung cancer
(2000)Neo-angiogenesis during neoplastic growth involves endothelial mitogenic and migration stimuli produced by cancer or tumour stromal cells. Although this active angiogenesis takes place in the tumour periphery, the process ... -
Prediction of AVM obliteration after stereotactic radiotherapy using radiobiological modelling
(2002)This study was carried out in order to derive the radiobiological parameters of the dose-response relation for the obliteration of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) following single fraction stereotactic radiotherapy. ... -
Predictive and prognostic value of LPS-stimulated cytokine secretion in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
(2013)Cancer patients usually develop malnutrition which may alter their innate immune system integrity. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical relevance of chemokine response after lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation ... -
Predictive value of telomerase reverse transcriptase expression in patients with high risk superficial bladder cancer treated with adjuvant BCG immunotherapy
(2009)We conducted a prospective study to determine whether expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is associated with recurrence-free-survival (RFS) or development of invasive disease in patients with high risk ... -
Primary CD30-positive cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and lymphomatoid papulosis frequently express cytotoxic proteins
(2000)Alms: To analyse the relationship between expression of cytotoxic proteins. histopathology and the CD30 status in primary cutaneous T-cell disorders, we investigated the expression of TIA-1, granzyme B and perforin in CD30 ... -
Serum vascular endothelial growth factor is related to systemic oxidative stress in patients with lung cancer
(2008)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play crucial rote in tumour angiogenesis. It is demonstrated that VEGF can be up-regulated by oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to determine the serum VEGF ...
