FGF-2 and HGF reverse abiraterone’s effect οn intracellular levels of DHT in androgen-dependent and androgen independent prostate cancer cell lines
(2020)Purpose: Growth factors such as fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) appear at high levels in prostate cancer (PC). Abiraterone is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor which is currently in ... -
Functional characterization and anti-cancer action of the clinical phase II cardiac Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitor istaroxime: In vitro and in vivo properties and cross talk with the membrane androgen receptor
(2016)Sodium potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) is a validated pharmacological target for the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Recent published data with Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitors suggest a potent anti-cancer action of these ... -
HIF-1α-derived cell-penetrating peptides inhibit ERK-dependent activation of HIF-1 and trigger apoptosis of cancer cells under hypoxia
(2019)Hypoxia is frequently encountered in the microenvironment of solid tumors. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), the main effectors of cell response to hypoxia, promote cancer cell survival and progression. HIF-1α, the ... -
Identification of rearranged sequences of HPV16 DNA in precancerous and cervical cancer cases
(2016)Integration of HPV16 DNA into the host chromosome is considered to be a crucial step towards genomic instability and cervical cancer development. Aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of HPV16 rearranged ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression in lung cancer
(2007)Background: The expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by tumor cells has been considered as a major tumor immune escape mechanism. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of IDO in lung cancer ... -
Influence of AQP1 on cell adhesion, migration, and tumor sphere formation in malignant pleural mesothelioma is substratum-and histological-type dependent
(2016)Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer. MPM cells express aquaporin-1 (AQP1) that in other cancers has been shown to participate in the tumor metastasis processes. However, in MPM patients AQP1 ... -
Inhibition of calcitriol inactivating enzyme CYP24A1 gene expression by flavonoids in hepatocellular carcinoma cells under normoxia and hypoxia
(2021)A vast number of epidemiological, preclinical and in vitro experimental data strongly indicate the anticancer potential of calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D. However, for the implementation of a vitamin ... -
Istaroxime Inhibits Motility and Down-Regulates Orai1 Expression, SOCE and FAK Phosphorylation in Prostate Cancer Cells
(2017)Background/Aims: Istaroxime is a validated inotropic Na + /K + ATPase inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Recent findings established that this steroidal drug exhibits potent ... -
The labdane diterpene sclareol (labd-14-ene-8, 13-diol) induces apoptosis in human tumor cell lines and suppression of tumor growth in vivo via a p53-independent mechanism of action
(2011)The labdane diterpene sclareol has demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines and human colon cancer xenografts. Therefore, there is need to elucidate the mode of action of this compound as very ... -
Local intracerebral inhibition of IRE1 by MKC8866 sensitizes glioblastoma to irradiation/chemotherapy in vivo
(2020)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most severe primary brain cancer. Despite an aggressive treatment comprising surgical resection and radio/chemotherapy, patient's survival post diagnosis remains short. A limitation for ... -
Low-Protein Diet Induces IRE1α-Dependent Anticancer Immunosurveillance
(2018)Dietary restriction (DR) was shown to impact on tumor growth with very variable effects depending on the cancer type. However, how DR limits cancer progression remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that feeding ... -
Malignant mesothelioma cells secrete natriuretic peptides: Data and diagnostic clinical implications
(2020)Background and objective: Mesothelial cells and cardiomyocytes have shared embryonic mesodermal origin. Cardiomyocytes release BNP under stretch. We searched whether malignant mesothelioma cells also secrete BNP and if so, ... -
Molecular proteomic characterization of a pediatric medulloblastoma xenograft
(2017)Background/Aim: Medulloblastoma (MBL), an archetypal primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the cerebellum, is the most common pediatric central nervous system malignancy representing approximately 20% of all childhood brain ... -
Neurotoxic effects of aluminum are associated with its interference with estrogen receptors signaling
(2020)Aluminum compounds have been observed in various brain regions, and their accumulation has been associated with many neurodegenerative disorders. Neurotoxic effects of aluminum are attributed to reactive oxygen species ... -
A novel combined bioactivity / chemoactivity holistic approach for the evaluation of dietary supplements
(2021)There is increasing evidence that the excessive generation of free radicals in the human body plays a major role in the pathophysiology and development of various diseases, closely associated with oxidative damage. In this ... -
Novel diarylamides and diarylureas with N-substitution dependent activity against medulloblastoma
(2021)Medulloblastoma – highly aggressive and heterogeneous tumours of the cerebellum – account for 15–20% of all childhood brain tumours, and are the most common high-grade childhood embryonal tumour of the central nervous ... -
Novel HIF-2α interaction with Reptin52 impairs HIF-2 transcriptional activity and EPO secretion
(2021)Hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF-2), is essential for cellular response to hypoxia and holds an important role in erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, tissue invasion and metastasis, thus, constituting an important therapeutic ... -
