Fructose transporter Glut5 expression in clear renal cell carcinoma
(Spandidos, 2010-12-10)
[Abstract] Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) can be subclassified for general purposes into clear cell, papillary cell, chromophobe cell carcinomas and oncocytomas. Other tumours such as collecting duct, medullary, mucinous ...
Crossing paths in Human Renal Cell Carcinoma (hRCC)
(MDPI, 2012-10-05)
[Abstract] Historically, cell-signaling pathways have been studied as the compilation of isolated elements into a unique cascade that transmits extracellular stimuli to the tumor cell nucleus. Today, growing evidence ...
Circulating miR-200c and miR-141 and outcomes in patients with breast cancer
(BioMed Central, 2015)
[Abstract]
Background. The deregulation of microRNAs in both tumours and blood has led to the search for microRNAs to indicate the presence of cancer and predict prognosis. We hypothesize the deregulation of miR-200c/miR-141 ...
Clinical implications of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer progression
(Elsevier, 2015)
[Abstract] In the last few years, the role of epithelial cell plasticity in cancer biology research has gained increasing attention. This concept refers to the ability of the epithelial cells to dynamically switch between ...
Potential role of sugar transporters in cancer and their relationship with anticancer therapy
(Hindawi, 2010-06-20)
[Abstract] Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, are the main energy source of cells. Because of their hydrophilic nature, cells use a number of transporter proteins to introduce sugars through their plasma membrane. ...
Multiple biomarker tissue arrays: a computational approach to identifying protein-protein interactions in the EGFR/ERK signalling pathway
(BioMed Central, 2012-09-01)
[Abstract]
Background. Many studies have demonstrated genetic and environmental factors that lead to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and that occur during a protracted period of tumourigenesis. It appears suitable to identify ...
Bioinformatics approach to mRNA markers discovery for detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer
(Elsevier, 2008)
[Abstract] Background: Detection of tumor cells in the blood, or minimal deposits in distant organs as bone marrow, could be important to identify cancer patients at high risk of relapse or disease progression. Quantitative ...
Circulating microRNAs: molecular microsensors in gastrointestinal cancer
(MPDI, 2012-07-09)
[Abstract] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules of single strand non-coding RNAs, which are able to regulate gene expression. miRNAs have been involved in multiple cellular processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis and ...
