A novel procedure for protein extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues
(Wiley, 2011-05-18)
[Abstract] Most of the archived pathological specimens in hospitals are kept as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPE) for long-term preservation. Up to now, these samples are only used for immunohistochemistry ...
Posttranscriptional regulation by RNA-binding proteins during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition
(Springer, 2013-05-29)
[Abstract] Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), one of the crucial steps for carcinoma cells to acquire invasive capacity, results from the disruption of cell–cell contacts and the acquisition of a motile mesenchymal ...
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 ...
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 ...
New insights into molecular mechanisms of sunitinib-associated side effects
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2011-12)
[Abstract] The introduction of targeted therapy represents a major advance in the treatment of tumor progression. Targeted agents are a novel therapeutic approach developed to disrupt different cellular signaling pathways. ...
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 ...
Role of the microtubule-targeting drug vinflunine on cell-cell adhesions in bladder epithelial tumour cells
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-10)
[Abstract]
Background. Vinflunine (VFL) is a microtubule-targeting drug that suppresses microtubule dynamics, showing anti-metastatic properties both in vitro and in living cancer cells. An increasing body of evidence ...
miR-203 regulates cell proliferation through Its influence on Hakai expression
(PLoS, 2012-12-20)
Gene expression is potently regulated through the action of microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we present evidence of a miRNA regulating Hakai protein. Hakai was discovered as an E3 ubiquitin-ligase that mediates the posttranslational ...
Hakai reduces cell-substratum adhesion and increases epithelial cell invasion
(BioMed Central, 2011-11-03)
[Abstract]
Background. The dynamic regulation of cell-cell adhesions is crucial for developmental processes, including tissue formation, differentiation and motility. Adherens junctions are important components of the ...
Biological influence of Hakai in cancer: a 10-year review
(Springer, 2012-02-19)
[Abstract] In order to metastasize, cancer cells must first detach from the primary tumor, migrate, invade through tissues, and attach to a second site. Hakai was discovered as an E3 ubiquitin-ligase that mediates the ...
