    Resistance of melanoma cells to TRAIL does not result from upregulation of antiapoptotic proteins by NF-κB but is related to downregulation of initiator caspases and DR4

    Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has attracted considerable attention as a novel anticancer agent. However, its efficiency may be diminished by occurring resistance in cancer cel...

    A novel Bcl-x splice product, Bcl-xAK, triggers apoptosis in human melanoma cells without BH3 domain

    Pro- and antiapoptotic proteins of the large Bcl-2 family are critical regulators of apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. Whereas antiapoptotic proteins of the family share all four Bcl-2 homology domains ...

    Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates inhibit cell cycle progression in human melanoma cells

    Cutaneous melanoma is one of the highly malignant human tumours, due to its tendency to generate early metastases and its resistance to classical chemotherapy. We recently demonstrated that pamidronate, a nitr...

    The bisphosphonate pamidronate induces apoptosis in human melanoma cells in vitro

    Pamidronate belongs to the class of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates that are potent inhibitors of bone resorption frequently used for the treatment of osteoporosis and cancer-induced osteolysis. The inhibi...

    Decreased proliferation of human melanoma cell lines caused by antisense RNA against translation factor eIF-4A1

    Control of translation initiation was recognised as a critical checkpoint for cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. In human melanoma cells, we have previously reported consistent overexpression of translation...

    Therapeutic uses of retinoids in skin diseases

    Since retinol became available in the mid 1940s, at least 2500 different retinoids, structurally related to retinol, were synthesized. Dermatologists have played a leading role in develo** this new class of ...

    The phospholipid analogue hexadecylphosphocholine (HePC) inhibits proliferation of keloid fibroblasts in vitro and modulates their fibronectin and integrin synthesis

    Hexadecylphosphocholine (HePC), a topically effective compound, exerts a strong antiproliferative effect on neoplastic cells. In the present study we investigated (1) the antiproliferative effect...

    Hexadecylphosphocholine as an Useful Tool for Investigating Phosphatidylcholine Biosynthesis and Sorting

    Phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant phospholipid in mammalian tissues. The main route of its biosynthesis is the CDP-choline pathway with CTP : choline phosphate cytidylyltransferase (CT) (EC 2.7.7.15) as...
