Linkage of CD40L to a self-tumor antigen enhances the antitumor immune responses of dendritic cell-based treatment
CD40–CD40 ligand (CD40L) interaction is an important costimulatory signal in the interaction between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC). In the present study, we determined whether the linkage of CD40...

Three isoforms of annexin I are preferentially expressed in normal esophageal epithelia but down-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas
The development and progression of human cancer are believed to be due to the alterations of multiple genes or/and their protein products. For identifying the proteins associated with esophageal cancer, we ana...

Disruption of the Rad9/Rad1/Hus1 (9–1–1) complex leads to checkpoint signaling and replication defects
The checkpoint sliding-clamp complex, Rad9/Rad1/Hus1, plays a critical role during initiation of checkpoint signals in response to DNA damage and replication disruption. We investigated the impact of loss of R...

ERβ exerts multiple stimulative effects on human breast carcinoma cells
Recent studies of ERs in breast cancer have demonstrated the existence of ERβ in addition to ERα. Some clinical data indicated that ERβ had prognostic value for patient's survival, which suggested that ERβ plays ...

Article
Proteomic analysis on metastasis-associated proteins of human hepatocellular carcinoma tissues
Purpose: A comparative proteomic approach was used to identify and analyze proteins related to metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Proteins extracted from 12 HCC tissue...

Expression of fascin in thyroid neoplasms: a novel diagnostic marker
Fascin, an actin-bundling protein, is markedly upregulated in several epithelial tumors and its expression often correlates with high-grade, extensive invasion, and distant metastasis. However, reports about f...

The prevalence of PALB2 germline mutations in BRCA1/BRCA2 negative Chinese women with early onset breast cancer or affected relatives
PALB2 has been recently identified as breast cancer susceptibility gene in western populations. To investigate the contribution of PALB2 mutations to Chinese non-BRCA1/BRCA2 hereditary breast cancer, we screen...

Article
Mutation analysis of BRIP1/BACH1 in BRCA1/BRCA2 negative Chinese women with early onset breast cancer or affected relatives
The proper interaction between BRIP1/BACH1 and BRCA1 protein has been found to be crucial for BRCA1-mediated DNA double-strand break repair and BRIP1/BACH1 mutations were estimated to confer a relative risk fo...

Article
Open AccessAnti-tumor effect of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of pigment epithelium-derived factor on mouse B16-F10 melanoma
Angiogenesis plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, and eventually metastasis. Antiangiogenic strategies have been proven to be a promising approach for clinical therapy for a variety of tumors. As...

The angiogenic and prognostic implications of VEGF, Ang-1, Ang-2, and MMP-9 for hepatocellular carcinoma with background of hepatitis B virus
The objective of this study was to investigate the expressions of angiogenic factors and elucidate their angiogenic and prognostic roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with background of hepatitis B virus (...

Cediranib (recentin, AZD2171) reverses ABCB1- and ABCC1-mediated multidrug resistance by inhibition of their transport function
Cediranib (recentin, AZD2171) is an oral small-molecule multiple receptor tyrosine kinases inhibitor. Here we investigate the ability of cediranib to reverse tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) due to overexpress...

Article
PNAS-4, a novel pro-apoptotic gene, can potentiate antineoplastic effects of cisplatin
PNAS-4, a novel pro-apoptotic gene activated during the early response to DNA damage, can inhibit proliferation via apoptosis when overexpressed in some tumor cells. The objectives of this study were to determ...

Article
Open AccessRegulation of the transcription factor NF-κB1 by microRNA-9 in human gastric adenocarcinoma
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of naturally occurring, small, non-coding RNAs that regulate protein-coding mRNAs by causing mRNA degradation or repressing translation. The roles of miRNAs in lineage determ...

Article
Open AccessIncidence of chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea associated with epirubicin, docetaxel and navelbine in younger breast cancer patients
The rates of chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea (CIA) associated with docetaxel-based regimens reported by previous studies are discordant. For navelbine-based chemotherapies, rates of CIA have seldom been reported.

Article
Open AccessAnti-tumor activity of N-trimethyl chitosan-encapsulated camptothecin in a mouse melanoma model
Camptothecin (CPT) has recently attracted increasing attention as a promising anticancer agent for a variety of tumors. But the clinical application is largely hampered by its extreme water insolubility and un...

Association between mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 rs889312 polymorphism and breast cancer risk: evidence from 59,977 subjects
Published data on the association between mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP3K1) gene rs889312 polymorphism and breast cancer risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of th...

The prognostic significance of TP53 mutations in Chinese patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia is independent of del(17p13)
The poor prognosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients with del(17p13) is well established. Several studies have shown that cases with TP53 mutations and TP53 mutations without del(17p13) may be adv...

NGAL and NGALR are frequently overexpressed in human gliomas and are associated with clinical prognosis
Recently, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and its cell surface receptor, NGALR, have been shown to have critical roles in the biology of various tumors. Therefore, we investigated the express...
