Open AccessDexrazoxane inhibits the growth of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by attenuating SDCBP/MDA-9/syntenin-mediated EGFR-PI3K-Akt pathway activation
Syndecan-binding protein (SDCBP) was reported to stimulate the advancement of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and could potentially be a target for ESCC treatment. There is a growing corpus of resear...

CDK15 promotes colorectal cancer progression via phosphorylating PAK4 and regulating β-catenin/ MEK-ERK signaling pathway
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. However, there are few effective therapeutic targets for CRC patients. Here, we found that CDK1...

SDCBP/MDA-9/syntenin phosphorylation by AURKA promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression through the EGFR-PI3K-Akt signaling pathway
SDCBP is an adapter protein containing two tandem PDZ domains mediating cell adhesion. The role and underlying molecular mechanism of SDCBP in ESCC remain obscure. Here, we report that SDCBP is frequently over...

Expression of TNFR2 by regulatory T cells in peripheral blood is correlated with clinical pathology of lung cancer patients
CD4+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) represent a major cellular mediator of cancer immune evasion. The expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor type II (TNFR2) on Tregs is reported to identify the maximally ...
