Open AccessExpression of MACC1 and c-Met in human gastric cancer and its clinical significance
Recent studies have suggested that the metastasis-associated colon cancer1 (MACC1) gene can promote tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis through an upregulation of c-Met expression. However, its role i...

RNAi-mediated gene silencing of vascular endothelial growth factor-C inhibits tumor lymphangiogenesis and growth of gastric cancer in vivo in mice
Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) has been implicated as a critical molecular signal in tumor development by promoting intratumoral lymphangiogenesis. The aim of this study was to...

A chemokine receptor CCR2 allele delays HIV-1 disease progression and is associated with a CCR5 promoter mutation
Viral and host factors influence the rate of HIV-1 disease progression1. For HIV-1 to fuse, a CD4+ cell must express a co-receptor that the virus can use2,3. The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are used by ...

The role of a mutant CCR5 allele in HIV–1 transmission and disease progression
A 32–nucleotide deletion (δ32) within the β–chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) gene has been described in subjects who remain uninfected despite extensive exposure to HIV–1. This allele was found to be common in the ...
