Open AccessGene expression profiles provide insights into the survival strategies in deep-sea mussel (Bathymodiolus platifrons) of different developmental stages
Deep-sea mussels living in the cold seeps with enormous biomass act as the primary consumers. They are well adapted to the extreme environment where light is absent, and hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other hy...

Loss of fatty acid synthase suppresses the malignant phenotype of colorectal cancer cells by down-regulating energy metabolism and mTOR signaling pathway
Altered cellular metabolism has received increased attention as an important hallmark of cancer. Activation of FASN has been found to be involved in many human tumors. Despite extensive research in FASN funct...

High mixing effectiveness lobed nozzles and mixing mechanisms
For a circular lobed nozzle with the exit plane displaced from the center body, adding a central plug at exit or replacing the nozzle with an alternating-lobe nozzle can improve the mixing effectiveness. In th...

Open AccessExpressions of fatty acid synthase and HER2 are correlated with poor prognosis of ovarian cancer
The present study was designed to explore the cross talk between fatty acid synthase (FASN) and HER2 (ErbB2) in ovarian cancer. A total of 60 ovarian cancer patients and 15 normal ovarian tissues were enrolled...

The possible protective mechanism of Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in memory impairments induced by Aβ25–35 in rats
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the accumulation and deposition of Aβ peptides in human brains. Aβ peptides are toxic to neurons by lots of mechanisms of which Aβ induced oxidative stress is one of the...

Open AccessLoss of fatty acid synthase inhibits the “HER2-PI3K/Akt axis” activity and malignant phenotype of Caco-2 cells
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is frequently activated and overexpressed in human cancers, and plays a crucial role in the carcinogenesis of various cancers. In this study, our aims were to explore the role of FAS...

The “HER2–PI3K/Akt–FASN Axis” Regulated Malignant Phenotype of Colorectal Cancer Cells
Recent evidence suggests that HER2 (ErbB2; Her-2/neu) and the related PI3K/Akt signaling pathway substantially affect the malignant phenotype of colorectal cancer cells. Moreover, fatty acid synthase (FASN), w...

Expression of p53, Ki-67 and c-Myc Proteins is Predictive of the Surgical Molecular Margin in Colorectal Carcinoma
Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for colorectal carcinoma, however, the overall survival is modest due to frequent local recurrence from residual cancer cells after “curative” resection. Therefo...

Molecular detection of disseminated tumor cells in the peripheral blood in patients with gastrointestinal cancer
In this study, 62 preoperative peripheral blood samples from patients with gastrointestinal carcinomas, 12 healthy volunteers, and ten patients with inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases were analyzed for the...
