Resistance to Proteasome Inhibitors in Cancer
Molecular Mechanisms and Strategies to Overcome Resistance
Article
Copper is an essential nutrient whose redox properties make it both beneficial and toxic to the cell. Recent progress in studying transition metal signalling has forged new links between researchers of differe...
Article
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Although medical treatment has made impressive progress in recent years, it is still one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in men and wo...

The first line therapy for patients with diffuse large B cell (DLBCL) is R-CHOP. About half of DLBCL patients are either refractory to, or will relapse, after the treatment. Therefore, identifying novel drug t...

In the past 15 years, the proteasome has been validated as an anti-cancer drug target and 20S proteasome inhibitors (such as bortezomib and carfilzomib) have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multi...
Article
Deubiquitinases (DUBs) play an important role in protein quality control in eukaryotic cells due to their ability to specifically remove ubiquitin from substrate proteins. Therefore, recent findings have focus...

A single nucleotide polymorphism, rs10486567, in JAZF1 has consistently been associated with increased risk of prostate cancer. The physical interaction of zinc finger proteins, such as JAZF1, with heavy metals m...

Molecular Mechanisms and Strategies to Overcome Resistance
Chapter
Selective protein degradation by the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway (UPP) is critical to cellular homeostasis, and dysregulation of the UPP has been associated with human diseases including cancer. Proteasome in...
Chapter
The proteasome is a multi-subunit protease complex, responsible for the degradation of misfolded, damaged, or short-lived proteins. Indeed, more than 90 % of intracellular proteins are degraded through the ubi...
Chapter
Nutritional phytochemicals, distributed throughout the plant kingdom, possess anticancer activities associated with their consumption. This chapter will focus on the cellular activities of phytochemicals, thei...
Article
Thoracic malignancies and human breast cancer (HBC) continue to be aggressive solid tumors that are poor responders to the existing conventional standard chemotherapeutic approaches. Malignant pleural mesothel...
Article
Proteasome inhibition is an attractive approach to anticancer therapy and may have relevancy in breast cancer treatment. Natural products, such as dietary flavonoids, have been suggested as natural proteasome ...
Article
A physiological feature of many tumor tissues and cells is the tendency to accumulate high concentrations of copper. While the precise role of copper in tumors is cryptic, copper, but not other trace metals, i...
Protocol
Induction of tumor cell death by chemotherapeutic modalities often occurs in a cell cycle-dependent manner. It has also been observed that several regulatory proteins involved in tumor chemosensitivity and apo...
