  • However, it was not known how fascin's movement or function within the nucleus are controlled, and this hinders our ability to develop treatments that block its role in promoting cancer growth and spread. (elifesciences.org)
  • The effect of autophagy inhibition using pharmacologic (3-methyladenine and chloroquine) and genetic [(short hairpin (sh)-mediated knock-down of ATG7 and LAMP2) and small interfering (si)RNA-mediated BECN1 knock-down] approaches on TR-induced cell death was assessed by clonogenic survival, sub-G1 DNA content, and annexinV/PI staining by flow cytometry. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Pharmacologic (chloroquine or 3-methyladenine) and genetic (shATG7 or shLAMP2) inhibition of autophagy led to cell death in TR-resistant C4-2 cells. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Inhibition of autophagic flux using chloroquine prevented clearance of p62 aggregates, leading to caspase-8 activation and cell death in C4-2 cells. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In PC3 cells, inhibition of autophagy induction prevented p62 accumulation and hence caspase-8 activation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of autophagy in PCa cell lines indicate that autophagic flux can determine the cellular response to TR by regulating caspase-8 activation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Three T-ALL cell lines (ALL-SIL, MOLT-16, and LOUCY) were highly sensitive to BCL2 inhibition within a panel of cell lines tested. (lu.se)
  • Generally, the Veterans Administration Lung Group (VALSG) 2-stage system is most commonly used for managing small cell lung cancer (SCLC). (medscape.com)
  • This information could eventually lead to new ways of treating pancreatic cancer, according to findings published by Mi et al in Cancer Research . (ascopost.com)
  • We hope that our results will not only lead to a better fundamental understanding of cancer, but also [to] the potential to provide prognostic guidance to clinicians treating pancreatic cancer. (ascopost.com)
  • On average, only about 10% of people with pancreatic cancer will survive for 5 years. (ascopost.com)
  • Gene fusions frequently result from rearrangements in cancer genomes. (nih.gov)
  • We found that 35% of cell lines harbored either a fusion partner dependency or a collateral dependency on a gene within the same topologically associating domain as a fusion partner. (nih.gov)
  • Biological assays and gene expression analysis were performed on three cell lines: ISH, MFE-296 and MFE-280. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • There are some chromosome and gene abnormalities that are associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer. (medicinenet.com)
  • Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed enrichment of cytokine signaling in all three cell lines which was supported by the phospho-kinase array where STAT5 phosphorylation was found to be elevated in resistant cells. (lu.se)
  • About 95% of stomach Stomach The stomach is a large, bean-shaped, hollow muscular organ consisting of four regions: Cardia Fundus Body Antrum read more cancers are adenocarcinomas. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Adenocarcinomas of the stomach originate from the glandular cells of the stomach lining. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Stage I -- The cancer is small and has not spread to the lymph nodes. (medlineplus.gov)
  • We used VES and FBZ, at low concentrations, singly and in combination, to test their inhibitory effects on proliferation of human and mouse prostate cancer cells in vitro. (researchgate.net)
  • Although regulatory element rearrangements and copy number alterations resulting from these structural variants are known to lead to transcriptional dysregulation across cancers, the extent to which these events result in functional dependencies with an impact on cancer cell survival is variable. (nih.gov)
  • A combination of the PET and CT Scans, performed at the same time, can present a more detailed image of the presence or extent of cancer in the body. (youngsurvival.org)
  • Indeed, cells without fascin were unable to build nuclear actin bundles to the same extent. (elifesciences.org)
  • Five-year survival rates vary according to lung cancer stage, which is the extent to which the cancer has spread. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • only information about the current extent of the cancer is added. (medscape.com)
