Human carcinomas

It is a basic task in high-throughput gene expression profiling studies to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two phenotypes. RankComp, an algorithm, could analyze the highly stable withinsample relative expression orderings (REOs) of gene pairs in a particular type of human normal tissue that are widely reversed in the cancer condition, thereby detecting DEGs for individual disease samples measured by a particular platform.

Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) HOTAIR was amplified and overexpressed in many human carcinomas, which could serve as a useful target for cancer early detection and treatment. The 99mTc radiolabeled antisense oligonucleotides (ASON) could visualize the expression of HOTAIR and provide a diagnostic value for malignant tumors.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest cancers. Research on HCC so far primarily focused on genes and provided limited information on genomic repeats, which constitute more than half of the human genome and contribute to genomic stability. In line with this, repeat dysregulation was significantly shown to be pathological in various cancers and other diseases. In this study, we aimed to determine the full repeat expression profile of HCC for the first time.

Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins modulate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling networks by terminating signals produced by active Gα subunits. RGS17, a member of the RZ subfamily of RGS proteins, is typically only expressed in appreciable amounts in the human central nervous system, but previous works have shown that RGS17 expression is selectively upregulated in a number of malignancies, including lung, breast, prostate, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Group IID secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IID), a heparin-binding sPLA2 that is closely related to sPLA2-IIA, augments stimulus-induced cellular arachidonate release in a manner similar to sPLA2-IIA. Here we identified the residues of sPLA2-IID that are responsible for heparanoid binding, are and therefore essential for cellular function.

It was shown previously [Riedinger, H. J., van Betteraey-Nikoleit, M & Probst, H. (2002)Eur. J. Biochem.269, 2383–2393] that initiation ofin vivo SV40 DNA replication is reversibly suppressed by hypoxia in a state where viral minichromosomes exhibit a nearly complete set of repli-cation proteins. Reoxygenation triggers fast completion and post-translational modifications.

The intracellular role of placental protein 17b (PP17b)/ TIP47has been controversial, because it is considered tobe a protein required for mannose 6-phosphate receptor trans-port from endosome totrans-Golgi as well as a neutral lipid droplet-associatedprotein.The similaritybetween theamino acid sequences of PP17 variants, adipophilin and perilipins, andbetween their gene structures indicate that PP17baswell as other alternatively spliced PP17 variants belong to the lipid storage droplet protein family, containing also some differentiation factors....

Minichromosome maintenance proteins (Mcm) 2–7 play essential roles in eukaryotic DNA replication.

Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has attractedmuch attention because of its ability to kill tumour cells. In this study, we demonstrated that treatment of QGY-7703 cells with the combination of TRAIL and etoposide resulted in synergistic cytotoxic effects. In dissecting the mechanism underlying this syner-gistic effect, we found that treatment with etoposide alone resulted in the upregulation of Bax, while the level of trun-catedBid (tBid)wasunchanged.

Adecrease in the level ofO-acetylatedsialicacidsobserved in colorectal carcinoma may lead to an increase in the expres-sion of sialyl Lewis X , a tumor-associated antigen, which is related toprogressionof colorectal cancer tometastasis. The underlyingmechanism for this reduction is, however, not fully understood. Two enzymes are thought to be primarily responsible for the turnover of O-acetyl ester groups on sialic acids; sialate-O-acetyltransferase (OAT) and sialate-O-acetylesterase (OAE).

We investigated the role ofb3Gal-T5, a member of the b1,3galactosyltransferase (b1,3Gal-T) family, in cancer-associated glycosylation, focusing on the expression of sialyl-Lewis a (sLe a , the epitope of CA19.9 antigen), poly N-acetyllactosamines, and sialyl-Lewis x (sLe x )antigen.A clone permanently expressing an antisense fragment of b3Gal-T5 was obtained from the human pancreas adeno-carcinoma cell line BxPC3 and characterized. Bothb1,3Gal-T activity and sLe a expression are dramatically impaired in the clone. ...

The Rho-like GTPase Rac regulates distinct actin cytoskeleton changes required for adhesion, migration and invasion of cells. Tiam1 specifically activates Rac, and Rac has been shown to affect several signaling pathways in a partly cell-type-specific manner. Recently, we demonstrated that Rac activation inhibits Matrigel invasion of human carcinoma cells by tran-scriptional upregulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1.

Hepatitis C virus is a human pathogen responsible for liver diseases includ-ing acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Its high prevalence, the absence of a prophylactic vaccine and the poor effi-ciency of current therapies are huge medical problems. Since the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, our knowledge of its biology has been largely punctuated by the development of original models of research.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and c-met play a major role in cancer invasion and metastasis. Evidence has suggested that uPA and c-met overexpression may be coordinated in human hepatocellular carci-noma (HCC). In the present study, to understand whether the expression of these genes might be coregulated by specific microRNAs (miRs) in human cells, we predicted thatHomo sapiensmicroRNA-23b could recog-nize two sites in the 3¢-UTR of uPA and four sites in the c-met 3¢-UTR by the algorithm pictar. ...

Despite the aberrant expression of cholinesterases in tumours, the question of their possible contribution to tumorigenesis remains unsolved. The identifica-tion in kidney of a cholinergic system has paved the way to functional studies, but details on renal cholinesterases are still lacking. To fill the gap and to determine whether cholinesterases are abnormally expressed in renal tumours, paired pieces of normal kidney and renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) were compared for cholinesterase activity and mRNA levels....
