High miR-196a levels promote the oncogenic phenotype of colorectal cancer cells.

2009

AIM: To analyze the relevance of the microRNA miR-196a for colorectal oncogenesis. METHODS: The impact of miR-196a on the restriction targets HoxA7, HoxB8, HoxC8 and HoxD8 was analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after transient transfection of SW480 cancer cells. The miR-196a transcription profile in colorectal cancer samples, mucosa samples and diverse cancer cell lines was quantified by RT-PCR. Transiently miR-196a-transfected colorectal cancer cells were used for diverse functional assays in vitro and for a xenograft lung metastasis model in vivo. RESULTS: HoxA7, HoxB8, HoxC8 and HoxD8 were restricted by miR-196a in a dose-dependent and gene-specific mann…

Wee1 inhibition potentiates Wip1-dependent p53-negative tumor cell death during chemotherapy

2016

AbstractInactivation of p53 found in more than half of human cancers is often associated with increased tumor resistance to anti-cancer therapy. We have previously shown that overexpression of the phosphatase Wip1 in p53-negative tumors sensitizes them to chemotherapeutic agents, while protecting normal tissues from the side effects of anti-cancer treatment. In this study, we decided to search for kinases that prevent Wip1-mediated sensitization of cancer cells, thereby interfering with efficacy of genotoxic anti-cancer drugs. To this end, we performed a flow cytometry-based screening in order to identify kinases that regulated the levels of γH2AX, which were used as readout. Another criter…

Effet anti-tumoral de l'acide docosahexaénoïque : implication des microARNs et du TNFalpha

2015

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties. The anti-tumor effect of DHA in colorectal cancer might be attributed to direct anti-proliferative action on cancer cells and to its ability to reduce inflammatory status involved in tumor growth. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFa) is an inflammatory cytokine with paradoxical effect in cancer biology. According to the cellular context, TNFa activates RIP1 kinase dependent signaling pathway leading to proliferation or cell death. Our aim was to evaluate the role of TNFa in anti-proliferative effect of DHA in colon cancer cells and to precise the molecular mechanisms regulat…

Isolated lung perfusion with chemotherapy in a pig model

2014

Introduction: The isolated lung perfusion (ILP) is an experimental technique which main objective is to deliver high dose of cytotoxic agent to the lung tissue without systemic exposure. The thesis took place in three stages: first stage, setting in vitro the chemotherapy the most efficient against colorectal cancer (CCR) cells in 30 min. Second stage, develop the ILP technique in a pig model. Third stage, lead a dose escalation study with chemotherapy by ILP.Methods: First stage, efficacy of various cytotoxic molecules against a panel of human CCR cell lines was tested in vitro after a 30-minute exposure. Second stage, pigs were treated with chemotherapy delivered by ILP during 30 minutes …

Dual Inhibition of Myc Transcription and PI3K Activity Effectively Targets Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells

2022

Despite advances in the curative approach, the survival rate of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is still poor, which is likely due to the emergence of cancer cell clones resistant to the available therapeutic options. We have already shown that CD44v6-positive CRC stem cells (CR-CSCs) are refractory toward standard anti-tumor therapeutic agents due to the activation of the PI3K pathway together with high HER2 expression levels. Tumor microenvironmental cytokines confer resistance to CR-CSCs against HER2/PI3K targeting by enhancing activation of the MAPK pathway. Here, we show that the CSC compartment, spared by BRAF inhibitor-based targeted therapy, is associated with increased ex…

Dissecting the Mechanism of Action of Spiperone—A Candidate for Drug Repurposing for Colorectal Cancer

2022

Approximately 50% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients still die from recurrence and metastatic disease, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Drug repurposing is attracting increasing attention because, compared to traditional de novo drug discovery processes, it may reduce drug development periods and costs. Epidemiological and preclinical evidence support the antitumor activity of antipsychotic drugs. Herein, we dissect the mechanism of action of the typical antipsychotic spiperone in CRC. Spiperone can reduce the clonogenic potential of stem-like CRC cells (CRC-SCs) and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, in both differentiated and CRC-SCs, at clinically relevant co…

Expresión de microRNAs en la zonas de transición epitelio mesenquimal en el carcinoma colorectal como factor inmunomodulador y pronóstico. Estudio cl…

2018

El subgrupo mesenquimal (CMS4) de la clasificación molecular de consenso de cáncer colorectal es el tipo más agresivo y de peor pronóstico, y se caracteriza por la sobre expresión de genes implicados en el mecanismo de transición epitelio mesenquimal (TEM). La desdiferenciación tumoral focal (DTF) es el reflejo histológico del proceso de TEM. En base a estos conocimientos nos planteamos explorar la influencia de la DTF en la expresión de genes y microRNAs implicados en el proceso de TEM y evaluar su utilidad como factores predictivos de supervivencia. Analizamos de forma retrospectiva el grado de DTF en una serie de 125 especímenes de colectomía en todos los estadios clínicos. Evaluamos la …

Identity | The colors of project

2017

“Identity | The Colors of Project” è il primo Convegno Internazionale organizzato da 110eLab, Associazione Culturale per la promozione del design siciliano, con la collaborazione dell’INBAR | Sezione Trapani. L’obiettivo, nel quadro del Piano Colore Isole Egadi, è di analizzare la costruzione dell’identità attraverso una strategia sapientemente progettata. Ciò può essere brand, di aziende come di enti, dunque immagine coordinata (marchio, carattere tipografico, gamma cromatica...), oppure una campagna fotografica o ancora una qualità visiva che emerge grazie all’impiego di segni distintivi che fanno sistema. L’attenzione soprattutto è rivolta alla qualità, non soltanto visiva, che definisce…
