AMG900 as novel inhibitor of the translationally controlled tumor protein
2020
Abstract Introduction Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Classical cytotoxic chemotherapy exerts high side effects and low tumor selectivity. Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a target for differentiation therapy, a promising, new therapeutic approach, which is expected to be more selective and less toxic than cytotoxic chemotherapy. The aim of the present investigation was to identify novel TCTP inhibitors. Methods We performed in silico screening and molecular docking using a chemical library of more than 31,000 compounds to identify a novel inhibitor of TCTP. We tested AMG900 in vitro for binding to TCTP by microscale thermophoresis and co-immunoprec…
Molecular analysis of differential antiproliferative activity of resveratrol, epsilon viniferin and labruscol on melanoma cells and normal dermal cel…
2018
IF 3.778 (2016); International audience; Very recently, we have produced new resveratrol derived compounds, especially labruscol by culture of elicited grapevine cell suspensions (Vitis labrusca L.). This new polyphenolic oligomer could function as cancer chemopreventive agent in similar manner of resveratrol. In this study, we have determined the efficiency of resveratrol, ε-viniferin and the labruscol on human melanoma cell with or without metastatic phenotype. Our results show a differential activity of the three compounds where the resveratrol remains the polyphenolic compound with the most effective action compared to other oligomers. These three compounds block cell cycle of melanoma …
Dibutyltin(IV) and Tributyltin(IV) Derivatives of meso-Tetra(4 sulfonatophenyl)porphine Inhibit the Growth and the Migration of Human Melanoma Cells.
2019
Melanoma is the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer, which is largely due to its propensity to metastasize. Therefore, with the aim to inhibit the growth and the metastatic dissemination of melanoma cells and to provide a novel treatment option, we studied the effects of the melanoma treatment with two organotin(IV) complexes of the meso-tetra(4-sulfonato-phenyl)porphine, namely (Bu2Sn)2TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS. In particular, we showed that nanomolar concentrations of (Bu2Sn)2TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS are sufficient to inhibit melanoma cell growth, to increase the expression of the full-length poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1), to induce the cell cycle arrest respectively at G2/M a…
GDF11 exhibits tumor suppressive properties in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by restricting clonal expansion and invasion.
2019
Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) has been characterized as a key regulator of differentiation in cells that retain stemness features, despite some controversies in age-related studies. GDF11 has been poorly investigated in cancer, particularly in those with stemness capacity, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most aggressive cancers worldwide. Here, we focused on investigating the effects of GDF11 in liver cancer cells. GDF11 treatment significantly reduced proliferation, colony and spheroid formation in HCC cell lines. Consistently, down-regulation of CDK6, cyclin D1, cyclin A, and concomitant upregulation of p27 was observed after 24 h of treatment. Interestingly,…
Histone deacetylase inhibition by suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid: a therapeutic approach to treat human uterine leiomyoma.
2022
Objective To evaluate the effect of inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) by suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) treatment of human uterine leiomyoma primary (HULP) cells in vitro on cell proliferation, cell cycle, extracellular matrix (ECM) formation, and transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3) signaling. Design Prospective study comparing uterine leiomyoma (UL) vs. adjacent myometrium (MM) tissue and cells with or without SAHA treatment. Setting Hospital and university laboratories. Patient(s) Women with UL without any hormone treatment. Intervention(s) Myomectomy or hysterectomy surgery in women for leiomyoma disease. Main Outcome Measure(s) HDAC activity was assessed by enzyme-li…
Expression of cell-cycle regulatory proteins cyclin D1, cyclin E, and their inhibitor p21 WAF1/CIP1 in gastric cancer.
1999
The expression and prognostic role of cyclin D1, cyclin E, and p21 (WAF1/CIP1) were immunohistochemically investigated in 413 curatively resected gastric carcinomas. p21 was expressed in 65.4 per cent (n=270), cyclin D1 in 23.7 per cent (n=98), and cyclin E in 13.6 per cent ( n=56) of the tumours. The expression of p21, cyclin D1, and cyclin E was positively associated with the papillary or tubular type of the WHO classification, as well as with the intestinal type according to the Lauren classification. No significant correlation could be found between the expression of p21, cyclin D1 and cyclin E and the parameters pT category, lymph node involvement, and blood vessel and lymphatic vessel…
Molecular analysis of the 9p21 locus and p53 genes in Ewing family tumors.
2001
The EWS-ETS rearrangements, and their respective fusion gene products, are specifically associated with histopathologically Ewing family tumors (EFT). These translocations are implicated in generating malignant transformation of EFT, but the presence of additional genetic alterations must be considered in the pathogenesis of such tumors. We analyzed 26 samples (biopsies and/or nude mice xenotransplants) collected from 19 patients with an EFT to determine whether molecular and cytogenetic alterations of the G(1)/S checkpoint genes are implicated in the pathogenesis of EFT. We found inactivating p53 mutations in three (16%) cases, which correlated with a loss of p21(WAF1/Cip1) expression and …
Temsirolimus for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.
2010
Although recent progress has been made in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) the majority of patients experience relapse and ultimately die of their disease. The translocation t(11;14) is a prerequisite for the diagnosis of MCL and results in overexpression of cyclin D1. Its protein translation is controlled by mTOR, a key element of the PI3K/Akt pathway, and mTOR constitutes an attractive therapeutic target. Temsirolimus, a specific inhibitor of mTOR, has been evaluated in two Phase II trials in patients with relapsed MCL, and promising response rates up to 40% were found. Subsequently, a randomized Phase III trial was initiated, in which superiority in remission induction and pro…
Polymorphisms of microRNA target genes
2016
AIM To evaluate associations between miRNA target genes IL12B, INSR, CCND1 and IL10 polymorphisms and gastric cancer (GC) in European population. METHODS Gene polymorphisms were analyzed in 508 controls and 474 GC patients from 3 tertiary centers in Germany, Lithuania and Latvia. Controls were patients from the out-patient departments, who were referred for upper endoscopy because of dyspeptic symptoms and had no history of previous malignancy. Gastric cancer (GC) patients had histopathological verification of gastric adenocarcinoma. Genomic DNA was extracted using salting out method from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. IL12B T>G (rs1368439), INSR T>C (rs1051690), CCND1 A>C (rs7177) and…
Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 expression correlates to tumor staging in tongue squamous cell carcinoma
2015
Background The immunohistochemical expression of Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 were analyzed in tongue squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), relating them to the clinical and morphological exhibition of these tumors. Material and Methods Twenty-nine patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria; clinical data included gender, age, ethnicity and use of licit drugs such as alcohol and tobacco. The TNM staging and histopathological differentiation grading was assessed for each case. In addition, T1 patients were gathered with T2 patients; and T3 patients were gathered with T4 patients to assemble two distinct groups: (T1/T2) and (T3/T4). Results The mean follow-up time was 24 months and 30% of the patients died a…
