PREPARAZIONE E CARATTERIZZAZIONE DI NANOSISTEMI LIPIDICI PER IL DIREZIONAMENTO E IL RILASCIO MODIFICATO DI FARMACI E ACIDI NUCLEICI IN TERAPIA ONCOLO…
2016
sono stati sviluppati sistemi nanoparticellari in grado di intrappolare elevate quantità di farmaci e di legare materiale genico. I sistemi preparati sono stati caratterizzati da un punto di vista chimico-fisico e tecnologico farmaceutico. Sono stati infine utilizzati per prove in vitro e i risultati ottenuti hanno mostrato che essi possiedono le caratteristiche per potere essere considerati dei validi carrier per farmaci e materiale genico nel trattamento oncologico.
The synthetic cannabinoid WIN sensitizes hepatocellular carcinoma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis by activating p8/CHOP/DR5 axis.
2010
In this paper we demonstrate that the synthetic cannabinoid WIN sensitizes human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells to apoptosis mediated by TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL). The apoptotic mechanism induced by treatment with WIN/TRAIL combination involved the loss of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential and led to the activation of caspases. In HCC cells WIN treatment induced up-regulation of TRAIL death receptor DR5, an effect which seemed to be related to the increase in the level of p8 and CHOP, two factors implicated in cellular stress response and apoptosis. This relationship was suggested by the observation that the down-regulation of p8 or CHOP by specific siRNAs …

ESPRESSIONE DI VEGF, HSP90 E Bip/GRP78 E RICORRENZA DI CARCINOMA EPATOCELLULARE DOPO TRAPIANTO DI FEGATO
Background and aims Liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a satisfactory therapeutic choice in patients with “early HCC” selected according to Milan criteria. However, the risk of HCC recurrence after LT is about 7-10% at five years and markers which can predict recurrence are still lacking. We investigated in HCC samples and LC surrounding tissues the significance of VEGF, HSP90, and Bip/GRP78 expression in patients with HCC who underwent LT in a western transplantation center and their possible role as markers of recurrence. Background and aims Liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a satisfactory therapeutic choice in patients with “ea…

EPATOMI MALIGNI DEL BAMBINO
1991
I tumori magli del fegato in età pediatrica sono rappresentati da due forme istologiche differenti: l'Epatoblastoma (EPB) e l'Epatocarcinoma (EPC). Gli Autori esaminano le caratteristiche cliniche, la stadiazione e gli aspetti terapeutici. Vengono altresì presentati i dati della letteratura ed i risultati del Protocollo Italiano di cura di queste neoplasie.
Pekinenin E Inhibits the Growth of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Promoting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Mediated Cell Death.
2017
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant primary liver cancer with poor prognosis. In the present study, we report that pekinenin E (PE), a casbane diterpenoid derived from the roots of Euphorbia pekinensis, has a strong antitumor activity against human HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. PE suppressed the growth of human HCC cells Hep G2 and SMMC-7721. In addition, PE-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused increasing expressions of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), leading to apoptosis in HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of ER stress with CHOP small interfering RNA or 4-phenyl-butyric acid partially reversed PE-induced cell death. Furthermore, PE induced S ce…
