HSP-MOLECULAR CHAPERONES IN CANCER BIOGENESIS AND TUMOR THERAPY: AN OVERVIEW

2012

Molecular chaperones, many of which are heat-shock proteins (HSPs), are an important class of molecules with various functions. Pathological conditions in which chaperones become etiological and/or pathogenic factors are called chaperonopathies, and are classified into by defect, by excess, and by "mistake". In the latter case, the chaperone is structurally and functionally normal but paqrtecipates in pathwais that favor diseases, aòlthough in some cases the chaperone may have post-translational modifications that may lead it to change its location and function and, thus, to become pathogenic. For example, HSP-chaperones are involved in acrcinogenesis in various ways, so that some forms of …

Chaperons moleculae in brain tumors-CHAMOBRAT TRIAL: HSP60 and microRNAs related levels in tissue and circulating exosomes in human brain tumors befo…

Current regimen for high-grade gliomas is maximal safe surgical resection followed by external beam radiotherapy with concurrent temozolamide. Maximal tumor resection, however, must be balanced with preservation of the patient’s neurological function. A crucial prognostic factor in oncological neurosurgery is the extent of resection. Several studies have addressed the importance of extent of resection in gliomas surgery. Despite development in the fields of pre operative and intraoperative neuroimaging and neuromonitoring have ameliorated the survival rate and the quality of life for patients affected by high grade gliomas, the clinical outcome of patients with such gliomas remains extremel…

Von Fachsprachen zu Fachkulturen über Fachdiskurse: zum neuen Stellenwert sozio-und kulturlinguistischer Ansätze in der Fachsprachenforschung

2021

International audience; Die traditionelle Fachsprachenforschung war lange Zeit systemorientiert, insbesondere durch ihre starke Fokussierung auf Terminologie und Fachphraseologie. Seit ungefähr zwei Jahrzehnten hat sie ihr Spektrum, vor allem unter dem Einfluss der Interdisziplinarität, erweitert und bemüht sich heute, Einflüsse aus benachbarten Disziplinen wie Sozio-, Varietäten-, Diskurs- oder auch Ethnolinguistik zu integrieren. Dementsprechend stehen nun nicht nur Wörter, Sätze und Texte im Vordergrund, sondern vielmehr Akteure, Sprechergemeinschaften, Diskurse, Diskurstraditionen, usw. im Vordergrund.Der Beitragsvorschlag reiht sich in diese Tendenz ein und möchte an zwei unterschiedli…

Effect of sublethal concentrations of copper sulphate on seabreamSparus auratafingerlings

2007

The gilthead seabream is the most important Mediterranean aquacultured fish species. The main objective of this study was to investigate whether copper sulphate bath treatments used routinely in aquaculture have effects on important physiological functions of early life stages of the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). Fingerlings (80-90 days, 0.27 ± 0.06 g) were exposed to copper sulphate baths at 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.5 mg L −1 during 24 h. Effects on the central nervous function were evaluated analysing brain acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE). Oxidative stress was assessed by the quantification of lipid peroxidation (LP). Heat shock proteins (HSP70) were used as a general response to chem…

Effects of dichlorvos aquaculture treatments on selected biomarkers of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) fingerlings

2007

Abstract The gilthead sea bream ( Sparus aurata ) is the most important marine cultured species in the Mediterranean. Dichlorvos is one of the main chemical agents used in bath treatments against ectoparasites of marine farmed fish. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 24 h dichlorvos baths on selected biomarkers that are involved in important physiological functions or indicative of gilthead sea bream fingerlings growth. To attain this objective, the in vivo effects of dichlorvos on cholinesterases' activity (ChE), lipid peroxidation (TBARS), RNA/DNA ratio, glutathione S -transferases activity (GST) and heat shock proteins HSP70 were studied. The characterizat…

4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-isoxazolo-[4,5-c]-pyridines as a new class of cytotoxic Hsp90 inhibitors.

2014

Hsp90 is considered an interesting therapeutic target for anticancer drug development. Here we describe a new class of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-isoxazolo-[4,5-c]-pyridine compounds. A small library of derivatives has been synthesized and investigated. Some reported compounds show interesting properties combining both notable binding to Hsp90 and potent cell growth inhibitory activity. N-5 substitution with a 2,4 resorcinol carboxamide appears crucial for activity. Moreover, a derivative bearing a hydroxamic acid residue bound to C-3 amide portion was found to inhibit both Hsp90 and HDAC6.

Phytochemical Profile and Apoptotic Activity of Onopordum cynarocephalum.

2012

A phytochemical investigation of acetone and chloroform extracts of the aerial parts of Onopordum cynarocephalum Boiss. et Blanche was carried out. It led to the isolation of two new sesquiterpenes, the elemane aldehyde (2) and the eudesmane (11), together with 15 known compounds: two lignans (1 and 15) and 13 sesquiterpenes (3–10, 12–14, 16, 17). The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, especially 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The anti-growth effect against three human melanoma cell lines, M14, A375, and A2058, of the different extracts and compounds of O. cynarocephalum was also investigated. Among them, the chloroform extract exhibited the strongest biological activity, while t…

Intratumoral Heterogeneity for hsp90β mRNA Levels in a Breast Cancer Cell Line

1997

BC-3A and BC-61 are two breast cancer cell lines that have been cloned from parental 8701-BC cells and exhibit different biosynthetic, proliferative, and invasive properties in vitro. In the attempt to search whether alterations in the profiles of gene expression could be detected, we have submitted both cytotypes to identification of differentially expressed cDNAs. In addition, steroid hormone receptor mRNA arrays and in vivo tumorigenesis of the two lines have been checked. The technique used allowed identification of changes in the expression of the 90-kD heat shock protein-beta (hsp90beta) which is prominently down-regulated in BC-61 cells. Because we have also found that these cells, w…
