An engineered microfluidic blood-brain barrier model to evaluate the anti-metastatic activity of β-boswellic acid
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Background The development of anti-cancer drugs with the ability to inhibit brain metastasis through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is substantially limited due to the lack of reliable in vitro models. Main Methods In ... -
Association between metabolically healthy obesity and metastasis in lung cancer patients – a systematic review and meta-analysis
( Frontiers Media , 2023 , Article Review)Background: Many clinical trials have looked at the relationship between obesity and lung cancer (LC), however, there is scarcity of literature specifically addressing the association between metabolically healthy obesity ... -
Claudin-1, A Double-Edged Sword in Cancer.
( MDPI , 2020 , Article Review)Claudins, a group of membrane proteins involved in the formation of tight junctions, are mainly found in endothelial or epithelial cells. These proteins have attracted much attention in recent years and have been implicated ... -
Contribution of Heparan Sulphate Binding in CCL21-Mediated Migration of Breast Cancer Cells
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Chemokine receptor CCR7 is implicated in the metastasis of breast cancer to the lymph nodes. Chemokine function is dependent upon their binding to both cell-surface heparan sulphate (HS) and to their specific receptors; ... -
Cytokine- and chemokine-induced inflammatory colorectal tumor microenvironment: Emerging avenue for targeted therapy
( Wiley , 2022 , Article Review)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a predominant life-threatening cancer, with liver and peritoneal metastases as the primary causes of death. Intestinal inflammation, a known CRC risk factor, nurtures a local inflammatory environment ... -
Decoding the functional role of extracellular vesicles in hepatocellular carcinoma: implications in clinical theranostics
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer in adults, the sixth most commonly diagnosed neoplasia, and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite tangible ... -
Ethanolic extract of Origanum syriacum L. leaves exhibits potent anti-breast cancer potential and robust antioxidant properties
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer overall. In women, BC is the most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Triple-negative BC (TNBC) is the most aggressive BC, ... -
Exploring Dysregulated Signaling Pathways in Cancer.
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2020 , Article Review)Cancer cell biology takes advantage of identifying diverse cellular signaling pathways that are disrupted in cancer. Signaling pathways are an important means of communication from the exterior of cell to intracellular ... -
Fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5)-related signal transduction pathway in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells: a potential therapeutic target
( Oxford University Press , 2019 , Article Review)In this short communication, a novel fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5)-related signal transduction pathway in prostate cancer is reviewed. In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells, the FABP5-related signal ... -
The Non-Coding RNA and Its Role in Tumor Therapy-Induced Resistance.
( MDPI , 2020 , Article)The growth arrest-specific transcript 5 () is a >200-nt lncRNA molecule that regulates several cellular functions, including proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, across different types of human cancers. Here, ... -
A novel in ovo model to study cancer metastasis using chicken embryos and GFP expressing cancer cells.
( Association of Basic Medical Sciences of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina , 2019 , Article)Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. To date, several in vitro methodologies have been developed to understand the mechanisms of cancer metastasis and to screen various therapeutic ... -
Novel role of BRCA1 interacting C-terminal helicase 1 (BRIP1) in breast tumour cell invasion
( Wiley Open Access , 2020 , Article)Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy and the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Only 5%-10% of mutations in BRCA genes are associated with familial breast tumours in Eastern countries, suggesting the ... -
PCF11, a Novel CD44-Downstream Transcriptional Target, Linking Its 3'-End Polyadenylation Function to Tumor Cell Metastasis
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Article Review)Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common and the major health issue in women worldwide. Metastasis, a multistep process, is the worst aspect of cancer and tumor cell invasion is the defining step. Tumor cell invasion requires ... -
The Role of CCL21/CCR7 Chemokine Axis in Breast Cancer Progression
( MDPI , 2015 , Article Review)Tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis facilitates breast cancer progression by generating new lymphatic vessels that serve as conduits for tumor dissemination to lymph nodes and beyond. Given the recent evidence suggesting the ... -
The Role of Extracellular Vesicles as Modulators of the Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis and Drug Resistance in Colorectal Cancer.
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates. A number of factors including modulation of the tumor microenvironment, high metastatic capability, and resistance ... -
SIRT1, a novel transcriptional downstream target of CD44, linking its deacetylase activity to tumor cell invasion/metastasis
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Short Survey)Our tetracycline-off-inducible CD44 expression system previously established in mouse model, revealed that activation of CD44 with its major ligand hyaluronan (HA) promoted breast cancer (BC) metastasis to the liver. To ... -
