Breast carcinoma metastasis suppressor gene 1 (BRMS1): update on its role as the suppressor of cancer metastases.
( Springer , 2015 , Article)BRMS1 was discovered over a decade ago as a potential tumor suppressor gene. In this review, we summarize the recent findings about the structure of BRMS1, mechanisms of its action and a role of BRMS1 in the cancer ... -
Epac as a tractable therapeutic target
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)In 1957, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) was identified as the first secondary messenger, and the first signaling cascade discovered was the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Since then, cAMP has received increasing ... -
Erratum: Author Correction: Signatures of co-deregulated genes and their transcriptional regulators in colorectal cancer (NPJ systems biology and applications (2020) 6 1 (23))
( NLM (Medline) , 2020 , Other)In the original version of this Article, the wrong images were supplied for Figures 7 and 10. This has now been corrected in both the HTML and PDF versions of the Article. -
Methodological considerations for identifying multiple plasma proteins associated with all-cause mortality in a population-based prospective cohort
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Novel methods to characterize the plasma proteome has made it possible to examine a wide range of proteins in large longitudinal cohort studies, but the complexity of the human proteome makes it difficult to identify robust ... -
Nanomedicine for Cancer.
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2022 , Other)Over the past decades, oncology has occupied the lion’s share of all nanomedical applications [1-3]. In 2020, up to 65% of the clinical trials involving nanomaterials were attending to cancer therapeutics and diagnostics ... -
Naturally-Occurring Bioactives in Oral Cancer: Preclinical and Clinical Studies, Bottlenecks and Future Directions
( IMR Press Limited , 2022 , Article)Oral cancer (OC) is the eighth most common cancer, particularly prevalent in developing countries. Current treatment includes a multidisciplinary approach, involving chemo, radio, and immunotherapy and surgery, which depends ... -
New clinical approaches and emerging evidence on immune-checkpoint inhibitors as anti-cancer therapeutics: CTLA-4 and PD-1 pathways and beyond
( Begell House Inc. , 2019 , Article)The development of immune checkpoint blockers, primarily comprising the anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies, has formed the therapeutic landscape of quite a few different cancer types. In spite of ... -
Paradoxical effects of statins on endothelial and cancer cells: the impact of concentrations
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)In addition to their lipid-lowering functions, statins elicit additional pleiotropic effects on apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation, senescence, and oxidative stress. Many of these effects have been reported in cancerous ... -
Prevalence of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer in Autopsy Studies Over Six Decades: A Meta-Analysis
( American Society of Clinical Oncology , 2016 , Article)Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) incidence has been reported to have increased three- to 15-fold in the past few decades. It is unclear whether this represents overdiagnosis or a true increase in incidence. Therefore, ... -
RKIP in human diseases and its potential as a prognostic indicator and therapeutic target
( Elsevier , 2020 , Book chapter)The Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) is an inhibitor of the RAF/MEK/ERK and NF-κB signaling pathways, through which it regulates several key processes of the cell's physiology, such as its proliferation, motility and ... -
Signaling pathways activated by PACAP in MCF-7 breast cancer cells
( Elsevier Inc. , 2018 , Article)PACAP has opposing roles ranging from activation to inhibition of tumor growth and PACAP agonists/antagonists could be used in tumor therapy. In this study, the effect of PACAP stimulation on signaling pathways was ... -
Targeted and systemic insights into the crosstalk between DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit and receptors of estrogen, progesterone and epidermal growth factor in the context of cancer
( Springer , 2021 , Article)DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) has emerged as a regulator of carcinogenesis. Increased expression of DNA-PKcs correlates with metastatic cancers. Here we review recently reported crosstalk of ... -
The power of phytochemicals combination in cancer chemoprevention
