*The extent to which melanoma alters tissue-resident dendritic cell function correlates with tumorigenicity.* Oncoimmunology. 2016;5(1):e1069462Authors: Hargadon KMAbstractWe have shown that melanoma-derived factors alter the function of differentiated tissue-resident dendritic cells (DC) in a tumorigenicity-dependent manner. Soluble factors, including TGFβ1 and VEGF-A, contributed to dendritic cell dysfunction associated with a highly-aggressive melanoma and conferred a phenotype upon DC likely to favor immune escape and tumor outgrowth.PMID: 26942090 [PubMed - as supplied ...περισσότερα »

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Microvesicles Support Ex Vivo Expansion of Cord Blood-Derived CD34+ Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to support the characteristic properties of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow hematopoietic microenvironment. MSCs are used in coculture systems as a feeder layer for the ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood (CB) to increase the relatively low number of HSPCs in CB. Findings […]

Endogenous Generation of Singlet Oxygen and Ozone in Human and Animal Tissues: Mechanisms, Biological Significance, and Influence of Dietary Components

Recent studies have shown that exposing antibodies or amino acids to singlet oxygen results in the formation of ozone (or an ozone-like oxidant) and hydrogen peroxide and that human neutrophils produce both singlet oxygen and ozone during bacterial killing. There is also mounting evidence that endogenous singlet oxygen production may be a common occurrence in […]

Long-Term Dynamics of Urban Soil Pollution with Heavy Metals in Moscow

Results of 21-year-long (1989–2010) observations of the concentrations and the spatial distribution patterns of nine heavy metals (HMs) in topsoils of the Eastern district of Moscow are presented. The quantitative parameters of soil pollution include the annual increase rates of HM concentrations in several land-use zones. The maps of geochemical anomalies were compiled using the […]

Characterization of passive permeability at the blood–tumor barrier in five preclinical models of brain metastases of breast cancer

Abstract The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is compromised in brain metastases, allowing for enhanced drug permeation into brain. The extent and heterogeneity of BBB permeability in metastatic lesions is important when considering the administration of chemotherapeutics. Since permeability characteristics have been described in limited experimental models of brain metastases, we sought to define these changes in […]

Effects of cyclopiazonic acid and dexamethasone on serotonin-induced calcium responses in vascular smooth muscle cells

Abstract We previously observed that sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) blockade by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) significantly potentiates serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT))-induced vascular contractions. Furthermore, 5-HT receptor antagonist methysergide partially inhibited CPA-potentiated 5-HT contractions. In the present study, we further investigated whether SERCA inhibition potentiates 5-HT-induced Ca2+ responses along with attenuating the receptor antagonism by store-operated Ca2+ […]

The extent to which melanoma alters tissue-resident dendritic cell function correlates with tumorigenicity.

*The extent to which melanoma alters tissue-resident dendritic cell function correlates with tumorigenicity.* Oncoimmunology. 2016;5(1):e1069462Authors: Hargadon KMAbstractWe have shown that melanoma-derived factors alter the function of differentiated tissue-resident dendritic cells (DC) in a tumorigenicity-dependent manner. Soluble factors, including TGFβ1 and VEGF-A, contributed to dendritic cell dysfunction associated with a highly-aggressive melanoma and conferred a phenotype upon DC likely to favor immune escape and tumor outgrowth.PMID: 26942090 [PubMed - as supplied ...περισσότερα »

Long non-coding RNA-Low Expression in Tumor inhibits the invasion and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by regulating p53 expression.

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοHead,Neck,Brain,Cervical Spine and Esophageal Cancers by Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 1 ώρα
Authors: Wang PL, Liu B, Xia Y, Pan CF, Ma T, Chen YJ Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in governing fundamental biological processes, and, in many lncRNAs, the expression level is altered and likely to have a functional role in tumorigenesis, including apoptosis, migration and invasion. The lncRNA‑Low Expression in Tumor (LET), a recently identified lncRNA, was demonstrated to be downregulated in hepatocellular and gallbladder cancer. However, its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) requires investigation. The expression level of lncRNA‑LET mRNA i...περισσότερα »

Secreted recombinant human IL-24 protein inhibits the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma Eca-109 cells in vitro and in vivo.

Authors: Ma Q, Jin B, Zhang Y, Shi Y, Zhang C, Luo D, Wang P, Duan C, Song H, Li X, Deng X, Chen Z, Wang Z, Jiang H, Liu Y Abstract Interleukin-24 (IL-24) displays cancer-specific apoptosis-inducing properties in a broad spectrum of human tumors without harmful effects on normal cells. The human IL-24 protein is secreted as a glycosylated protein and functions as a pro-Th1 cytokine and a potent antiangiogenic molecule. However, the function of secreted recombinant human IL-24 (srhIL-24) protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells has not been studied. In the present...περισσότερα »

The role of cofilin-l in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma: A marker of carcinogenesis, progression and targeted therapy.

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοHead,Neck,Brain,Cervical Spine and Esophageal Cancers by Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 1 ώρα
Authors: Wu Q, Jiang Y, Cui S, Wang Y, Wu X Abstract Numerous studies have revealed that cofilin-l (CFL1) is associated with cancer cell migration and invasion in various types of tumor tissues. We investigated the roles of CFL1 in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC). CFL1 expression was detected in VSCC and normal vulvar tissues using immunohistochemistry and western blotting. The vulvar carcinoma SW962 cell line was transfected with CFL1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and exposed to periplocoside. We then assessed changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis...περισσότερα »

Introduction: The primary goal of chronic ear surgery is the creation of a safe, clean dry ear. For cholesteatomas, complete removal of disease is dependent on visualization. Conventional microscopy is adequate for most dissection, but various subregions of the middle ear are better visualized with endoscopy. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to quantitatively assess the improved visualization that endoscopes afford as compared with operating microscopes.

In cancer, PD-1 blockade partially reverses T cell dysfunction allowing the amplification of tumor reactive T cells.
