Acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor expression levels in cervical cancer and their effects on tumor cell proliferation

Authors: Q.H. Zhang, P. Xu, Y.X. Lu and H.T. Dou

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play important roles in angiogenesis, wound healing, embryonic development, and endocrine signaling pathways. Increasingly, recent studies have reported aberrant FGF expression in various malignancies. However, the involvement of FGFs in cervical carcinoma pathogenesis remains unclear. We aimed.. Read More»

Propofol inhibits proliferation and accelerates apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells by regulation of microRNA-451 and MMP-2 expression

Authors: Z. Peng and Y. Zhang

Propofol is an extensively used intravenous anesthetic agent. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of propofol on the behavior of human gastric cancer cells and the molecular mechanisms associated with this activity. The effects of propofol on proliferation and apoptosis in the SGC-7901 gastric cancer cell .. Read More»

MicroRNA-199a-3p is downregulated in gastric carcinomas and modulates cell proliferation

Authors: W. Peng, Z.-Y. Chen, L. Wang, Z. Wang and J. Li

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the translation of targeted mRNAs. An increasing amount of evidence indicates that miRNAs play important role in cancer pathogenesis, apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Recently, miRNA-199a has been shown to be involved in many human cancers, although .. Read More»

Inhibition of human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell growth following combination treatment with resveratrol and imatinib mesylate

Authors: X.J. Wang and Y.H. Li

To investigate the effect of treatment with resveratrol combined with imatinib mesylate on human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell growth inhibition and apoptosis, in vitro cultured human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells were incubated with different concentrations of resveratrol and imatinib mesylate when the cells were in the logarithmic pha..

Inhibition of subcutaneously implanted human pituitary tumor cells in nude mice by LRIG1

Authors: X. Wang, X.J. He, H.Q. Xu, Z.W. Chen and H.H. Fan

The aim of this study was to explore the inhibition of subcutaneously implanted human pituitary tumor cells in nude mice by LRIG1 and its mechanism. For this study, athymic nude mice were injected with either normal pituitary tumor RC-4B/C cells or LRIG1-transfected RC-4B/C cells. We then calculated the volume inhibition rate .. Read More»

NDC80 promotes proliferation and metastasis of colon cancer cells

Authors: X.K. Xing, H.Y. Wu, H.L. Chen and H.G. Feng

Chromosome instability is a common feature of tumor cells, and may be an important mechanism in tumor formation. Nuclear division cycle 80 (NDC80) is closely associated with the stability of chromosomes. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between NDC80 and development of colon cancer using a range of methods. Western .. Read More»

MicroRNA-154 functions as a tumor suppressor and directly targets HMGA2 in human non-small cell lung cancer

Authors: H.C. Zhuo, Y.F. Song, J. Ye, G.X. Lai and D.L. Liu

MicroRNA-154 (miR-154) is dysregulated in some human malignancies and is correlated with tumor progression. However, its expression and function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. Therefore, we explored the effects of miR-154 on NSCLC tumorigenesis and development. Using quantitative reverse transcription-po.. Read More»

Branches of the NF-�?ºB signaling pathway regulate proliferation of oval cells in rat liver regeneration

Authors: W.M. Zhao, Y.L. Qin, Z.P. Niu, C.F. Chang, J. Yang, M.H. Li, Y. Zhou and C.S. Xu1,

The NF-kB (nuclear factor kB) pathway is involved in the proliferation of many cell types. To explore the mechanism of the NF-kB signaling pathway underlying the oval cell proliferation during rat liver regeneration, the Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array was used to detect expression changes of NF-kB signaling pathway-related genes in ..

Effects of Sirtuin 1 on the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells and stem cells from apical papilla

Authors: Q.-B. Zhang, W. Cao, Y.-R. Liu, S.-M. Cui and Y.-Y. Yan

The function of SIRT1 in the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of dental stem cells is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the roles of SIRT1 in these processes using periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs). A defined concentration of resveratrol, an SIRT1 activ.. Read More»
