A mouse model recapitulating molecular features of human mesothelioma.
Malignant mesothelioma has been linked to asbestos exposure and generally has a poor prognosis because it is often diagnosed in advanced stages and is refractory to conventional therapy. Human malignant mesotheliomas accumulate multiple somatic genetic alterations, including inactivation of the NF2 and CDKN2A/ARF tumor suppressor genes. To better understand the significance of NF2 inactivation ...
متن کاملThe Progressive BSSG Rat Model of Parkinson's: Recapitulating Multiple Key Features of the Human Disease
The development of effective neuroprotective therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been severely hindered by the notable lack of an appropriate animal model for preclinical screening. Indeed, most models currently available are either acute in nature or fail to recapitulate all characteristic features of the disease. Here, we present a novel progressive model of PD, with behavioural and ce...
متن کاملMouse Models Recapitulating Human Adrenocortical Tumors: What Is Lacking?
Adrenal cortex tumors are divided into benign forms, such as primary hyperplasias and adrenocortical adenomas (ACAs), and malignant forms or adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs). Primary hyperplasias are rare causes of adrenocorticotropin hormone-independent hypercortisolism. ACAs are the most common type of adrenal gland tumors and they are rarely "functional," i.e., producing steroids. When funct...
متن کاملAn estrogen-induced endometrial hyperplasia mouse model recapitulating human disease progression and genetic aberrations
Endometrial hyperplasia (EH) is a condition originating from uterine endometrial glands undergoing disordered proliferation including the risk to progress to endometrial adenocarcinoma. In recent years, a steady increase in EH cases among younger women of reproductive age accentuates the demand of therapeutic alternatives, which emphasizes that an improved disease model for therapeutic agents e...
متن کاملPiroxicam and cisplatin in a mouse model of peritoneal mesothelioma.
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of piroxicam, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, alone and in combination with cisplatin (CDDP), on cell growth of mesothelioma cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Cell proliferation, cell cycle analysis, and microarray technology were done on MSTO-211H and NCI-H2452 cells treated with piroxicam. Moreover, the effects of ...
