NF-κB Signalling in Glioblastoma
Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is a transcription factor regulating a wide array of genes mediating numerous cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, motility and survival, to name a few. Aberrant activation of NF-κB is a frequent event in numerous cancers, including glioblastoma, the most common and lethal form of brain tumours of glial cell origin (collectively termed gliomas). G...
متن کاملhedgehog signalling pathway: carcinogenesis and targeted therapy
hedgehog signalling pathway has not only a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and tissue polarity at embryonic period but also has a vital role in stem cell proliferation, tissue healing and carcinogenesis. recent research has increased our understanding of this pathway and its relation to other signalling pathways. in addition, a large number of studies confirmed the alterati...
متن کاملA leak pathway for luminal protons in endosomes drives oncogenic signalling in glioblastoma.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling is a potent driver of glioblastoma, a malignant and lethal form of brain cancer. Disappointingly, inhibitors targeting receptor tyrosine kinase activity are not clinically effective and EGFR persists on the plasma membrane to maintain tumour growth and invasiveness. Here we show that endolysosomal pH is critical for receptor sorting and turnove...
متن کاملA Rac-cGMP Signaling Pathway
The small GTPase Rac and the second messenger cGMP (guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate) are critical regulators of diverse cell functions. When activated by extracellular signals via membrane signaling receptors, Rac executes its functions through engaging downstream effectors such as p21-activated kinase (PAK), a serine/threonine protein kinase. However, the molecular mechanism by which memb...
متن کاملHedgehog signalling in medulloblastoma, glioblastoma and neuroblastoma.
We investigated a role for Hedgehog signalling in glioblastoma, neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma by studying the transcription of PTCH, SMO, GLI1 and GLI3 in a total of 25 cell lines by standard RT-PCR and qRT-PCR, before and after 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine and trichostatin A (TSA) treatments. Also 25 glioblastoma samples were tested by qRT-PCR. We also performed real-time methylated specific PCR...
