ADAM8 expression is associated with increased invasiveness and reduced patient survival in pancreatic cancer
ADAM8 belongs to a family of transmembrane proteins implicated in cell-cell interactions, proteolysis of membrane proteins, and various aspects of carcinogenesis. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the expression and function of ADAM8 in pancreatic cancer. ADAM8 mRNA levels were analysed by quantitative RT-PCR and correlated to patient survival. Immunohistochemistry was performed to loc...
متن کاملElevated expression of SATB1 is involved in pancreatic tumorigenesis and is associated with poor patient survival
Special AT‑rich sequence‑binding protein 1 (SATB1) is a master chromatin organizer which has been reported to be implicated in tumor progression in breast and lung cancer. However, its functions in pancreatic tumorigenesis have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, the involvement of SATB1 in pancreatic cancer development was investigated in human BxPC‑3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. S...
متن کاملReduced Expression of the ROCK Inhibitor Rnd3 Is Associated with Increased Invasiveness and Metastatic Potential in Mesenchymal Tumor Cells
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal and amoeboid movements are two important mechanisms adopted by cancer cells to invade the surrounding environment. Mesenchymal movement depends on extracellular matrix protease activity, amoeboid movement on the RhoA-dependent kinase ROCK. Cancer cells can switch from one mechanism to the other in response to different stimuli, limiting the efficacy of antimetastatic ther...
متن کاملLow PIAS3 expression in malignant mesothelioma is associated with increased STAT3 activation and poor patient survival.
PURPOSE Deregulation of STAT3 activation is a hallmark of many cancer cells, and the underlying mechanisms are subject to intense investigation. We examined the extent of PIAS3 expression in mesothelioma cells and human tumor samples and determined the functional effects of PIAS3 expression on STAT3 signaling. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We evaluated the expression of PIAS3 in mesothelioma tumors fro...
متن کاملIncreased Expression of Follistatin in Breast Cancer Reduces Invasiveness and Clinically Correlates with Better Survival.
BACKGROUND/AIM Activin and its antagonist follistatin (FST) have been implicated in several solid tumours. This study investigated the role of FST in breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS FST expression was examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry in a cohort of breast cancer sample...
