Chemoresistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
The treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC is based on the combination of platin and one of the following agents: taxanes, gemcitabine, vinorelbine or irinotecan. There are no significant differences in efficacy among these combinations suggesting that the maximum efficacy has been reached. In this review, we will consider the mechanisms of chemoresistance of the five groups of...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor and HER2/neu downregulate expression of apoptosis-inducing factor in non-small cell lung cancer.
Our previous study showed that patients with advanced stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were frequently detected with upregulation of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In vitro, HGF reduced expression of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and cisplatin sensitivity in NSCLC cells. The effect of HGF was via HGF receptor (c-MET) and the downstream effector, focal adhesion kinase (FAK). In th...
متن کاملLigand-induced Apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Pathway in Tumor Necrosis Factor-related Apoptosis-inducing
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)/APO-2L is a member of the TNF superfamily and has been shown to have selective antitumor activity. We here show that TRAIL does not induce apoptosis in some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. These cells are resistant to TRAIL because of the phosphatidylinositol 3 -kinase (PI3-K)-dependent activation of Akt/protein kin...
متن کاملAnti-Proliferative and Apoptosis-Inducing Effect of Theabrownin against Non-small Cell Lung Adenocarcinoma A549 Cells
With the highest cancer incidence rate, lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Tea (leaves of Camellia sinensis) has been widely used as a traditional beverage beneficial to human health, including anti-NSCLC activity. Theabrownin (TB) is one major kind of tea pigment responsible for the beneficial effects of tea liquor. Ho...
متن کاملMolecular Pathogenesis of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinomas
Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) from histological and biological perspectives is a complex neoplasm. The sequential preneoplastic changes have been defined for centrally arising squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the lung, and they are less documented for peripherally arising adenocarcinomas. The main morphologic forms of preneoplastic lesions recognized in the lung are squamous dysplasia...
