Gsk-3β
Despite continuous advances in the knowledge of breast cancer pathophysiology, this type of neoplasia remains a leading cause of cancer-related death in women, with more than 450 000 deaths every year worldwide. 1 surgery, coupled with radiation and/or che-motherapy, remains the main approach for breast cancer treatment. However, another common therapeutic option is based on the use of the estr...
متن کاملComparison of Several Maturation Inducing Factors in Dendritic Cell Differentiation
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells that have an important role in the initiation of immune response. The use of maturation factors in dendritic cell differentiation provides a promising approach in immunotherapy. Objective: In this study, we compared tumor necrosis factor-α, polyribocytidylic acid, lipopolysacharide and CpG oligonucleotides in inducing d...
متن کاملThe Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation
Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...
متن کاملOvercoming hypoxia-induced apoptotic resistance through combinatorial inhibition of GSK-3β and CDK1.
Tumor hypoxia is an inherent impediment to cancer treatment that is both clinically significant and problematic. In this study, we conducted a cell-based screen to identify small molecules that could reverse the apoptotic resistance of hypoxic cancer cells. Among the compounds, we identified were a structurally related group that sensitized hypoxic cancer cells to apoptosis by inhibiting the ki...
متن کاملGSK-3β Controls Osteogenesis through Regulating Runx2 Activity
Despite accumulated knowledge of various signalings regulating bone formation, the molecular network has not been clarified sufficiently to lead to clinical application. Here we show that heterozygous glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta)-deficient mice displayed an increased bone formation due to an enhanced transcriptional activity of Runx2 by suppressing the inhibitory phosphorylation a...
