KAI1 expression is up-regulated in early pancreatic cancer and decreased in the presence of metastases.
KAI1 is a metastasis suppressor gene for prostate cancer that is located on chromosome 11p11.2-13. Using Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization, we studied expression of KAI1 mRNA in specimens from 14 normal pancreases and 27 primary pancreatic cancers, and then correlated the findings with the clinical and histopathological parameters of the patients. Northern blot analysis showed in...
متن کاملHeparanase expression in primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The human endoglycosidase heparanase (hpa) degrades heparan-sulfate proteoglycans, which constitute prominent components of basement membranes and extracellular matrix. Due to the critical function of hpa in cancer cell invasion and metastasis, we have analyzed the expression of hpa in human primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer as well as in the normal pancreas and in chronic pancreatic inf...
متن کاملIntrinsic chemoresistance to gemcitabine is associated with decreased expression of BNIP3 in pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE Although chemotherapy with gemcitabine is a common mode of treatment of pancreatic cancer, 75% of patients do not benefit from this therapy. It is likely that the sensitivity of cancer cells to gemcitabine is determined by a number of different factors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To identify genes that might contribute to resistance to gemcitabine, 15 pancreatic cancer cell lines were subjec...
متن کاملStromal Annexin A2 expression is predictive of decreased survival in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is renowned for high rates of metastasis and poor survival. Its notoriously dense fibrotic stroma contributes to chemoresistance. Stromal signaling in PDA is recognized for its multiple roles in regulating tumor invasion and metastasis. However, no stromal biomarker which can predict survival in PDA exists. Annexin A2 (AnxA2) was formerly identified as a m...
متن کاملDecreased expression of BECN1 mRNA is associated with lupus nephritis
This study aimed to investigate the mRNA expression of the autophagy-related gene BECN1 in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and to analyse the relationship of its expression with SLE clinical characteristics and disease activities. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of BECN1 in 79 SLE patients and 45 healthy controls. BECN1 was downregula...
