Amplification of KCNMA1: A Potential Therapeutic Target in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in males and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in western countries. Although most prostate cancers initially respond well to androgen withdrawal, they become inevitably resistant to this treatment and progress to hormone-insensitive disease after only a few months or years. The therapeutic options in these advanced tumors are very limited. The ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution genomic and expression profiling reveals 105 putative amplification target genes in pancreatic cancer.
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) studies have provided a wealth of information on common copy number aberrations in pancreatic cancer, but the genes affected by these aberrations are largely unknown. To identify putative amplification target genes in pancreatic cancer, we performed a parallel copy number and expression survey in 13 pancreatic cancer cell lines using a 12,232-clone cDNA m...
متن کاملMET amplification as a potential therapeutic target in gastric cancer
Our aim was to investigate both the prevalence of MET amplification in gastric cancer as well as the potential of this genetic alteration to serve as a therapeutic target in gastric cancer. MET amplification was assessed by initial screening with a PCR-based copy number assay followed by confirmatory FISH analysis in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens of gastric cancer obtained at surg...
متن کاملEWS/FLI1 Target Genes and Therapeutic Opportunities in Ewing Sarcoma
Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive bone malignancy that affect children and young adults. Ewing sarcoma is the second most common primary bone malignancy in pediatric patients. Although significant progress has been made in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma since it was first described in the 1920s, in the last decade survival rates have remained unacceptably invariable, thus pointing to the need for ...
متن کاملThe Expression of Myogenin and Myostatin Genes in Baluchi Sheep
Myogenin gene (MYoG) affects the synthesis of muscle myofibrillar growth and increase of meat production. The myostatin (MSTN) gene is identified as a specific negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Reduction of the expression level of MSTN throughmutation in the sequence of this gene leads to an increase of myogenesis and regeneration of muscle cells during the postnatal growing period ...
