Karyotypic "state" as a potential determinant for anticancer drug discovery.
Cancer is a genetic disease caused by genomic instability. In many cancers, this instability is manifested by chromosomal reconfigurations and karyotypic complexity. These features are particular hallmarks of the epithelial cancers that are some of the malignancies most resistant to long term control by current chemotherapeutic agents. We have asked whether we could use karyotypic complexity an...
متن کاملEDITORIALS Anticancer Drug Discovery
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) human tumor cell line panel for screening potential new anticancer drugs is now operational (/). Its implementation and the demonstration of its feasibility represent a technical and organizational tour de force. The rationale for the change in the primary screen from leukemias in mice to the array of 60 human cancer cell lines was earlier debated in cont...
متن کاملAu Nanoparticle Loaded with 6-Thioguanine Anticancer Drug as a New Strategy for Drug Delivery
In this study we suggested a new strategy for drug delivery of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) as a cancer drug by loading of this thiolic drug at a surface of Au nanoparticles. For this goal, we synthesized Au nanoparticle (Au/NPs) by reduction of tetrachloroauric (III) acid solutions by sodium borohydride and characterized Au/NPs by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Ultravi...
متن کاملThiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery
The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...
متن کاملA new paradigm for drug discovery: integrating clinical, genetic, genomic and molecular phenotype data to identify drug targets.
Application of statistical genetics approaches to variations in mRNA transcript abundances in segregating populations can be used to identify genes and pathways associated with common human diseases. The combination of this genetic information with gene expression and clinical trait data can also be used to identify subtypes of a disease and the genetic loci specific to each subtype. Here we hi...
