GSK-3 as potential target for therapeutic intervention in cancer
The serine/threonine kinase glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) was initially identified and studied in the regulation of glycogen synthesis. GSK-3 functions in a wide range of cellular processes. Aberrant activity of GSK-3 has been implicated in many human pathologies including: bipolar depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)...
متن کاملThe GSK-3 family as therapeutic target for myocardial diseases.
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is one of the few signaling molecules that regulate a truly astonishing number of critical intracellular signaling pathways. It has been implicated in several diseases including heart failure, bipolar disorder, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer disease, aging, inflammation, and cancer. Furthermore, a recent clinical trial has validated the feasibility of targeting ...
متن کاملGangliosides: potential diagnostic as well as therapeutic target for cancer.
A large number of studies have been performed and are still being carried out to understand the basis and genetic control mechanism of cancer cells. Unfortunately, knowledge derived from such studies is still fragmentary and is far from allowing us any significant practical application. However, essentially all cancer cells are characterized by aberration in their cell surface glycosylations wh...
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 کاملAndrogen receptor as potential therapeutic target in metastatic endometrial cancer
PURPOSE The expression and involvement of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) is extensively studied in endometrial cancer. Androgen receptor (AR) is a hormone receptor less studied in female cancers, and we here aim to investigate the expression level of AR in endometrial cancer precursor lesions, primary tumors and metastases, and its potential as therapeutic target. RESULTS Expres...
