Inhibition of Cell Proliferation by an Anti-EGFR Aptamer
Aptamers continue to receive interest as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases, including cancer. In order to determine whether aptamers might eventually prove to be as useful as other clinical biopolymers, such as antibodies, we selected aptamers against an important clinical target, human epidermal growth factor receptor (hEGFR). The initial selection yielded only a singl...
متن کاملInhibition of DNA replication by an anti-PCNA aptamer/PCNA complex
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a multifunctional protein present in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells that plays an important role as a component of the DNA replication machinery, as well as DNA repair systems. PCNA was recently proposed as a potential non-oncogenic target for anti-cancer therapy. In this study, using the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SEL...
متن کاملAnti-EGFR Antibody Reduces Lung Nodules by Inhibition of EGFR-Pathway in a Model of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
EGFR belongs to the HER/ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors and its activation in cancer cells has been linked with increased proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, low-grade neoplasm that occurs sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a genetic, multisystem disorder characterized by hamartomas in several organs....
متن کاملInhibition of cell adhesion by anti-P-selectin aptamer: a new potential therapeutic agent for sickle cell disease.
Adhesive interactions between circulating sickle red blood cells (RBCs), leukocytes, and endothelial cells are major pathophysiologic events in sickle cell disease (SCD). To develop new therapeutics that efficiently inhibit adhesive interactions, we generated an anti-P-selectin aptamer and examined its effects on cell adhesion using knockout-transgenic SCD model mice. Aptamers, single-stranded ...
متن کاملInhibition of Cell Proliferation by Azathioprine1
The rise in DNA synthesis in regenerating rat liver is inhibited by azathioprine (40 mg/kg). Regeneration in the presence of azathioprine occurs by hypertrophy as assessed both by an increase in the ratio of RNA or protein to DNA and by an increase in diameter of the hepatocytes. Mitoses that occur in azathioprine-treated regenerating liver result from a G2 population that is apparently stimula...
