MicroRNA-203 inhibits malignant melanoma cell migration by targeting versican
MicroRNA (miR)-203 has been demonstrated to function as a suppressor in tumorigenesis. Recently, miR-203 was reported to play a role in malignant melanoma (MM); however, the detailed function of miR-203 in MM remains unclear. In the present study, the expression of miR-203 was shown to be significantly downregulated in MM tissues when compared with normal adjacent tissues. Based on a bioinforma...
متن کاملEnhancement of radiosensitivity in human malignant glioma cells by hypericin in vitro.
Hypericin, an antidepressant and antiviral agent being evaluated in phase I and II trials for patients with HIV infection, is known to be a potent protein kinase C inhibitor. We have investigated its effects on cellular response to radiation via a tetrazolium-formazan cell growth rate assay using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and clonogenic assay in three human g...
متن کاملThe effect of PTEN on proliferation and drug-, and radiosensitivity in malignant glioma cells.
BACKGROUND Deletions or mutations of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) are frequently observed in malignant glioma and are responsible for progression of the disease. Since the molecule is a promising target for gene therapy, the effects of PTEN on glioma proliferation in combination with the anti-neoplastic agent, temozolomide, and ionizing radiation were investigated. MATERIALS AND ...
متن کاملIncreased betulinic acid induced cytotoxicity and radiosensitivity in glioma cells under hypoxic conditions
BACKGROUND Betulinic acid (BA) is a novel antineoplastic agent under evaluation for tumor therapy. Because of the selective cytotoxic effects of BA in tumor cells (including gliomas), the combination of this agent with conservative therapies (such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy) may be useful. Previously, the combination of BA with irradiation under hypoxic conditions had never been studied. ...
متن کاملMicroRNA-203 As a Stemness Inhibitor of Glioblastoma Stem Cells
Glioblastoma stem cells (GBM-SCs) are believed to be a subpopulation within all glioblastoma (GBM) cells that are in large part responsible for tumor growth and the high grade of therapeutic resistance that is so characteristic of GBM. MicroRNAs (miR) have been implicated in regulating the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in cancer stem cells, including GBM-SCs, and they are a...
