Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells: A New Target for Cancer Therapy
Ovarian cancer is a highly lethal disease among all gynecologic malignancies and is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Although the standard combination of surgery and chemotherapy was initially effective in patients with ovarian cancer, disease relapse commonly occurred due to the generation of chemoresistance. It has been reported that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are invol...
متن کاملPTTG: an important target gene for ovarian cancer therapy
Pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG), also known as securin is an important gene involved in many biological functions including inhibition of sister chromatid separation, DNA repair, organ development, and expression and secretion of angiogenic and metastatic factors. Proliferating cancer cells and most tumors express high levels of PTTG. Overexpression of PTTG in vitro induces cellular tr...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملLysophosphatidic Acid- A Target in Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer Therapy
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), one of the simplest and most potent lysophospholipids exerting many physiological and pathological actions on various cell types, plays also an essential role in tumorigenesis and cancer metastasis. Overexpression of LPA and its receptors is a common phenomenon in metastatic carcinomas that can be used in new diagnostics strategies. Both, in the ovarian and endometr...
