Protein expression, gene amplification, epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and lung carcinoma.
EGFR belongs to the family of structurally and functionally similar ErbB or HER receptors on cell surfaces, which have intracellular tyrosine kinase activity. What all of these receptors have in common is that they consist of extracellular and membrane components to which ligand and intracellular components are bound via the tyrosine kinase activity . Under normal conditions the activity of Erb...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor receptor protein expression and gene amplification in small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
PURPOSE Small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is a highly aggressive malignancy with an average life expectancy of only a few months. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of many malignancies. This study was done to investigate EGFR protein expression and gene amplification in a large series of small cell carcinomas of the urinary...
متن کاملEpidermal Growth Factor Receptor Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Immunohistochemical Technique and its Correlation with Clinicopathological Features
Background:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity. Despite some improvements in treatment, the survival rate is still very low, mainly due to the possible development of secondary malignancy or metastasis. Clinical and pathological features as well as molecular biomarkers might predict the recurrence. In recent years, many studies ...
متن کاملRapid detection of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in lung cancer by the SMart-Amplification Process.
PURPOSE A positive response to gefitinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been correlated to mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. Previous reports have been based mainly on diagnostic screening by sequencing. However, sequencing is a time-consuming and complicated procedure, not suitable for routine clinical use. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We have developed rapid, simp...
