Screening of potential molecular targets for colorectal cancer therapy
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. To identify molecular targets for colorectal cancer therapy, we tested small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against 97 genes whose expression was elevated in human colorectal cancer tissues for the ability to promote apoptosis of human colorectal cancer cells (HT-29 cells). The results indicate that the downregulation of PSMA7 (proteaso...
متن کاملPotential Targets for Colorectal Cancer Prevention
The step-wise development of colorectal neoplasia from adenoma to carcinoma suggests that specific interventions could delay or prevent the development of invasive cancer. Several key factors involved in colorectal cancer pathogenesis have already been identified including cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), survivin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Clinical trial...
متن کاملRole of Molecular Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is amongst the most widespread cancers and is a most common cause of cancer associated mortality universally. Since previous decades, it has been cleared that CRC develops owing to the buildup of a series of genetic and epigenetic changes in the normal colonic epithelium. Regardless of the current development in surgery and therapies, overall survival of end stage CRC pa...
متن کاملColorectal cancer screening: potential pitfalls.
The National Health and Medical Research Council has recently issued guidelines on colo-rectal cancer, and given significant support to Colorectal Cancer Screening. However, the evidence of cost-effectiveness is inconclusive according to the Cochrane Centre. I argue that it would be wise to undertake trials that are appropriately funded. Otherwise, there is a risk that much money will be spent ...
متن کاملMolecular screening testing for colorectal cancer.
Worldwide, colorectal cancer is diagnosed in f1 million individuals each year, accounting for >9% of all new cancer cases (1). Approximately 529,000 people worldwide die of this disease annually. In 2006, it is estimated that 146,000 cases of colorectal cancer will occur in the United States with 55,000 deaths (2). Colorectal cancer is an excellent candidate for population-based screening becau...
