Therapeutic aptamers: developmental potential as anticancer drugs
Aptamers, composed of single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that interact with target molecules through a specific three-dimensional structure, are selected from pools of combinatorial oligonucleotide libraries. With their high specificity and affinity for target proteins, ease of synthesis and modification, and low immunogenicity and toxicity, aptamers are considered to be attractive mol...
متن کاملOncolytic Viruses as Anticancer Vaccines
Oncolytic virotherapy has shown impressive results in preclinical studies and first promising therapeutic outcomes in clinical trials as well. Since viruses are known for a long time as excellent vaccination agents, oncolytic viruses are now designed as novel anticancer agents combining the aspect of lysis-dependent cytoreductive activity with concomitant induction of antitumoral immune respons...
متن کاملMetformin as an Anticancer Drug: A Commentary on the Potential Therapeutic Strategy and Underlying Mechanism of Metformin in Gastric Cancer
Metformin therapy is a burst of interest in cancer chemoprevention and therapeutic strategies [1-4]. Epidemiological studies based on cohorts with type 2 diabetes revealed that metformin usage was associated with a reduced risk for various cancer, including breast, colorectal, prostate and pancreas cancers [5]. Meanwhile, the efficacy of cancer chemopreventive effect of metformin has achieved p...
متن کاملRunaway ROS as a selective anticancer strategy.
The majority of cancer therapies target macromolecules important for general cell survival, such as DNA, topoisomerase, and tubulin (e.g. , cisplatin, doxorubicin, and paclitaxel, respectively). While these agents are effective at killing many types of cancer cells, they also affect rapidly dividing normal cells, such as the intestinal lining and bone marrow, resulting in dose limiting toxiciti...
متن کاملLive bacterial vaccines – a review and identification of potential hazards
The use of live bacteria to induce an immune response to itself or to a carried vaccine component is an attractive vaccine strategy. Advantages of live bacterial vaccines include their mimicry of a natural infection, intrinsic adjuvant properties and their possibility to be administered orally. Derivatives of pathogenic and non-pathogenic food related bacteria are currently being evaluated as l...
