Beyond genetics: surprising determinants of cell fate in antitumor drugs.

چکیده
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Gascoigne and Taylor (2008) report their findings of following 10,000 single cells incubated with three classes of antimitotic drugs, including paclitaxel (taxol). This extensive analysis reveals a previously unappreciated complexity in response to such drugs and demonstrates that it is more than genetics that determines cell life or death.

Scorpion venom contains different toxins with multiple biological functions. IMe-AGAP is the first Analgesic-Antitumor like Peptide (AGAP) isolated from Iranian scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus. This peptide is similar to AGAP toxin with high analgesic activity, extracted from Chinese scorpion and inhibits NaV1.8 and NaV1.9 voltage-gated sodium channels involved in the ...
متن کاملThe importance of epigenetic modifications in cancer progression
Epigenetics are dynamic and inherited changes in the genome that occur independently of DNA sequencing. This phenomenon requires coherent interaction with various enzymes and other molecular components. Abnormal epigenetic changes can lead to the onset of improper gene expression and the promotion of tumorigenesis. Because epigenetic changes are prone to external and reversible factors, they ar...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Impact of Foretinib, an Oral Multikinase, on AURKA and AURKB Expression in T98 Glioblastoma Cell Line
Background/Objective: Gliomas are the most common of the primary brain tumors and accounted for more than 40% of all central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most fatal human malignancies because of its high angiogenic. Foretinib is an oral multikinase inhibitor that represented antitumor activity in clinical studies. AURKA and AURKB genes have been shown to b...
