Next Generation of Preclinical Liver Cancer Models.

چکیده
Because of its heterogeneity, lack of prognostic markers, tumor-escape mechanisms, and frequent relapse upon surgical intervention, treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains challenging. In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Groß and colleagues characterize a rodent model that might help identify novel drugs for combinatorial sorafenib-based therapies for HCC.

Preclinical Models for Investigation of Herbal Medicines in Liver Diseases: Update and Perspective
Liver disease results from a dynamic pathological process associated with cellular and genetic alterations, which may progress stepwise to liver dysfunction. Commonly, liver disease begins with hepatocyte injury, followed by persistent episodes of cellular regeneration, inflammation, and hepatocyte death that may ultimately lead to nonreversible liver failure. For centuries, herbal remedies hav...
متن کاملGeneration of liver-specific TGF-α and c-Myc-overexpressing fibroblasts for future creation of a liver cancer porcine model.
Liver cancer is one of the most serious life-threatening diseases in the world. Although the rodent model of hepatocellar carcinoma (HCC) is commonly used, it is limited when considering preclinical applications, including transarterial chemoembolization. The pig is a more appropriate model for applying preclinical procedures as it has similar anatomical and physiological characteristics to hum...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Alzheimer Disease
Significant insights into the function of genes associated with Alzheimer disease and related dementias have occurred through studying genetically modified animals. Although none of the existing models fully reproduces the complete spectrum of this insidious human disease, critical aspects of Alzheimer pathology and disease processes can be experimentally recapitulated. Genetically modified ani...
متن کاملLung Cancer Stem Cell: New Insights on Experimental Models and Preclinical Data
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. Understanding lung tumors physiopathology should provide opportunity to prevent tumor development or/and improve their therapeutic management. Cancer stem cell (CSC) theory refers to a subpopulation of cancer cells, also named tumor-initiating cells, that can drive cancer development. Cells presenting these characteristics have been identif...
متن کاملA clinically relevant androgen receptor mutation confers resistance to second-generation antiandrogens enzalutamide and ARN-509.
UNLABELLED Despite the impressive clinical activity of the second-generation antiandrogens enzalutamide and ARN-509 in patients with prostate cancer, acquired resistance invariably emerges. To identify the molecular mechanisms underlying acquired resistance, we developed and characterized cell lines resistant to ARN-509 and enzalutamide. In a subset of cell lines, ARN-509 and enzalutamide exhib...
