چکیده
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors elicits a strong host immune response and one of its manifestations is a pronounced neutrophilia. By blocking their function prior to Photofrin-based PDT of mouse EMT6 tumors, we have identified multiple mediators whose regulated action is responsible for this neutrophilia. In addition to complement fragments (direct mediators) released as a consequence of PDT-induced complement activation, there are at least a dozen secondary mediators that all arise as a result of complement activity. The latter include cytokines IL-1b, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-10, G-CSF and KC, thromboxane, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, histamine, and coagulation factors. q 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

The inhibitory effects of the dormant spores, the germinating spores, the sporoderm-broken germinating spores (SBGS), and the lipids extracted from the germinating spores of Ganoderma lucidum on the growth of mouse hepatoma, sarcoma S-180, and reticulocyte sarcoma L-II cells were investigated, respectively. The dormant spores could be activated by germination, and thus the bioactivities of the ...

The clinical significance of osteonectin in human stomach cancer was examined immunohistochemically and molecular biologically in 31 differentiated and eight undifferentiated stomach adenocarcinomas and 19 non-cancer stomach tissues. Osteonectin-mAb-stained cells were observed in stroma of 90% differentiated and 63% undifferentiated adenocarcinomas, and of 26% non-cancer stomach tissues. Compet...

To evaluate interactions between lifestyle factors and glutathione-S-transferases M1 (GSTM1) and GSTT1 genotypes with reference to development of esophageal and stomach cancers, we conducted a case-control study of 141 cases of esophageal cancer, 153 cases of stomach cancer and 223 population-based controls in Huaian City of Jiangsu Province, China. GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes were identified by ...

The monoterpene perillyl alcohol (POH) is a naturally occurring anti-cancer compound which is effective against a variety of rodent organ-specific tumor models. To establish the molecular mechanisms of POH and its major metabolite perillic acid (PA) as anti-proliferative agents, their effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell cycle regulatory proteins were studied in HCT 116 human colo...

As a chemiluminescence (CL) probe, 3,7-dihydro-6-{4-{2-(N 0-(5-fluoresceinyl) thioureido)ethoxy}phenyl}-2-methylimidazo{1,2-a}pyrazin-3-one dosium salt (FCLA) can sensitively and specifically react with singlet oxygen (O2) and superoxide (O2 ). Based on the fact that photosensitization action involves O2 generation, this report presents a novel method for localization of tumor mediated by FCLA....
