Synthesis and biodistribution study of a chlorotoxin derivative peptide labeled with 131- iodine for tumor therapy
Background: Chlorotoxin is a 36-amino acid peptide found in the venom of the Leiurus quinquestriatus which blocks small-conductance chloride channels. Chlorotoxin binds preferentially to glioma cells that allow development of new methods for the treatment and diagnosis of several types of cancer. Thus chlorotoxin derivative was labeled with 131I for further investigation. Materials and...
متن کاملExpression of human alpha(1,3)fucosyltransferase antisense sequences inhibits selectin-mediated adhesion and liver metastasis of colon carcinoma cells.
The initial steps of leukocyte and tumor cell adhesion involve selectin receptor/ligand interactions. The selectin ligand components sialyl Lewis x and sialyl Lewis a are oncodevelopmental antigens involved in progression of adenocarcinoma. Interrupting biosynthesis of these surface glycans by inhibition of alpha(1,3)fucosyltransferase (FUT) gene expression is an attractive goal for functional ...
متن کاملHuman alpha galactosidase and alpha 1,2 fucosyltransferase concordantly inhibit xenoreactivity of NIH 3T3 cells with human serum.
AIM To study the influence of the expression of human alpha galactosidase and alpha1,2 fucosyltransferase on Gal alpha 1,3 Gal and consequent xenoreactivity in NIH3T3 cells. METHODS The expression levels of G antigen and H antigen and binding of human natural antibodies (IgG and IgM) and complement (C3c) to NIH3T3 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot was employed to further det...
متن کاملSerum Fucosylated Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Improves the Differentiation of Aggressive from Non-aggressive Prostate Cancers
BACKGROUND Clinically, it is still challenging to differentiate aggressive from non-aggressive prostate cancers (Pca) by non-invasive approaches. Our recent studies showed that overexpression of alpha (1-6) fucosyltransferase played an important role in Pca cells. In this study, we have investigated levels of glycoproteins and their fucosylated glycoforms in sera of Pca patients, as well as the...
متن کاملSignificance of Altered a-2-L-Fucosyltransferase Levels in Serum of Leukemic Patients
Serum or-2-L-fucosyltransferase levels were measured in 20 patients with leukemia. I .«HUT than normal levels were found in patients with acute leukemia and higher than normal activity was demonstrated in patients with chronic granulocytic leukemia. a-2-L-Fucosyltransferase activity is expressed in platelets, and in both groups of leukemic patients this enzyme activity in serum was found to co...
