چکیده

The aim of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is to eliminate tumor cells. While the outcomes of these cytotoxic treatments have previously been assigned to their direct effects on tumor cells, recent findings have shown that the host's immune system also contributes to the success of chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic regimens. The finding that some cytotoxic antitumor coumpounds such as anthracyclines were capable of triggering a potent T-cell-dependent antitumor response has prompted the search for molecular determinants responsible for the immunogenicity of anthracyclines. Proteomic analyses of anthracycline-treated tumor cells have recently revealed the critical involvement of calreticulin in mediating the immunogenicity of dying tumor cells. Here, we focused on the molecular study of immunogenic chemotherapy which led to the characterization of calreticulin as a critical protein in immunogenic cancer cell death.

I-40: Male Genome Programming, Infertility and Cancer

Background: During male germ cells differentiation, genomewide re-organizations and highly specific programming of the male genome occur. These changes not only include the large-scale meiotic shuffling of genes, taking place in spermatocytes, but also a complete “re-packaging” of the male genome in post meiotic cells, leading to a highly compacted nucleo-protamine structure in the mature sperm...

Pharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches

Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...
