Overexpression of Periostin in Stroma Positively Associated with Aggressive Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND Periostin is an important extracellular matrix protein involved in cell development and adhesion. Previously, we identified periostin to be up-regulated in aggressive prostate cancer (CaP) using quantitative glycoproteomics and mass spectrometry. The expression of periostin was further evaluated in primary radical prostatectomy (RP) prostate tumors and adjacent non-tumorous prostate ...
متن کاملPeriostin Mediates TGF-β-Induced Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition in Prostate Cancer Cells.
BACKGROUND In our previous study, we found that periostin was upregulated in prostate cancer, and its expression could be modulated by TGF-β. TGF-β could upregulate periostin expression in some cells, and both TGF-β and periostin could induce epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). We aimed to study the effect of periostin in the process of TGF-β-induced EMT in prostate cancer cells. METHODS...
متن کاملPeriostin suppression induces decorin secretion leading to reduced breast cancer cell motility and invasion
The ability of cancer cells to metastasize is dependent on the interactions between their cell-surface molecules and the microenvironment. However, the tumor microenvironment, especially the cancer-associated stroma, is poorly understood. To identify proteins present in the stroma, we focused on phyllodes tumors, rare breast tumors that contain breast stromal cells. We compared the expression o...
متن کاملSynergistic Effects of NDRG2 Overexpression and Radiotherapy on Cell Death of Human Prostate LNCaP Cells
Background: Radiation therapy is among the most conventional cancer therapeutic modalities with effective local tumor control. However, due to the development of radio-resistance, tumor recurrence and metastasis often occur following radiation therapy. In recent years, combination of radiotherapy and gene therapy has been suggested to overcome this problem. The aim of the current study was to e...
متن کاملPeriostin, a matrix specific protein, is associated with proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer.
Overexpression of periostin is present in various malignant tumors and correlates with disease progression. However, its clinicopathological significance in pancreatic cancer is currently not known. Expression of periostin was analyzed by RT-PCR and western blotting in pancreatic cancers and cell lines. Using immunohistochemistry, expression of periostin in pancreatic cancers was evaluated acco...
