Non-invasive diagnosis and detection of early-stage tumors is regarded as one of the current challenges in the biomedical sciences. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful, non-invasive imaging technique because of its high spatial resolution and tomographic capabilities. However, the signal sensitivity of MR imaging for specific biological targets is largely dependent on the specificity ...
Temozolomide (TMZ) is a drug that has been demonstrated to improve the survival time of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) when administered with concomitant radiotherapy. However, chemoresistance is one of the major obstacles in the treatment of GBM. In the present study, an MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to demonstrate that chlorotoxin-like toxin in the venom of the scorpion ...
Human malignant gliomas are highly invasive tumors. Mechanisms that allow glioma cells to disseminate, migrating through the narrow extracellular brain spaces are poorly understood. We recently demonstrated expression of large voltage-dependent chloride (Cl(-)) currents, selectively expressed by human glioma cells in vitro and in situ (Ullrich et al., 1998). Currents are sensitive to several Cl...
Animal venom research is a specialized investigation field, in which a number of different methods are used and this array is constantly expanding. Thus, recently emerged omics and nanotechnologies have already been successfully applied to venom research. Animal venoms have been studied for quite a long time. The traditional reductionist approach has been to isolate individual toxins and then s...
Resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) based chemotherapy in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has been attributed to the upregulation of the DNA repair protein O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). Inhibition of MGMT using O(6)-benzylguanine (BG) has shown promise in these patients, but its clinical use is hindered by poor pharmacokinetics that leads to unacceptable toxicity. To improve BG bi...
Toward the goal of developing an optical imaging contrast agent that will enable surgeons to intraoperatively distinguish cancer foci from adjacent normal tissue, we developed a chlorotoxin:Cy5.5 (CTX:Cy5.5) bioconjugate that emits near-IR fluorescent signal. The probe delineates malignant glioma, medulloblastoma, prostate cancer, intestinal cancer, and sarcoma from adjacent non-neoplastic tiss...
زمینه و هدف: در سال های اخیر نوروتوکسین های عقرب از لحاظ خواص دارویی و اثرات فیزیولوژیک مورد مطالعات زیادی قرار گرفته اند. یکی از این توکسین ها که توجه زیادی را به خود جلب کرده است، کلروتوکسین می باشد که هم اکنون در درمان سرطان های مغز مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد. این مطالعه با هدف تعیین توالی و بررسی مقایسه یی بیوانفورماتیکی cdna کد کننده پپتید شبه کلروتوکسین از عقرب زرد ایرانی انجام شد. روش برر...
131I-TM-601 is a 36-amino acid peptide, called chlorotoxin (TM-601), derived from scorpion venom labeled with I-131. TM-601 binds a receptor on the surface of tumor cells, and not on normal cells. A single dose of 131I-TM-601 administered intracranially to human xenografted mouse models of glioma has been shown to extend survival up to 269% in multiple studies. 131I-TM-601 is in a multi-center ...
