Abscisic acid (ABA) is fundamental for plant development. Multiple factors have been identified that participate in the ABA signaling network, although a role of many proteins still await to be demonstrated. Here we have investigated the role of GEM (GL2 EXPRESSION MODULATOR), originally annotated as an ABA-responsive protein. GEM contains a GRAM domain, a feature shared with other eight Arabid...

OBJECTIVES To compare the therapeutic effects of gemcitabine (GEM) monotherapy with GEM-cisplatin (DDP) combination chemotherapy in patients with advanced stage pancreatic cancer (APCa) through meta-analysis. METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE searches were supplemented by information from trial registers of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for GEM-DDP combination chemotherapy and GEM alone in APC...

Gemcitabine (Gem) is a dFdC analogue with activity against several solid tumors. Gem is intracellularly phosphorylated by dCK, leading to the production of the metabolite dFdCDP. dFdCDP exhibits the cytotoxic effect by inactivating ribonucleotide reductase larger subunit 1 (RRM1), which is a rate limiting enzyme for de novo DNA synthesis. To date, RRM1 expression is believed to determine sensit...

The marked clinical anticancer activity of the paclitaxel (PTX) and gemcitabine (GEM) combination has suggested that the two drugs may interact more than additively. We have analyzed the in vitro growth and molecular interactions of the two chemotherapy drugs in a panel of human breast cancer cells. We evaluated cell viability in four breast cancer cell lines (i.e., MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-46...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate high-risk older adults' satisfaction with outpatient geriatric evaluation and management (GEM). Community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries (n = 522) age 70 years and older who had a high probability of repeated admission to hospitals (Pra > .40) were randomly assigned to receive either usual care or GEM for six months. Despite the stresses imposed by out...

Gemcitabine (GEM) resistance is a critical issue for pancreatic cancer treatment. The involvement of epigenetic modification in GEM resistance is still unclear. We established a GEM-resistant subline PANC-1-R from the parental PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells and found the elevation of various chromatin-modifying enzymes including G9a in GEM-resistant cells. Ectopic expression of G9a in PANC-1 ce...
