In previous studies, we assessed the effects of intrapituitary injection of a recombinant adenoviral vector (RAd) harboring the cDNA for rat insulin-like growth factor type I (RAd-IGF-I) on the lactotrope and somatotrope populations in estrogen-induced prolactinomas. In the present study, we aimed to confirm these findings and further analyze the effect of transgenic RAd-IGF-I on the other pitu...

The immunosuppressive macrolide rapamycin and its derivative everolimus (SDZ RAD, RAD) inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. In this study, we provide evidence that RAD has profound antiproliferative activity in vitro and in NOD/SCID mice in vivo against Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cells. Moreover, we identified 2 molecular mecha...

AIMS Our previous studies documented that Rad (Ras associated with diabetes), a member of the RGK (Rad, Gem, and Kir) family of Ras-related small G protein, is significantly decreased in human failing hearts and plays an important role in attenuating cardiac hypertrophy. The goal of this study is to identify the effect of Rad on cardiac fibrosis and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND RESU...

PURPOSE To centrally assess the safety, efficacy, and 6-year follow-up of recombinant adenovirus-p53 (rAd-p53) combined with radiotherapy (RT) for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A randomized controlled clinical study on rAd-p53 combined with RT in 42 patients with NPC was compared with a control group of 40 patients with NPC treated with RT alone. In the gr...
