background- cd24 is a cell adhesion molecule that has been implicated in metastatic tumor progression cells. our aim was clarify correlation between cd24 expression and camp:cgmp ratio in murine colorectal cancer cell line (ct26) after using cholera toxin. materials and methods- the ct26 cells were cultured in microtubes for assaying camp and cgmp; also the cells were cultured in flasks for ass...

Umbelliprenin is a sesquiterpene coumarin with vitro anti-carcinogenic activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumor effects of umbelliprenin in animal models of colorectal cancer. The cytotoxic effects of umbelliprenin were explored on CT26 and L929by MTT assay. In this study, colorectal tumors developed in mice by intradermal injection of CT26 cell line. Tumor size, serum...

Cell-based gene therapy after cytokine gene transfer is being investigated for autologous and allogeneic vaccination in cancer therapy. Here we show that mice vaccinated with 3-5 x 10(6) interleukin 12 (IL-12) gene-transduced CT26 colon cancer cells developed a long-lasting antitumor immune memory able to reject not only parental cells but also syngeneic, LM3 mammary, and MCE fibrosarcoma tumor...

objective(s):sea cucumber is one of the classes of echinoderms, which is considered as a health marine product and possess various biological characteristics with therapeutic application. the present investigation attempted to evaluate the potential of anti-cancer persian gulf sea cucumber species holothuria arenicola (h. arenicola) aqueous extract on mice colon carcinoma cells in vitro and in ...

In the CT26/HER2 and 4T1.2/HER2 tumor models, CT26/HER2 cells form tumors that continue to grow, whereas 4T1.2/HER2 cells form tumors that eventually regress. Here, we investigated the differences in the behaviors of these two cell lines. When immune cells from 4T1.2/HER2 tumor-bearing animals were stimulated with HER2 class I peptides, they displayed a 2-fold increase in IFN-γ levels, in respo...

Background: As an attempt to develop a strategy to improve the protective immune response to GM-CSF-secreting CT26 (GM-CSF/CT26) tumor vaccine, we have investigated whether the apoptogenic treatment of GM-CSF/CT26 prior to vaccination enhances the induction of anti-tumor immune response in mouse model. Methods: A carcinogeninduced mouse colorectal tumor, CT26 was transfected with GM-CSF gene us...

Arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase 1 (ART1) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) are both post‑translational modification proteins. Inhibition of PARP1 induces apoptosis in cancer cells, and ART1 regulates RhoA which promotes apoptosis in hepatic cancer cells when inhibited. However, the interaction of ART1 and PARP-1 on the effect of apoptosis has not yet been elucidated. In the pr...

Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is the third generation of bisphosphonates, which can inhibit many tumors growth, especially to inhibit the growth of colon cancer. However, the molecular mechanism is still very mysterious. In this study, we observed that ZOL could regulate CT26 colon cancer cells autophagy, promote CT26 cells apoptosis, and inhibit CT26 cells proliferation. Western blotting analysis show...
