SPARC: A Potential Prognostic and Therapeutic Target in Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease that often lacks disease-specific symptoms in early stages. The malignancy is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in Western countries. In advanced stages, the overall 5-year survival is less than 1% to 2%. Most available treatments lack convincing cost-efficiency determinations and are generally not associated with...
متن کاملKaryopherin alpha 2 is a novel prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target for colon cancer
BACKGROUND Karyopherin alpha 2 (KPNA2), a member of the karyopherin family, plays a vital role in carcinogenesis. Yet its role in colon cancer is poorly characterized. We sought to clarify the clinical significance of its dysregulated expression in human colon tumor specimens. METHODS We evaluated KPNA2 mRNA and protein expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting in...
متن کاملGhrelin is a prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer
Ghrelin and obestatin are gastrointestinal peptides, encoded by the same preproghrelin gene. Both are expressed in breast cancer tissue and ghrelin has been implicated in breast cancer tumorigenesis. Despite recent advances in breast cancer management the need for new prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets in breast cancer remains high. We studied the prognostic impact of ghrelin ...
متن کاملBRG1 Is a Prognostic Marker and Potential Therapeutic Target in Human Breast Cancer
BRG1, a core component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, has been implicated in cancer development; however, the biological significance of BRG1 in breast cancer remains unknown. We explored the role of BRG1 in human breast cancer pathogenesis. Using tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry, we evaluated BRG1 staining in 437 breast cancer specimens and investigated its role in brea...
متن کاملCdc7 overexpression is an independent prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target in colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND Cdc7 is a widely expressed protein kinase implicated in cell division, cell cycle checkpoint mechanisms and cancer progression. Recently, it has been suggested as a target for anti-cancer therapy. METHODS To determine the relationship of Cdc7 protein expression with tumor phenotype, molecular features and prognosis, 1800 colorectal carcinomas were analyzed by immunohistochemistry o...
