Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio in prediction of response to breast cancer radiotherapy
Objective(s): Radiotherapy is one of the most effective modalities of cancer therapy, but clinical responses of individual patients varies considerably. To enhance treatment efficiency it is essential to implement an individual-based treatment. The aim of present study was to identify the mechanism of intrinsic apoptosis pathway on radiosensitivity and normal tissue complications caused by the ...
متن کاملTurning off the BCL-2 switch to prevent intestinal tumorigenesis
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, development of effective (chemo) preventive strategies is an intense field of study. CRC is a disease that develops in the course of many years from the first oncogenic hit causing a premalignant lesion to invasive growth and ultimately metastatic disease. The oncogenic mutations that underlie th...
متن کاملComprehensive screening of genes resistant to an anticancer drug in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Drug resistance to chemotherapy is a major issue in esophageal cancer management. Drug resistance may be mediated by genetic changes in the tumor; therefore, the identification of gene mutations may lead to better therapeutic outcomes. We used a novel method involving transposons to screen and identify drug-resistant genes. Transposons are DNA sequences that move from one location on the gene t...
متن کاملBcl-2 expression decreases cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion.
Bcl-2, a member of the apoptosis-regulating family of proteins confers a survival advantage on cells by inhibiting apoptosis. Bcl-2 expression is estrogen-responsive and high in various tumors. Overexpression of Bcl-2 has been associated with the loss of contact inhibition, unregulated growth and foci formation in culture. In this study, we have examined the effects of bcl-2 overexpression and ...
متن کاملBcl-2–Mediated Drug Resistance
Bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis induced by a variety of stimuli, including chemotherapy drugs and glucocorticoids. It is generally accepted that Bcl-2 exerts its antiapoptotic effects mainly by dimerizing with proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family such as Bax and Bad. However, the mechanism of the antiapoptotic effects is unclear. Paclitaxel and other drugs that disturb microtubule dynamics kill ce...
