Clinical significance of growth differentiation factor 11 in colorectal cancer.
Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) subfamily, plays a role in regulation of development and differentiation. Although some members of BMP subfamily have been reported to correlate with cancer, the significance of GDF11 has not been studied in a clinical oncology setting. The current study exp...
متن کاملClinical significance of plasma level of vascular endothelial growth factor-C in patients with colorectal cancer.
OBJECTIVE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C is known to be associated with angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in various cancers. However, little is known about the clinical significance of determining the blood level of VEGF-C in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS Plasma levels of VEGF-C in patients with colorectal cancer (n = 127) and normal healthy volunteers (n = 23) were ...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-C Expression in Colorectal Cancer
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are known to be associated with tumor growth and angiogenesis through their activation of the receptor tyrosine kinases, PDGF receptors alpha and beta. Several studies revealed the participation of the PDGF family in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of platelet derived growth factor-C (PDGFC) in CRC is less well studied. This study aimed to dete...

متن کاملPigment epithelium-derived factor: clinical significance in estrogen-dependent tissues and its potential in cancer therapy
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the family of non-inhibitory serpins. The broad spectrum of PEDF biological activity is evident when considering its effects in promoting cell survival and proliferation, as well as its antiangiogenic, antitumor, and anti-metastatic properties. Although the structural domains of the PEDF gene that mediate such diverse ef...
