Nrf2 Is an Attractive Therapeutic Target for Retinal Diseases
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a redox-sensitive transcription factor that binds to antioxidant response elements located in the promoter region of genes encoding many antioxidant enzymes and phase II detoxifying enzymes. Activation of Nrf2 functions is one of the critical defensive mechanisms against oxidative stress in many species. The retina is constantly exposed to r...
متن کاملAngiogenesis as a therapeutic target in malignant gliomas.
Currently, adult glioblastoma (GBM) patients have poor outcomes with conventional cytotoxic treatments. Because GBMs are highly angiogenic tumors, inhibitors that target tumor vasculature are considered promising therapeutic agents in these patients. Encouraging efficacy and tolerability in preliminary clinical trials suggest that targeting angiogenesis may be an effective therapeutic strategy ...
متن کاملThe progression of gliomas is associated with cancer stem cell phenotype.
Since cancer stem cells in brain tumors were introduced, there have been few explanations regarding the role of cancer stem cells in the progression of glioma. Here, we investigated their major molecular changes in tumor progression in relation to the stem cell subpopulation. Using 12 surgical specimens of gliomatosis cerebri (GC) in the early and advanced stages, we measured the expression of ...
متن کاملmTOR: An attractive therapeutic target for osteosarcoma?
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant bone tumor with high morbidity and mortality in children and young adults. How to improve poor prognosis of OS due to resistance to chemotherapy remains a challenge. Recently, growing findings show activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), is associated with OS cell growth, proliferation, metastasis. Targeting mTOR may be a promising the...
متن کاملDownregulation of RKIP Is Associated with Poor Outcome and Malignant Progression in Gliomas
Malignant gliomas are highly infiltrative and invasive tumors, which precludes the few treatment options available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying gliomas aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis. The Raf Kinase Inhibitory protein (RKIP), besides regulating important intracellular signaling cascades, was described to be associated with progres...
