Thiazolides inhibit growth and induce glutathione-S-transferase Pi (GSTP1)-dependent cell death in human colon cancer cells.
Thiazolides are a novel class of broad-spectrum anti-infective drugs with promising in vitro and in vivo activities against intracellular and extracellular protozoan parasites. The nitrothiazole-analogue nitazoxanide (NTZ; 2-acetolyloxy-N-(5-nitro 2-thiazolyl) benzamide) represents the thiazolide parent compound, and a number of bromo- and carboxy-derivatives with differing activities have been...
متن کاملClass-Pi of Glutathione S-Transferases
Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...
متن کاملGlutathione-S-transferase-pi (GST-pi) expression in renal cell carcinoma
Multidrug resistance correlates with unfavourable treatment outcomes in numerous cancers including renal cell carcinoma. The expression and clinical relevance of Glutathione-S-transferase-pi (GST-pi), a multidrug resistance factor, in kidney tumors remain controversial. We analyzed the expression of GST-pi in 60 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded renal cell carcinoma samples by immunohistochemis...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase Pi mediates proliferation of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells
Prostate cancers generally acquire an androgen-independent growth capacity with progression, resulting in resistance to antiandrogen therapy. Therefore, identification of the genes regulated through this process may be important for understanding the mechanisms of prostate carcinogenesis. We here utilized androgen-dependent/independent transplantable tumors, newly established with the 'transgen...
متن کاملExpression of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase pi in canine mammary tumors
BACKGROUND Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most important agents of the antioxidant defense system of the cell because, in conjunction with the enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione S transferase pi (GSTpi), it plays a central role in the detoxification and biotransformation of chemotherapeutic drugs. This study evaluated the expression of GSH and the GSH-Px and GSTpi enzymes ...
