Targeting WISP1 to sensitize esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to irradiation
Radiotherapy is a primary treatment modality for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, most of patients benefited little from radiotherapy due to refractory radioresistance. We found that WISP1, a downstream target gene of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, was re-expressed in 67.3% of ESCC patients as an oncofetal gene. Expression of WISP1 predicted prognosis of ESCC patients treated with ra...
متن کاملPharmacological telomerase inhibition can sensitize drug-resistant and drug-sensitive cells to chemotherapeutic treatment.
Effective strategies to reverse or prevent chemotherapeutic resistance are required before cancer therapies can be curative. Telomerase is the ribonucleoprotein responsible for de novo synthesis and maintenance of telomeres, and its activity is predominantly observed in cancer cells. The telomerase enzyme has been successfully inhibited or inactivated to sensitize cells to cellular stresses; ho...
متن کاملMicrotubule-targeting agents can sensitize cancer cells to ionizing radiation by an interphase-based mechanism
Background The cytotoxic effects of microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) are often attributed to targeted effects on mitotic cells. In clinical practice, MTAs are combined with DNA-damaging agents such as ionizing radiation (IR) with the rationale that mitotic cells are highly sensitive to DNA damage. In contrast, recent studies suggest that MTAs synergize with IR by interfering with the traffic...
متن کاملMiR‐24 enhances radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by targeting SP1
Radioresistance remains a major problem in the treatment of patients suffering from nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A better understanding of the mechanisms of radioresistance may generate new strategies to improve NPC patients' responses to therapy. This study was designed to investigate the effect of microRNA on the radiosensitivity of NPC cells. A microRNA microarray indicated that miR-24 wa...
متن کاملmicroRNA-29a functions as a tumor suppressor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells through targeting VEGF
Objective(s): microRNA-29 (miR-29) family miRNAs have been mentioned as tumor suppressive genes in several human cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of miR-29a in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. Materials and Methods: Human NPC cell line 5-8F was transfected with mimic, inhibitor or scrambled controls...
