Therapies directed against epidermal growth factor receptor in aerodigestive carcinomas.
CONTEXT Malignancies arising from the aerodigestive epithelium, including lung, head and neck, and esophageal carcinomas, are the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Given the biological importance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in cancer development and progression, EGFR inhibitors have emerged as promising novel therapies. OBJECTIVES To summarize the current st...
متن کاملDetrimental effects of an antibody directed against tumor necrosis factor alpha in experimental kidney irradiation.
Antibodies directed against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha are clinically used for Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. TNF-alpha is also an important cytokine in radiotherapy because it mediates inflammatory responses in normal tissues. To study the influence of TNF-alpha inhibition on radiation toxicity, we used a well-established mouse model of kidney irradiation, where th...
متن کاملTumour Necrosis Factor-alpha and Nuclear Factor-kappa B Gene Variants in Sepsis
BACKGROUND The humoral system is activated and various cytokines are released due to infections in tissues and traumatic damage. Nuclear factor-kappa B dimers are encoded by nuclear factor-kappa B genes and regulate transcription of several crucial proteins of inflammation such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha. AIMS To investigate the possible effect of polymorphisms on tumour necrosis factor-...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor and anti-tumor necrosis factor therapies.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID). As a result, the inhibition of TNF is an important therapeutic avenue in the treatment of these pathophysiologically diverse disease states. This section discusses TNF, its receptors, and its role in immunoregulation and inflammation, as well as the currently available anti-TNF-...
متن کاملSignal transduction by tumour necrosis factor and tumour necrosis factor related ligands and their receptors.
Many biological functions are regulated through interactions of extracellular molecules with their cognate cell surface receptors. The transduction of these signals by their receptors at the plasma membrane to the intracellular machinery results in such cellular activities as gene activation, protein phosphorylation, cell proliferation, and cell destruction. Though the kinetics of these activit...
