Growth differentiation factor-9 expression is inversely correlated with an aggressive behaviour in human bladder cancer cells.
Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) is a family member of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which belong to the TGF-β superfamily. There has been a recent surge of interest in the role of growth differentiation factors and other BMPs in the development and spread of cancer. However, the role of GDF-9 in bladder cancer remains unknown. The present study investigated the expression of GDF-9...
متن کاملToll-like receptor-9 expression is inversely correlated with estrogen receptor status in breast cancer.
Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) recognizes microbial and vertebrate DNA. We previously demonstrated TLR9 expression in human breast cancer cell lines and showed that TLR9 ligands stimulate their in vitro invasion. The aim of this study was to characterize TLR9 expression in clinical breast cancer specimens. Immunohistochemical staining intensity was compared with known baseline prognostic factors a...
متن کاملCOLORECTAL CANCER Placenta growth factor expression is correlated with survival of patients with colorectal cancer
Background: Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) correlates with vascularity, metastasis, and proliferation in colorectal cancer but the role of its homologue, placenta growth factor (PlGF), is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate expression and clinical implications of PlGF in colorectal cancer. Methods: We investigated 74 tumour/non-tumour pairs of colorectal ...
متن کاملExpression of the J chain gene during B cell differentiation is inversely correlated with DNA methylation.
During B cell differentiation, transcription of the J chain gene is initiated. To determine the regulatory mechanism involved, we have analyzed the structure of the J chain gene in cell lines representing successive stages in B cell development. Comparison of restriction sites showed that the J chain gene does not require a rearrangement of DNA for expression; cleavage sites present in embryoni...
متن کاملExpression of sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X is inversely correlated with conventional sialyl Lewis X expression in human colorectal cancer.
Sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant has been described recently as a major ligand for L-selectin on high endothelial venules of human peripheral lymph nodes. From our investigation of its distribution in human colorectal cancer tissues and cultured colon cancer cells, the sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant was preferentially expressed in the nonmalignant colonic epithelia rather than cancer cell...
