Tumor necrosis factor expression by human ovarian carcinoma in vivo.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine produced by monocytes and other cells with selective cytolytic activity against some but not all tumor cells. Cellular resistance to the cytolytic effects of TNF has been reported to be associated with autocrine production of TNF by the target cells. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not human tumors produce tumor necrosis factor in ...
متن کاملEarly Puberty Due to Ovarian Granulosa Tumor
A 7½-year-old girl is reported showing precocious puberty and large abdominal mass for a year. The right ovarial cyst removed by surgery revealed histopathologically a granulosa cell tumor. After removal of the tumor the estrogens were still increased and the signs of puberty showed no regression. This seems to be due to the hormonal activity of the metastases. Liver metastasis was present a...
متن کاملInvestigating the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors
Aims: Ovarian cancer has the worst prognosis among female genital tract malignancies, but if detected in the early stages, it is one of the most treatable malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of tumor markers compared to ultrasound in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional-analytical study, 210 women referred to ...
متن کاملIn vivo cytotoxicity of ovarian cancer cells through tumor-selective expression of the BAX gene.
The BAX proapoptotic protein is capable of inducing cell death either directly, through its effects on mitochondrial function, or indirectly, by lowering the apoptotic threshold in response to certain chemotherapy agents. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that selective expression of BAX in human ovarian cancer through adenoviral gene transfer might represent a novel approach to eradicati...
متن کاملRhoB: Team Oncogene or Team Tumor Suppressor?
Although Rho GTPases RhoA, RhoB, and RhoC share more than 85% amino acid sequence identity, they play very distinct roles in tumor progression. RhoA and RhoC have been suggested in many studies to contribute positively to tumor development, but the role of RhoB in cancer remains elusive. RhoB contains a unique C-terminal region that undergoes specific post-translational modifications affecting ...
