Preimplantation growth factor physiology.
The robust independence of preimplantation embryo development in vitro suggests that the developmental programme is autonomous. The rapid accumulation of evidence during the last decade for participation of many hormones, growth factors and their receptors in these early stages of embryogenesis has challenged this conclusion. In this review, the insulin and epidermal growth factor families, whi...
متن کاملAltered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملPreImplantation factor (PIF) potentiates static magnetic field (SMF) effect to decrease tumor burden (melanoma murine model)
Background and objectives PreImplantation factor (PIF) secreted by viable embryos exerts essential regulatory role on global systemic immune response. Synthetic PIF (PIF) translates endogenous effects to immune disorder models. Metastatic melanoma displays tumor-immunological behaviour. Static magnetic field (SMF) affects inflammatory reactions. There is increased interest toward SMF’s potentia...
متن کاملAssessment of epidermal growth factor receptor status in glioblastomas
Objective(s): Our previous study showed that a newly designed tracer radioiodinated 6-(3-morpholinopropoxy)-7-ethoxy-4-(3'-iodophenoxy)quinazoline ([125I]PYK) is promising for the evaluation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status and prediction of gefitinib treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. EGFR is over-expressed and mutated also in glioblastoma. In the present study, the ...
متن کاملSynthetic PreImplantation Factor (PIF) prevents fetal loss by modulating LPS induced inflammatory response
Maternal control of inflammation is essential during pregnancy and an exaggerated response is one of the underlying causes of fetal loss. Inflammatory response is mediated by multiple factors and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are central. Activation of TLRs results in NALP-3 mediated assembly of apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) and caspase-1 into the inflammasome and...
