Perspective Profiles in Variation: Lung Carcinogenesis
This perspective on Kadara et al. (beginning on p. 702 in this issue of the journal) examines the critical development of genomic and proteomic signatures of lung cancer risk, prognosis, and sensitivity to chemoprevention or chemotherapy. The novel work of Kadara et al. represents the first demonstration that a molecular signature developed in a premalignancy model (in this case, cultured norma...
متن کاملChemoprevention strategies in lung carcinogenesis.
Chemoprevention entails using specific agents to suppress carcinogenesis and thereby prevent the development of primary or second primary cancers. Because the concept of chemoprevention in patients with or at risk of lung cancer is new, ongoing clinical trials are based on data from epidemiologic and preclinical research, as well as on results of chemoprevention studies in head and neck cancer....
متن کاملPromoting Stage of Lung and Skin Carcinogenesis in Mice Carcinogenesis: Spontaneous Liver Carcinogenesis
Although B-carotene has been considered to be a key cancer preventive agent in green and yellow vegetables, other types of carotenoids, such as a-carotene, may also contribute to anticarcinogenic action, since these carotenoids usually coexist with/~-carotene and are detectable in human blood and tissues. In this study, we compared the inhibitory effect of natural a-carotene, obtained from palm...
متن کاملRole of retinoic receptors in lung carcinogenesis
Several in vitro and in vivo studies have examined the positive and negative effects of retinoids (vitamin A analogs) in premalignant and malignant lesions. Retinoids have been used as chemopreventive and anticancer agents because of their pleiotropic regulator function in cell differentiation, growth, proliferation and apoptosis through interaction with two types of nuclear receptors: retinoic...
متن کاملPilot Study of CYP2B6 Genetic Variation to Explore the Contribution of Nitrosamine Activation to Lung Carcinogenesis
We explored the contribution of nitrosamine metabolism to lung cancer in a pilot investigation of genetic variation in CYP2B6, a high-affinity enzymatic activator of tobacco-specific nitrosamines with a negligible role in nicotine metabolism. Previously we found that variation in CYP2A6 and CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 combined to increase lung cancer risk in a case-control study in European American e...
