Altered 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 کاملProtein expression, gene amplification, epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and lung carcinoma.
EGFR belongs to the family of structurally and functionally similar ErbB or HER receptors on cell surfaces, which have intracellular tyrosine kinase activity. What all of these receptors have in common is that they consist of extracellular and membrane components to which ligand and intracellular components are bound via the tyrosine kinase activity . Under normal conditions the activity of Erb...
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 کاملEpidermal growth factor receptor expression and gene amplification in high-grade non-brainstem gliomas of childhood.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly overexpressed in adult high-grade gliomas. Forty to 50% of such tumors demonstrate amplification of the EGFR gene, often with rearrangement and constitutive activation of the gene product, suggesting that EGFR might play a role in the malignant progression of a subset of these neoplasms. In this regard, several groups have shown that overexpre...
