Pathways targeting tumor lymphangiogenesis.
Tumor metastasis to sentinel lymph nodes represents the first step of tumor dissemination in most human cancers and serves as a major prognostic indicator for disease progression. Recent studies have revealed that tumors can actively induce the formation of lymphatic vessels, and that tumor lymphangiogenesis is correlated with lymph node metastasis in experimental cancer models and in several t...
متن کاملTargeting tumor-necrosis factor receptor pathways for tumor immunotherapy
With the success of ipilimumab and promise of programmed death-1 pathway-targeted agents, the field of tumor immunotherapy is expanding rapidly. Newer targets for clinical development include select members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family. Agonist antibodies to these co-stimulatory molecules target both T and B cells, modulating T-cell activation and enhancing immune respons...
متن کاملTargeting inflammatory pathways for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
In the 15 years that have passed since C-reactive protein was linked to future cardiovascular events in otherwise healthy individuals, no alternative biomarker has proved to be a superior surrogate for vascular inflammation in the prediction of global cardiovascular risk. This observation is re-affirmed in population-based prospective cohort data from the Danish Research Center of Prevention an...
متن کاملCellular Pathways in Response to Ionizing Radiation and Their Targetability for Tumor Radiosensitization
During the last few decades, improvements in the planning and application of radiotherapy in combination with surgery and chemotherapy resulted in increased survival rates of tumor patients. However, the success of radiotherapy is impaired by two reasons: firstly, the radioresistance of tumor cells and, secondly, the radiation-induced damage of normal tissue cells located in the field of ionizi...
متن کاملTargeting Mcl-1 for Radiosensitization of Pancreatic Cancers12
In order to identify targets whose inhibition may enhance the efficacy of chemoradiation in pancreatic cancer, we previously conducted an RNAi library screen of 8,800 genes. We identified Mcl-1 (myeloid cell leukemia-1), an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, as a target for sensitizing pancreatic cancer cells to chemoradiation. In the present study we investigated Mcl-1 inhibition by ei...
