Expression of carbonic anhydrase IX in astrocytic tumors predicts poor prognosis.
PURPOSE Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a hypoxia-inducible enzyme, which is associated with neoplastic growth. Ectopic CA IX expression has been observed in several tumors, whose normal counterparts do not express this enzyme. Normal human brain tissue shows only slight or no expression of CA IX. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We describe CA IX expression in human diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas. ...
متن کاملHypoxic tumor microenvironment in advanced retinoblastoma.
PURPOSE Retinoblastoma (RB) is a malignant tumor of infancy and childhood. Unfavorable therapeutic response is still a quest in many tumors, including retinoblastoma. Hypoxic tumor microenvironment is one of the factors that determine the therapeutic response in many tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of hypoxia and its related proteins; Hypoxia inducible factor-1α ...
متن کاملCarbonic anhydrase IX is a marker of hypoxia and correlates with higher Gleason scores and ISUP grading in prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Carbonic anhydrase IX is a member of α-carbonic anhydrases that is preferentially expressed in solid tumors. It enables bicarbonate transport across the plasma membrane, neutralizing intracellular pH and conferring to cancer cells a survival advantage in hypoxic/acidic microenvironments. Overexpression of carbonic anhydrase IX in cancer tissues is regulated by hypoxia inducible facto...
متن کاملTargeting carbonic anhydrase IX activity and expression.
Metastatic tumors are often hypoxic exhibiting a decrease in extracellular pH (~6.5) due to a metabolic transition described by the Warburg Effect. This shift in tumor cell metabolism alters the tumor milieu inducing tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, cell motility, invasiveness, and often resistance to common anti-cancer treatments; hence hindering treatment of aggressive cancers. As a re...
متن کاملHypoxic marker CA IX and adhesion mediator β-catenin are downregulated by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus persistent infection
Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most frequent cancer diseases with high resistance to radio- and chemotherapy. Mutation of VHL gene is frequent in these tumors leading to simulation of hypoxic conditions. Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, belonging to RNA viruses, is a neglected human pathogen and teratogen. We have found that infection of renal cell carcinoma cells by lymphocytic choriome...
