Lines and Polymorphonuclear Cells Endothelial Cell Adhesiveness to Tumor Cell B7h Triggering Inhibits Umbilical Vascular Dianzani

B7h triggering inhibits the migration of tumor cell lines.

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and several cancer cells express B7h, which is the ligand of the ICOS T cell costimulatory molecule. We have previously shown that B7h triggering via a soluble form of ICOS (ICOS-Fc) inhibits the adhesion of polymorphonuclear and tumor cell lines to HUVECs; thus, we suggested that ICOS-Fc may act as an anti-inflammatory and antitumor agent. Because cancer cell m...

Cholesteryl butyrate solid lipid nanoparticles inhibit the adhesion and migration of colon cancer cells.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cholesteryl butyrate solid lipid nanoparticles (cholbut SLN) provide a delivery system for the anti-cancer drug butyrate. These SLN inhibit the adhesion of polymorphonuclear cells to the endothelium and may act as anti-inflammatory agents. As cancer cell adhesion to endothelium is crucial for metastasis dissemination, here we have evaluated the effect of cholbut SLN on ad...

Patterns of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression in Hematopoietic Malignant Cells

Background and Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine which is overexpressed in many malignant cancers including leukemia. VEGF plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Determination of the pattern of VEGF expression in human leukemic cell lines could be useful not only in screening of new antileukemic agents but also to study the mechanism of their ...

Evaluation of Silibinin effects on the Viability of HepG2 (Human hepatocellular liver carcinoma) and HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial) cell lines

Human hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common recurrent malignancies, for as much as, there is no effective therapy. Silibinin, a widely used drug and supplement for various liver disorders, demonstrated anticancer effects against human hepatocellular carcinoma, human prostate adenocarcinoma cells, human breast carcinoma cells, human ectocervical carcinoma cells, and human colon canc...
