چکیده
The rabbit VX2 tumor when implanted in the liver has proven convenient as a model for studying hepatocellular carcinomas. However, its metabolic properties have not been well studied. Significantly, studies described here show that the VX2 tumor exhibits a high glycolytic/high hexokinase phenotype that is retained following implantation and growth in rabbit liver. In addition, results of a limited screen show that the glycolytic rate is inhibited best by 2-deoxyglucose (2DOG) and 3-bromopyruvate (3BrPA), the former compound of which is phosphorylated by hexokinase but not further metabolized, while the latter directly inhibits hexokinase. Finally, when tested on hepatoma cells in culture both inhibitors facilitated cell death. These studies underscore the usefulness of the VX2 tumor model for the study of advanced liver cancer and for selecting antihepatoma agents. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

The effect of roscovitine, a purine analogue and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, on DNA synthesis rate in tissue mini-units obtained from human cervical cancers was investigated. Roscovitine (100 mM) gave a DNA synthesis rate inhibition by 61% (P , 0:0001; range 23–93%) within 30 min of incubation. This inhibitory effect was concentration-dependent. The results suggest that the inhibition of...

The clinical significance of osteonectin in human stomach cancer was examined immunohistochemically and molecular biologically in 31 differentiated and eight undifferentiated stomach adenocarcinomas and 19 non-cancer stomach tissues. Osteonectin-mAb-stained cells were observed in stroma of 90% differentiated and 63% undifferentiated adenocarcinomas, and of 26% non-cancer stomach tissues. Compet...

MMI-166 is a selective inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9. Mice implanted a human colon cancer orthotopically received 200 mg/kg of MMI-166 orally for 5 weeks. Gelatin zymography demonstrated that the administration of MMI-166 remarkably decreased the active MMP-2 expression. Histological examination revealed that MMI-166 showed prominent effect on reduction of the invasive...

It has long been known from work in both Drosophila and vertebrate systems that the hedgehog signalling pathway is pivotal to embryonic development, but the past 5 years has seen an increase in our understanding of how members of this pathway are crucial to the processes of tumorigenesis. This important link was firmly established with the discovery that mutations in the gene encoding the hedge...
