background: in prostate cancer, mutated p53 alleles typically contain missense single-base substitution in codon 72 that resides within exons 5-8. stable p53 proteins in tumor cell nuclei have been associated with malignancy. a role of p53 is the regulation of drug transporters like abcc1 (mrp1) by an effect on promoter region.objectives: the objective of this study was to identify association ...

cyclin e, her-2 and p53, are considered as major prognostic markers in breast cancer. as they are related in patho-clinical level, we aimed to check if they have any direct interaction on expression of each other. to study the effect of cyclin e on her-2 expression, cell lines stably overexpressing cyclin e or its low molecular weight (lmw) isoforms were generated. to understand the results of ...

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, containing approximately one third of all illnesses in women. Assessment of molecular markers is valuable in predicting the outcome of disease and decision making for optimal treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between estrogen and progesterone receptors with Her-2, Ki67, P53, and clinicopathologica...

p53 and pcna expression in keratocystic odontogenic tumors compared with selected odontogenic cysts summary: the aim of this study was to evaluate p53 and pcna expression in different odontogenic lesions regarding their different clinical behaviors. slices prepared from 94 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (25 radicular cysts (rc), 23 dentigerous cysts (dc), 23 keratocystic odontogenic tumors (kc...

curcumin is a natural substance with anti-cancerous properties without many disadvantages of currently-used anticancer drugs. its toxicity is significantly higher in tumor cells compared with normal cells. we hypothesized the difference of p53 function between normal and tumor cells as one of the presumable causes of this phenomenon. we knocked down the expression of p53 in normal fibroblasts u...

introduction : pancreatic cancer has not been well studied, especially in developing countries. materials and methods : we studied the variations in genetic mutations in pancreatic adenocarcinoma between moroccan and egyptian populations. the molecular pathology of 30 tumors from a large hospital in casablanca, morocco were examined and compared with the findings of 44 tumors from the gharbiah ...

cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the lung cancer. it is known that cox-2 negatively regulates the activity of a number of tumor suppressors, including p53. consequently, inhibition of cox-2 signaling is anticipated to be a promising approach to stabilize p53 functionality. in this regard, we investigated the effect of cox-2 signaling blockade on p53 and cox-2 e...

Background: Loss of function in tumor suppressor genes is commonly associated with the onset/progression cancer and development therapeutic resistance. The p53 mutations resulting loss are common across variety tumors control cell proliferation more than 50% cancers. P53 null present about 10% driven However, to date there no effective treatment for rescuing We have developed a new potent strat...
