  Finasteride (13) was the first steroidal 5α-reductase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992 for treatment of BPH. In fact, long term clinical studies with this drug demonstrated a sustained reduction of the prostatic specific antigen and an overall improvement in BH

  Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the United States [25]. Similar to pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer has few diagnostic options available, particularly to differentiate indolent from aggressive disease. Axl is also overexpressed in ∼50% of prostate canc

  Autophagy and cell death pathways in ischemic stroke Although very important for the effects on post-ischemic 5-Iodotubercidin injury, autophagy is not the only mechanism of action involved in cell death. Necrosis and apoptosis are two other distinct forms of cell death with great difference in

  Introduction Human esophageal carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers, ranked as the eighth leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common histological type of esophageal carcinomas, especially with a higher inci

  2023-05-15

  

  Elevated expression of Aurora-A and -B frequently detected in a wide variety of human cancers strongly indicate that high expression of these kinases play roles in the development of cancer associated phenotypes. While Aurora-A has been shown to function as an oncogene when over expressed in mammali

  2023-05-15

  

  The ambiguity surrounding the role played by the 15-LOXs in malignant biological processes stems also from the limitations of current animal models, and especially the usage of its 12/15-LOX murine homolog, which can also catalyze the production of 12-HETE. Indeed, the proinflammatory effect of 12-H

  The interaction of ATR-ATRIP with RPA-coated ssDNA is sufficient for ATR-ATRIP recruitment to DNA lesions, but it is not sufficient to fully activate ATR. In response to DNA damage, the heterotrimeric ring-shaped complex 9-1-1 (RAD9-RAD1-HUS1 in humans; Ddc1-Rad17-Mec3 in S. cerevisiae) is loaded at

  Based on its kinetic parameters and quaternary structure, R. pycnus arginase is a typical ureotelic L-arginase [2]. The Km value of the enzyme was lower than other arginases from other organisms (Table 2), including S. cerevisiae (15.7mM), B. anthracis (10mM), B. caldovelox (3.4mM), human liver (2.3

  The levels of Mcl-1 and FLIP are homeostatically controlled by transcriptional and posttranslational processes. Accumulating evidence suggested that intracellular signaling molecules such as Akt are crucial to the transcription of Mcl-1 and FLIP [30], [31]. The constitutive activation of Akt is dete

  Recent studies revealed that certain plant-derived compounds can also interfere with AR function. One way of such an interference is by modulating its expression levels. This is the case for the two flavonoids quercetin and luteolin that have been reported to repress the function of AR by inhibiting

  The specific mechanisms underlying glutamine dependency are still being explored, and current research indicates that the mechanisms likely vary between breast cancer subtypes. In HER2-positive breast cancer, increased levels of the transcriptional activator PGC-1α lead to expression of genes that m

  Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that plays a central role in regulating the maturation, activation and stability of numerous “client proteins” that drive the development and progression of many cancers. Therefore, inhibition of Hsp90 would result in degradation of the client p
