«In our study, we demonstrated that alpha - KGDH, when coupled with Gcn5, induces histone succinylation and
promotes tumor cell proliferation and tumor development.»
Yet its contribution to
tumor cell proliferation only increases the evidence that changes in metabolism are a cause of cancer and not just a consequence, according to Leif Ellisen, a cancer genetics researcher and oncologist who directs the MGH Translational Research Laboratory.
«These findings underscore the significance of Gcn5 - regulated gene expression coupled with the metabolic enzyme alpha - KGDH
in tumor cell proliferation and formation.»
According to University of Helsinki scientist and Finnish Academy Research Fellow Juha Klefström, PhD, who led the study, «Myc oncoprotein not only
boosts tumor cell proliferation but it also makes the cells vulnerable to cell suicide program, apoptosis.
While investigating a potential therapeutic target for the ERK1 and 2 pathway, a widely expressed signaling molecule known to drive cancer growth in one third of patients with colorectal cancer, University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers found that an alternative pathway immediately emerges when ERK1 / 2 is halted, thus
allowing tumor cell proliferation to continue.
Researchers link slipshod construction of chromosomal termini to unregulated tumor cell proliferation
Dr. Mack's research has focused primarily on the use of novel antitumor agents in human estrogen receptor negative breast tumor cells, and more recently, on the use of bioflavonoids in the regulation of estrogen receptor positive (ER +) and estrogen receptor negative (ER --RRB-
breast tumor cell proliferation.
Dr. Gollnick's laboratory explores how tumor cells co-opt the host immune system to promote chronic inflammation that leads to increased vascularization, suppression of anti-tumor immunity and
increased tumor cell proliferation and migration.
«We demonstrated that alpha - KGDH interacts with Gcn5 in the cell nucleus and found that
tumor cell proliferation and tumor growth were inhibited when alpha - KGDH was blocked from entering the cell nucleus or by disruption of Gcn5's binding to succinyl - coenzyme A,» said Lu.
They include its effects on endothelial cell «differentiation» to yield tubular - like structures, endothelial and
tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration, as well as its effects on extracellular matrix remodelling enzyme activities of matrix metalloproteinase - 2 (MMP - 2) and urokinase - type plasminogen activator (uPA).
Opposing effects of HIF1α and HIF2α on chromaffin cell phenotypic features and
tumor cell proliferation: Insights from MYC - associated factor X. Qin N, de Cubas AA, Garcia - Martin R, Richter S, Peitzsch M, Menschikowski M, Lenders JW, Timmers HJ, Mannelli M, Opocher G, Economopoulou M, Siegert G, Chavakis T, Pacak K, Robledo M, Eisenhofer G. Int J Cancer.
It promotes
tumor cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis (programmed cell death after a certain number of cell divisions, a good thing when it comes to cancer cells).
The apple extracts with skin significantly reduced
the tumor cell proliferation when compared with the apple extracts without skin.
