TAp73 promotes cell survival upon genotoxic stress by inhibiting p53 activity.

Oncotarget 5(18) , 8107-22, (2014)

p53 plays a key role in regulating DNA damage response by suppressing cell cycle progression or inducing apoptosis depending on extent of DNA damage. However, it is not clear why mild genotoxic stress favors growth arrest, whereas excessive lesions signal cel...

cIEF for rapid pKa determination of small molecules: a proof of concept.

Eur. J. Pharm. Sci. 63 , 14-21, (2014)

A capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) method was developed for the determination of the ionization constants (pKa) of small molecules. Two approaches used to decrease the electroosmotic flow (EOF) were compared: (i) a hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) coated cap...

Establishment and characterization of cell lines from chromosomal instable colorectal cancer.

World J. Gastroenterol. 21(1) , 164-76, (2015)

To generate novel tumor models for preclinical validation of biomarkers that allow drug response prediction and individual therapeutic decisions.Cell line establishment was conducted by both direct in vitro culturing and in vivo xenografting followed by in vi...

Targeted Delivery of 5-fluorouracil with Monoclonal Antibody Modified Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles.

Iran. J. Pharm. Res. 14(2) , 395-405, (2015)

Herein, 1F2, an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), was covalently coupled to the surface of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles. Concerning two different crosslinkers for conjugation of 1F2, Maleimide-poly (ethylene glycol)...

Atonal homolog 1 protein stabilized by tumor necrosis factor α induces high malignant potential in colon cancer cell line.

Cancer Sci. 106 , 1000-7, (2015)

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). CAC cells often develop chemoresistance, resulting in a poorer prognosis than that of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). The mechani...

JNK suppression of chemotherapeutic agents-induced ROS confers chemoresistance on pancreatic cancer stem cells.

Oncotarget 6(1) , 458-70, (2015)

Chemoresistance associated with cancer stem cells (CSCs), which is now being held responsible for the pervasive therapy resistance of pancreatic cancer, poses a major challenge to the successful management of this devastating malignancy. However, the molecula...

Synergistic antitumor effects of S-1 with eribulin in vitro and in vivo for triple-negative breast cancer cell lines.

Springerplus 3 , 417, (2014)

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with a higher incidence of recurrence and distant metastasis and a poor prognosis, whereas effective treatment strategies remain to be established. Finding an effective treatment for TNBC has become imperativ...

Fast, Stable Induction of P-Glycoprotein-mediated Drug Resistance in BT-474 Breast Cancer Cells by Stable Transfection of ABCB1 Gene.

Anticancer Res. 35 , 2531-8, (2015)

Patients with P-glycoprotein and HER2/neu (HER2) receptor-overexpressing breast cancer usually have poor clinical outcomes. However, there exist no commercially available breast cancer cell lines that are HER2/P-glycoprotein double-positive, which limits rese...

Selective antitumor effect of neural stem cells expressing cytosine deaminase and interferon-beta against ductal breast cancer cells in cellular and xenograft models.

Stem Cell Res. 12(1) , 36-48, (2014)

Due to their inherent tumor-tropic properties, genetically engineered stem cells may be advantageous for gene therapy treatment of various human cancers, including brain, liver, ovarian, and prostate malignancies. In this study, we employed human neural stem ...

Synthesis and molecular docking study of novel coumarin derivatives containing 4,5-dihydropyrazole moiety as potential antitumor agents.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 20 , 5705-8, (2010)

A series of novel coumarin derivatives containing 4,5-dihydropyrazole moiety as potential telomerase inhibitors were synthesized. The bioassay tests show that compound 3d exhibited potentially high activity against human gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 with IC(5...
