Controlling secretion to limit chemoresistance [PDF]
The tumor microenvironment influences cancer progression and therapy outcome by mechanisms not yet fully understood. In this issue, Bent et al. (2016) show how chemotherapy causes endothelial senescence.

Mitochondrial determinants of chemoresistance [PDF]
Chemoresistance constitute nowadays the major contributor to therapy failure in most cancers. There are main factors that mitigate cell response to therapy, such as target organ, inherent sensitivity to the administered compound, its metabolism, drug efflux and influx or alterations on specific cellular targets, among others. We now know that intrinsic

Exosomal miR-331 from Chemoresistant Osteosarcoma Cells induced Chemoresistance through Autophagy [PDF]
Abstract BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant tumor. Improving chemotherapeutic resistance is very important to improve the survival rate of OS. Exosomes and microRNAs (MiRNA) play important roles in the mechanism of chemotherapeutic resistance transmission. More and more researches focus the mechanism of miRNAs carried by exosomes

Clusterin and Chemoresistance [PDF]
Resistance to anticancer agents is one of the primary impediments to effective cancer therapy. Chemoresistance occurs not only to clinically established therapeutic agents but also to novel targeted therapeutics. Both intrinsic and acquired mechanisms have been implicated in drug resistance but it remains controversial which mechanisms are responsible ...

Apoptosis and melanoma chemoresistance [PDF]
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and is notoriously resistant to all current modalities of cancer therapy. A large set of genetic, functional and biochemical studies suggest that melanoma cells become 'bullet proof' against a variety of chemotherapeutic drugs by exploiting their intrinsic resistance to apoptosis and by reprogramming ...

AKAP8L enhances the stemness and chemoresistance of gastric cancer cells by stabilizing SCD1 mRNA
Gastric cancer (GC) remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Chemoresistance is the major determinant of GC treatment failure. To explore the molecular mechanisms of GC chemoresistance, mass spectrometry was performed to detect the genes

MiRNA-145 increases therapeutic sensibility to gemcitabine treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. [PDF]
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the most leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although recent advances provide various treatment options, pancreatic adenocarcinoma has poor prognosis due to its late diagnosis and ineffective therapeutic

Chemoresistance in Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), generally known as pancreatic cancer (PC), ranks the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the western world. While the incidence of pancreatic cancer is displaying a rising tendency every year, the mortality rate has not decreased significantly because of late diagnosis, early metastasis, and limited

Essential gene pathways for glioblastoma stem cells: clinical implications for prevention of tumor recurrence. [PDF]
Glioblastoma (World Health Organization/WHO grade IV) is the most common and most aggressive adult glial tumor. Patients with glioblastoma, despite being treated with gross total resection and post-operative radiation/chemotherapy, will almost always ...
