Cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors as novel therapeutic agents for targeted treatment of malignant mesothelioma [PDF]
Malignant Mesothelioma (MM) is a rare and aggressive form of tumour that affects the lining of the internal organs for which current treatments have not been proven to be very effective.

Identification of calpain cleavage sites in the G1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p19(INK4d) [PDF]
Calpains are a large family of Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases that are ubiquitously distributed across most cell types and vertebrate species. Calpains play a role in cell differentiation, apoptosis, cytoskeletal remodeling, signal transduction and ...

p16-Cdk4-Rb axis controls sensitivity to a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor PD0332991 in glioblastoma xenograft cells [PDF]
Deregulation of the p16(INK4a)-Cdk4/6-Rb pathway is commonly detected in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and is a rational therapeutic target. Here, we characterized the p16(INK4a)-Cdk4/6-Rb pathway in the Mayo panel of GBM xenografts, established from primary tissue samples from patients with GBM, and evaluated their response to PD0332991,

Humoral immune response to p16, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor in human malignancies
The p16 protein is a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, which plays an important role in the regulation of the cell cycle by inactivating the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) that phosphorylates the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. Overexpression of p16 protein has been found in many types of human malignancy.

p16( INK4a) positively regulates cyclin D1 and E2F1 through negative control of AUF1.
BackgroundThe cyclin-D/CDK4,6/p16(INK4a)/pRB/E2F pathway, a key regulator of the critical G1 to S phase transition of the cell cycle, is universally disrupted in human cancer.

Identification of novel therapeutic targets in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma using targeted next generation sequencing. [PDF]
Understanding genetic aberrations in cancer leads to discovery of new targets for cancer therapies. The genomic landscape of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully described. Therefore, patients with refractory advanced/metastatic HCC referred

After in-vitro exposure to 0.05 μmol/L 9-nitrocamptothecin (9NC) for periods of time longer than 5 days, 65% to 80% of the human malignant melanoma SB1 B cells die by apoptosis, whereas the remaining cells are arrested at the G2-phase of the cell cycle ...

The light and shadow of senescence and inflammation in cardiovascular pathology and regenerative medicine [PDF]
Recent epidemiologic studies evidence a dramatic increase of cardiovascular diseases, especially associated with the aging of the world population. During aging, the progressive impairment of the cardiovascular functions results from the compromised ...
