Background: The cell cycle is divided into four phases, G1, G2, S, and M phase. The mammalian cell cycle is controlled and governed by the kinase complexes including cyclin and the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), cyclin-CDK complexes.

Preclinical development of non-viral gene therapy for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the greatest challenges in oncology for which therapeutic intervention is urgently needed. We previously demonstrated that the intra-tumoral gene transfer of somatostatin receptor 2, to combat tumor aggressiveness, or of ...

Decitabine impact on the endocytosis regulator RhoA, the folate carriers RFC1 and FOLR1, and the glucose transporter GLUT4 in human tumors. [PDF]
BackgroundIn 31 solid tumor patients treated with the demethylating agent decitabine, we performed tumor biopsies before and after the first cycle of decitabine and used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess whether decitabine increased expression of ...

Evolution of herpesvirus thymidine kinases from cellular deoxycytidine kinase
The thymidine kinases encoded by herpesviruses of higher vertebrates form a distinct group and are unrelated to the thymidine kinases (TKs) of other organisms. Their evolutionary source has not been identified, but our analysis has revealed a clear relationship with a sequence of human deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) published recently.

p53 independent epigenetic-differentiation treatment in xenotransplant models of acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Suppression of apoptosis by TP53 mutation contributes to resistance of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to conventional cytotoxic treatment. Using differentiation to induce irreversible cell cycle exit in AML cells could be a p53-independent treatment ...

FHL2 regulates hematopoietic stem cell functions under stress conditions. [PDF]
FHL2, a member of the four and one half LIM domain protein family, is a critical transcriptional modulator. Here, we identify FHL2 as a critical regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that is essential for maintaining HSC self-renewal under ...
