Up-regulation of hepatitis C virus replication and production by inhibition of MEK/ERK signaling. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Viruses interact with and exploit the host cellular machinery for their multiplication and propagation. The MEK/ERK signaling pathway positively regulates replication of many RNA viruses.

Thyroid status modulates T lymphoma growth via cell cycle regulatory proteins and angiogenesis [PDF]
We have shown in vitro that thyroid hormones (THs) regulate the balance between proliferation and apoptosis of T lymphoma cells. The effects of THs on tumor development have been studied, but the results are still controversial.

AP-1 as a Regulator of MMP-13 in the Stromal Cell of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
Matrix-metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) has been shown to be an important protease in inflammatory and neoplastic conditions of the skeletal system. In particular, the stromal cells of giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) express very high levels of MMP-13 in ...

Inducers of epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells in malignant pleural effusions [PDF]
The Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) plays a role not only in tumor metastasis but also in tumor recurrence. This process is believed to be tightly linked to the presence of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) however, it is still not clear which ...

Hypoxia up-regulates SERPINB3 through HIF-2\u3b1 in human liver cancer cells. [PDF]
SERPINB3 is a cysteine-proteases inhibitor up-regulated in a significant number of cirrhotic patients carrying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and recently proposed as a prognostic marker for HCC early recurrence.

Nothing in excess - lessons learned from the expression of high-mobility group proteins type A in non-cancer and cancer cells [PDF]
High-mobility group A (HMGA) proteins are major transcription regulators which are abundantly and ubiquitously expressed in undifferentiated cells but present at a low level in somatic cells of adult organisms.

Pan-Cancer analysis of the expression and regulation of matrisome genes across 32 tumor types
The microenvironment plays a central role in cancer, and neoplastic cells actively shape it to their needs by complex arrays of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, enzymes, cytokines and growth factors collectively referred to as the matrisome.
