Reprogramming Antitumor Immunity: NK Cell Strategies to Navigate the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tumor immune escape is a major barrier to durable cancer immunotherapy, as advanced malignancies create a tumor microenvironment (TME) that preferentially exhausts and disables T cell responses. While most approved cell therapies are T cell‐based, this limitation motivates the exploration of an alternative effector cell platform.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) in pancreatic cancer: at the epicenter of a targetable signaling network associated with patient survival. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is generally a fatal disease with no efficacious treatment modalities. Elucidation of signaling mechanisms that will lead to the identification of novel targets for therapy and chemoprevention is urgently needed ...

Knockdown of MUC1 by RNA Interference (siRNA) Influenced Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR2) and Suppression of Growth of Pancreatic Cancer Cells (PANC1) [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
MUC1 is overexpressed approximately in most of pancreatic adenocarcinomas and has been revealed to be linked with a worse prognosis, beside effectiveness, MUC1 hold for regulating cellular and developmental pathways. The objective of the current study is

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Circulating tumor cells isolation: The “post-EpCAM era” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent a submicroscopic fraction detached from a primary tumor and in transit to a secondary site. The prognostic significance of CTCs in metastatic cancer patients was demonstrated for the first time more than ten years

Exploring Programmed Cell Death-Related Biomarkers and Disease Therapy Strategy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Using Transcriptomics

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Uncontrolled cellular proliferation may result in the progression of diseases such as cancer that promote organism death. Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important mechanism that ensures the quality and quantity of cells, which could be ...

Automated Immunofluorometric Assay for MUC1

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2001
The aim of the present study was to establish a robust, reliable and fully automated immunofluorometric assay for the breast cancer serum marker MUC1. This would further serve as a prototype assay for evaluation of other MUC1 assays based on new antibody combinations.

Novel aptamer-nanoparticle bioconjugates enhances delivery of anticancer drug to MUC1-positive cancer cells in vitro. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
MUC1 protein is an attractive target for anticancer drug delivery owing to its overexpression in most adenocarcinomas. In this study, a reported MUC1 protein aptamer is exploited as the targeting agent of a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system ...

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles With Customized Drug Ratio/Loading for Effective Treatment of Gemcitabine‐Resistant Pancreatic Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Redox responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were engineered to deliver gemcitabine (Gem) and cisplatin (cisPt) at defined ratios to overcome chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Optimized Gem MSNs and Gem cisPt MSNs enhanced cytotoxicity in murine and human Gem resistant models, with select formulations inducing ...
