Targeted and systemic insights into the crosstalk between DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit and receptors of estrogen, progesterone and epidermal growth factor in the context of cancer
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) has emerged as a regulator of carcinogenesis. Increased expression of DNA-PKcs correlates with metastatic cancers. Here we review recently reported crosstalk of ...
Epac as a tractable therapeutic target
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In 1957, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) was identified as the first secondary messenger, and the first signaling cascade discovered was the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Since then, cAMP has received increasing ...
Prevalence of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer in Autopsy Studies Over Six Decades: A Meta-Analysis
(
American Society of Clinical Oncology
, 2016 , Article)
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) incidence has been reported to have increased three- to 15-fold in the past few decades. It is unclear whether this represents overdiagnosis or a true increase in incidence. Therefore, ...
Curcumin-mediated degradation of S-phase kinase protein 2 induces cytotoxic effects in human papillomavirus-positive and negative squamous carcinoma cells
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2018 , Article)
S-phase kinase-associated protein2 (Skp2), a proto-oncoprotein, plays an important role in development and progression of human malignancies. Skp2 is frequently overexpressed in many human malignancies. It targets cell ...
Signaling pathways activated by PACAP in MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
PACAP has opposing roles ranging from activation to inhibition of tumor growth and PACAP agonists/antagonists could be used in tumor therapy. In this study, the effect of PACAP stimulation on signaling pathways was ...
Paradoxical effects of statins on endothelial and cancer cells: the impact of concentrations
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
In addition to their lipid-lowering functions, statins elicit additional pleiotropic effects on apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation, senescence, and oxidative stress. Many of these effects have been reported in cancerous ...
RKIP in human diseases and its potential as a prognostic indicator and therapeutic target
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Book chapter)
The Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) is an inhibitor of the RAF/MEK/ERK and NF-κB signaling pathways, through which it regulates several key processes of the cell's physiology, such as its proliferation, motility and ...
Carbon nanotubes: Applications in cancer therapy and drug delivery research
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are novel nanocarrier systems that have a wide range of applications in science, engineering, and, the environment. Owing to the possible functionalization of CNTs (i.e., surface-engineering of the ...
Applying value-based strategies to accelerate access to novel cancer medications: guidance from the Oncology Health Economics Expert Panel in Qatar (Q-OHEP)
(
BioMed Central Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
Background: In line with global trends, cancer incidence and mortality may have decreased for specific types of cancer in Qatar. However, the cancer-related burden on patients, healthcare systems, and the economy is expected ...
Methodological considerations for identifying multiple plasma proteins associated with all-cause mortality in a population-based prospective cohort
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Novel methods to characterize the plasma proteome has made it possible to examine a wide range of proteins in large longitudinal cohort studies, but the complexity of the human proteome makes it difficult to identify robust ...
