Abstract
We previously showed that microRNA-155 (miR-155) is down-regulated in melanoma cells as compared with normal melanocytes and that its ectopic expression impairs proliferation and induces apoptosis. Here, we investigated whether miR-155 could mediate melanoma growth inhibition via SKI gene silencing....

Abstract
We investigated possible cooperative deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TFs) in glioblastoma, under the hypothesis that miRNAs and TFs might have a combinational regulatory effect on glioblastoma genes. We searched glioblastoma-specific regulatory networks by integrating g...

Abstract
We randomly assigned 636 patients with untreated chronic-phase CML to receive imatinib alone at a dose of 400 mg daily, imatinib (400 mg daily) plus cytarabine (20 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day on days 15 through 28 of each 28-day cycle) or pegylated interferon (peginterferon) alf...

Abstract
We examined Prr15 expression by in situ hybridization (ISH) on mouse intestinal tumors caused by different gene mutations, and on human colorectal cancer (CRC) samples. Prr15/PRR15 expression was consistently observed in mouse gastrointestinal (GI) tumors caused by mutations in the Apc gene, as well...

Abstract
We show that the DNA methylation pattern is intimately correlated with MUC5AC expression in ten cancer cell lines (breast, lung, pancreas, and colon).
The CpG methylation status of the MUC5AC promoter from -3855 to +321 was mapped using MassARRAY analysis, which utilizes base-specifi...

Abstract
We show that, in many cell types, p53 confers increased survival in the face of chronic starvation. We implicate regulation of autophagy in this effect. In HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells exposed to prolonged nutrient deprivation, the endogenous wt p53 posttranscriptionally down-regulates LC3,...

Abstract
In the present study, we demonstrated the ability of DES to inhibit telomerase in prostate cancer cells. Androgens did not limit the inhibitory effect and even acted synergistically with DES in the LNCaP line. This phenomenon should be considered if telomerase inhibition is part of prostate cancer t...

Abstract
The data suggest that WJ9708011 induces transcriptional and translational suppression of cell-cycle regulators that might be through Akt- and AMPK-independent loss of DeltaPsi(m) and inhibition of mTOR signaling pathway, leading to G1 arrest of the cell cycle and subsequent apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Hep 3B produces 36 x miRNA 181a compared with Hep G2. Luciferase activity after transfection with miRNA 181a precursor was decreased in both cell lines (P < .01); luciferase activity increased with miRNA 181a inhibitor transfection in both cell lines (P < .01). Hep 3B transfected with mutated OPN 3'...

Abstract
We demonstrate that a subset of ALL cases bearing 14q32 LOH showed a down-regulation of miRNA 14q32 clusters, which is directly linked to the submicroscopic chromosomal deletion. As a consequence of miRNAs deregulation we reported an inverse correlation with the expression of their target BCL11a, a...
