Summary Xenoantiserum raised against extracts of normal hamster pancreas, after absorption with normal tissues, reacted specifically with normal hamster and human pancreas by immunodiffusion. Absorbed antiserum also reacted with hamster and human pancreatic carcinoma but not with other neoplasms. Immunization of hamsters with normal pancreas extracts prevented growth of transplantable pancreatic carcinomas. 相似文献

From endoderm to pancreas: a multistep journey 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The formation of the vertebrate pancreas is a complex process that typifies the basic steps of embryonic development. It involves the establishment of competence, specification, signaling from neighboring tissues, morphogenesis, and the elaboration of tissue-specific genetic networks. A full analysis of this multistep process will help us to understand classic principles of embryonic development. Furthermore, this will provide the blueprint for experimental programming of pancreas formation from embryonic stem cells in the context of diabetes cell-therapy. Although in the past decade many studies have contributed to a solid foundation for understanding pancreatogenesis, important gaps persist in our knowledge of early pancreas formation. This review will summarize the current understanding of the early mechanisms coming into play to pattern the "pre-pancreatic" region within the endoderm and, gradually, specify the pancreatic tissue. 相似文献

Although the expression of the non-classical HLA class I molecule HLA-G was first reported to be restricted to the fetal–maternal
interface on the extravillous cytotrophoblasts, the distribution of HLA-G in normal tissues appears broader than originally
described. HLA-G expression was found in embryonic tissues, in adult immune privileged organs, and in cells of the hematopoietic
lineage. More interestingly, under pathophysiological conditions HLA-G antigens may be expressed on various types of malignant
cells suggesting that HLA-G antigen expression is one strategy used by tumor cells to escape immune surveillance. In this
article, we will focus on HLA-G expression in cancers of distinct histology and its association with the clinical course of
diseases, on the underlying molecular mechanisms of impaired HLA-G expression, on the immune tolerant function of HLA-G in
tumors, and on the use of membrane-bound and soluble HLA-G as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker to identify tumors and
to monitor disease stage, as well as on the use of HLA-G as a novel therapeutic target in cancer. 相似文献

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is among the most devastating human malignancies, with approximately 20–30% of PDAC patients receiving the surgical resection with curative intent. Although many studies have focused on finding ideal “drug chaperones” that facilitate and/or potentiate the effects of gemcitabine (GEM) in pancreatic cancer, a significant benefit in overall survival could not be demonstrated for any of these combination therapies in PDAC. Given that pancreatic cancer is characterized by desmoplasia and the dual biological roles of stroma in pancreatic cancer, we reassess the importance of stroma in GEM-based therapeutic approaches in light of current findings. This review is focused on understanding the role of stromal components in the extrinsic resistance to GEM and whether anti-stroma therapies have a positive effect on the GEM delivery. This work contributes to the development of novel and promising combination GEM-based regimens that have achieved significant survival benefits for the patients with pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

Expression of the genes of interferons and other cytokines in normal and diseased tissues of man 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
M G Tovey 《Experientia》1989,45(6):526-535
Specific interferon genes are transcribed at low levels in the spleen, liver, and peripheral blood leukocytes of normal individuals in the apparent absence of virus infection while other interferon genes remain unexpressed in the same tissues. In contrast, the genes of cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF are expressed at relatively high levels in the organs of normal individuals. The level of expression of the IL-1, IL-6 and TNF genes is markedly reduced in the livers of patients with autoimmune liver disease compared to the level of expression in the liver of normal individuals, whereas the expression of interferon genes is similar in both normal and diseased liver, suggesting that a defect in the expression of specific cytokines is associated with severe liver disease. 相似文献

Resistance to apoptosis is a common challenge in human malignancies contributing to both progress of cancer and resistance
to conventional therapeutics. Abnormalities in a variety of cell intrinsic and extrinsic molecular mechanisms cooperatively
promote tumor formation. Therapeutic approaches that specifically target components of these molecular mechanisms are getting
widespread attention. Mcl-1 is a highly expressed pro-survival protein in human malignancies and its cellular expression is
tightly regulated via multiple mechanisms. Mcl-1 differs from other members of the Bcl-2 family in having a very short half-life. So inhibition
of its expression and/or neutralization of its anti-apoptotic function will rapidly make Mcl-1-dependent cells more susceptible
to apoptosis and provide an opportunity to combat several types of cancers. This review summarizes the current knowledge on
the regulation of Mcl-1 expression and discusses the alternative approaches targeting Mcl-1 in human cancer cells whose survivals
mainly depend on Mcl-1.

The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes for visceral obesity by screening for genes strongly differentially
expressed between human subcutaneous and visceral adipose depots. A cDNA microarray with human adipose-derived cDNAs was used
as an initial screening to identify genes that are potentially differentially expressed between human subcutaneous and visceral
abdominal fat tissues. For the two best candidates, carboxypeptidase E (CPE) and thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) (EST N72406), real-time
RT-PCR was performed to confirm their depot specific expression in extremely obese individuals. Both genes appeared to be
strongly differentially expressed, having a higher expression in the visceral depot than in the subcutaneous one. For THBS1,
the difference in expression between the depots was greater in women than in men. The involvement of CPE and THBS1 in obesity
allows us to suggest that the physiological processes controlled by these genes contribute to depot and gender-related differences
in the metabolic complications of obesity.

Cisplatin-induced genes as potential markers for thyroid cancer 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Despite the uncontested role of p53 in cycle arrest/cell death after cisplatin treatment, to date the question whether wild-type p53 confers a resistant or sensitive status on the cell is still a matter of debate. Isogenic and isophenotypic human thyroid papillary carcinoma cell line variants for p53 differently expressed cycle genes after cisplatin treatment. Seven genes (CDC6-related protein, CCNC, GAS1, TFDP2, MAPK10/JNK3, WEE1, RPA1) selected after expression on an Atlas human cell cycle array were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. While cisplatin treatment increased their expression in p53 wild-type cells it decreased it in cells with inactivated p53 and had no or less effect on cells with mutated p53. These results show that in a well-defined system, different alterations of p53 can lead to a different regulation of genes and hence to either resistance or sensitivity to cisplatin. Moreover for the first time, MAPK10/JNK3 was identified in human thyroid cells and tissue. Four of the genes (CDC6-related protein, CCNC, GAS1 and TFDP2) were decreased in human papillary carcinoma tissues. Relevance of these genes (especially a decrease in GAS1 in thyroid papillary carcinoma) in various malignant pathologies has already been shown. These genes may be explored as new markers in advanced thyroid cancer such as metastatic and anaplastic forms displaying p53 alterations.Received 26 July 2004; received after revision 14 September 2004; accepted 26 October 2004 相似文献

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase: insight into cell-specific gene regulation in the vascular endothelium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The vascular endothelium plays a crucial role in regulating normal blood vessel physiology. The gene products responsible
are commonly expressed exclusively, or preferentially, in this cell type. However, despite the importance of regulated gene
expression in the vascular endothelium, relatively little is known about the mechanisms that restrict endothelial-specific
gene expression to this cell type. While significant progress has been made towards understanding the regulation of endothelial
genes through cis/trans paradigms, it has become apparent that additional mechanisms must also be operative. For example,
chromatin-based mechanisms, including cell-specific DNA methylation patterns and post-translational histone modifications,
have recently been demonstrated to play important roles in the cell-specific expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase
(eNOS). This review investigates the involvement of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in vascular endothelial cell-specific
gene expression using eNOS as a prototypical model, and will address the possible contributions of these pathways to diseases
of the vasculature.

An update on the biology and physiology of resistin 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Adeghate E 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》2004,61(19-20):2485-2496
Resistin is a newly discovered adipocyte hormone. It is related to resistin-like molecules alpha, beta and gamma in structure and function. Resistin is produced by white and brown adipose tissues but has also has been identified in several other tissues, including the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, myocytes, spleen, white blood cells and plasma. The tissue level of resistin is decreased by insulin, cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor alpha, endothelin-1 and increased by growth and gonadal hormones, hyperglycaemia, male gender and some proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 and lipopolysaccharide. Resistin antagonizes insulin action, and it is downregulated by rosiglitazone and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonists. Since evidence of a direct link between resistin genotype and human diabetes is still weak, more molecular, physiological and clinical studies are needed to determine the role of resistin in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs endogenously expressed by all tissues during development and adulthood. They regulate gene expression by controlling the stability of targeted messenger RNA. In cardiovascular tissues microRNAs play a role by modulating essential genes involved in heart and blood vessel development and homeostasis. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) system is a recognized vertebrate model system useful to study cardiovascular biology; recently, it has been used to investigate microRNA functions during natural and pathological states. In this review, we will illustrate the advantages of the zebrafish model in the study of microRNAs in heart and vascular cells, providing an update on recent discoveries using the zebrafish to identify new microRNAs and their targeted genes in cardiovascular tissues. Lastly, we will provide evidence that the zebrafish is an optimal model system to undercover new microRNA functions in vertebrates and to improve microRNA-based therapeutic approaches. 相似文献
