Abstract:

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with extreme mortality and morbidity. Although initially chemo- and radio-sensitive, almost inevitable recurrence and resistance occurs. SCLC patients often present with metastases, making surgery not feasible. Current therapies, rationally designed on underlying pathogenesis, produce in vitro results, however, these have failed to translate into satisfactory clinical outcomes. Recently, research into cancer stem cells (CSCs) has gained momentum and form an attractive target for novel therapies. Based on this concept, CSCs are the

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>Introduction: Globally, there are over 190,000 new reported cases of ovarian cancers per annum. This comprises 3% to 4% of all cancers in women. Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths in women. Ovarian cancer is the second most diagnosed gynaecological malignancy and over all the fifth cause leading to death among all types of cancer in the UK in 2004. More than 70% of epithelial ovarian cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Consequently, the prognosis is poor and the mortality rate high. Thus, the survival rate is affected by how far the disea

Abstract:

Tumor heterogeneity has long been observed and recognized as a challenge to cancer therapy. The cancer stem cell (CSC) model is one of the hypotheses proposed to explain such a phenomenon. A specific cancer stem cell marker has not been determined for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), preventing the definitive evaluation of whether the biology of NSCLC is governed by the CSC model. This study aimed to analyze the expression of candidate CSC markers and using the identified putative marker, to isolate CSC and determine the applicability of the CSC model in NSCLC.

Abstract:

The high mortality rate associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is due to its insidious onset, leading to late diagnosis as well as eventual development of chemoresistance in the majority of patients. Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are thought to contribute to development of multi-drug resistant (MDR) tumours partly through their high level of ABC-transporter expression, which enables them to survive chemotherapy. ABC-transporter (MRP1, MRP2, BCRP, Pgp) and putative CSC-marker (ALDH1A1, CD44) expression was therefore evaluated by immunohistochemistry in a paraffin-embedded cohort of 57

Studies have shown that gain-of- function mutant p53, AKT, and NFκB promote invasion and metastasis in tumor cells. Signals transduced by AKT and p53 are integrated via negative feedback between the two pathways. Tumor derived p53 was also indicated to induce NFκB gene expression. Due to the close relationship between p53/AKT and p53/NFκB, we hypothesized that AKT and NFκB can enhance motility in cells expressing mutant p53. Effects on cell motility were determined by scratch assays. CXCL5- chemokine is also known to induce cell motility. We hypothesized that enhanced cell motility by AKT and

Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) have the potential to transform the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterised by an intense desmoplastic stromal response that can comprise 60 to 80% of tumour volume and has been implicated to be a factor in promoting tumour invasiveness and the poor prognosis associated with this cancer type. It is now well established that pancreatic stellate cells, which are vitamin A storing cells found in the periacinar spaces of the stroma in the normal gland, are primarily responsible for this desmoplastic reaction.

Firstly, I studied the interaction between hMSCs and T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cells under pegylated arginase I (BCT-100) treatment. Three T-ALL cell lines were sensitive to BCT-100 but not hMSCs. Conversely, hMSCs could partly protect all T-ALL cell lines fro

The Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) theory suggests that cancers arise from and are maintained by a subpopulation of cancer cells with stem cell properties. Molecular chaperones are key components of cellular regulation. The overexpression of chaperones has become synonymous with cancer cells with chaperones being recognized as bona fide anti-cancer drug targets. Although chaperone activity has been characterized in cancer cells, very little is known about the cellular functions of chaperones in cancer stem cells.

Tumor recurrence after chemotherapy is a major cause of patient morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>化學工程與材料工程學系<br>106<br>Tumors contain a small subpopulation of cells, i.e., cancer-initiating cells or cancer stem cells (CSCs), which exhibit stem cell properties, possess a self-renewing capacity and are responsible for tumor generation and metastasis. Cancer stem cells persist in tumors as a distinct population and cause relapse and metastasis by giving rise to new tumors. Furthermore, it is expected to establish primary colon cancer cell lines in vitro, since patient specific colon cancer cell lines is in great advantages of developing patient specific therapy in clinical ap

碩士<br>國立暨南國際大學<br>生物醫學科技研究所<br>98<br>In this paper, we discussed the cell-substrate interaction by adding several kinds of stimulus to cancer cells and normal cells. In the work, we seeded the living cells onto the silicon wafer surface that was modified with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APTES)for different periods of time, then removed the cells from the chip and, measured the surface morphology profiles of the γ-APTES layer by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to realize the possible cell-substrate interactions between the cell and the substrate beneath, and to observe the evolvement of cell

碩士<br>國立陽明大學<br>微生物及免疫學研究所<br>96<br>Colorectal cancer is third common cause of cancer-related death, indicating that some of its cancer cells are not eradicated by current therapies. Recent observations indicate that, in several types of human cancer, only a phenotypic subset of cancer cells within each tumor is capable of initiating tumor growth. This functional subset of cancer cells is operationally defined as the ‘‘cancer stem cell’’ (CSC) subset. There are two strategies to identify CSCs. Side population (SP) cells have been isolated from several solid tumors, and CRC-CSCs also have a put

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立陽明大學<br>醫學生物技術研究所<br>94<br>The human dermatopontin (DPT), a component of the extracellular matrix, interacts with TGFβ and decorin. The decorin has been shown to suppress the transformation phenotype of colon carcinoma cells. Interestingly, DPT protein sequence is 92% homolog to EQ-1, an early quiescence-1 murine gene, which is induced shortly after serum deprivation in BALB/c 3T3 cells and its RNA is markedly expressed in heart and lung (1). To test whether DPT is also related to cell quiescence, we have examined its expression in serum-deprived condition in RKO and SKOV3-ip1 cancer c
