Full textThe social work in pediatric oncology is quite a young professional area which is not yet fully developed. The oncology patients are children who together with their parents arrive to the hospital for a long stay and need help to adapt to new life situation. Especially parents need help in the first days and get some time to accept the diagnosis of their child and find ways how to fight with it. The social workers in pediatric oncology can provide help in the hospital and outside the hospital. However, it is not clear what role the social worker should have while helping the patients and their families in pediatric oncology area. The aim of the research is to analize what role does the social work theory and the Lithuanian jurisdiction delegate and what are the needs of oncology patients and their parents. The research was conducted according to the scientific literature analysis and the methods of the grounded theory. The social work roles were analysed according to such social work theory perspectives: the humanism-existencialim, behaviorsim, radical-marxist and empowerment and advocacy. There were six respondeds that participated in the research. Five of those were children oncology staff and the sixth respondend was a patient‘s father. According to the research results the administrator‘s role of the social worker in children‘s oncology area does not comply with social work theory. Also, according to the Lithuanian jurisdiction it is too narrow and undeveloped. The needs... [to full text]

Full textBackground: Oncology nurses care, support and have daily close contact with patients and their family. Therefore, they are one of the professional groups who are exposed to stress and burnout. Burnout is linked to stress and is defined as a condition caused by prolonged stress in the profession with close human contact.Aim: The main aim of this literature study was to highlight the nurses' experiences of burnout in oncological care. Method: This study based on ten scientific articles used as a basis for this study in a qualitative design. The articles collected from PubMed and CINAHL's databases to answer the aim of the study. Result: Nursing experiences of burnout were identified and divided in three different categories and six sub-categories. The identified categories were: Burnout experience of oncology nurse individually, Experience of burnout related to the relationship between the oncology nurse and the patient, Experience of burnout related to the workplace and the healthcare organization. Work experience, Excessive Engagement, Stress in Private Life, Close Contact with the Patient, Emotional Stress, Lack of Knowledge, Stressful job were sub-categories identified. Conclusion: Oncology nurses experienced burnout by caring to critical cancer patients. They were also exposed to prolonged stress effected by stressful environment. Burnout had a negative impact on their private lives, too.Keywords: Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, Experience, Nurses, Oncology nursing.
Höglund, Erik. "DNA fragmentation in cultured cells exposed to high linear energy transfer radiation." Doctoral thesis, Uppsala University, Department of Oncology, Radiology and Clinical Immunology, 2000. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-1254.
Full textThe DNA double-strand break (DSB) is a critical lesion which, if not completely restored, can have serious biological consequences. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of many severe end-points are closely related to radiation quality, with increased effectiveness at elevated ionization density. Data presented provide information about the influence of radiation quality on the initial processes causing DNA damage, and the mechanisms leading to its restoration. Such information will increase the understanding of radiation action mechanisms in mammalian cells.
Human cells were irradiated with accelerated ions having linear energy transfer (LET) values in the range 40-225 keV/μm, and 60Co-photons. Detailed analyses of the DNA fragment distributions were performed in the size-range 5 kilobasepairs to 6 megabasepairs by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
A non-random fragmentation of DNA was evident, with an elevated number of small and medium-sized fragments for ion irradiation, and the total number of breaks increased by 80-110% when these fragments were included in the analyses. The RBE for DSB induction was 1.2-1.5. A two-fold increase of the number of breaks induced per nitrogen ion passing the cell nuclues was found when LET was increased from 80 to 225 keV/μm, indicating a possible role of particle track structure in DSB induction. Furthermore, the ability to repair DNA was closely related to radiation quality, with an increased proportion of unrejoined breaks for densely ionizing radiation. Surprisingly, the majority of breaks were rapidly rejoined even following exposure to high-LET radiation. The proportion of breaks restored by the slow phase showed a five-fold increase for the highest LET tested, compared with photons. The results presented nominates the complexity of breaks as one determining factor for reduced reparability reported following high-LET exposure.

Full textThe incidence of urinary bladder carcinoma is increasing and many patients die every year of this disease despite assumed radical therapy. Thus, there is a need for improved methods of diagnosis and therapy. Radionuclide targeting is based on achieving specific delivery of radioactive nuclides to tumour cells with minimal damage to surrounding normal tissues. Two possible target structures are the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and the related receptor HER-2.
Cellular binding and retention of 125I-EGF-dextran conjugates was investigated in two bladder carcinoma cell lines. The conjugate bound specifically to the EGF receptor with delayed maximum binding, limited intracellular degradation and prolonged cellular retention compared to 125I-EGF.
EGF was labelled using different radionuclides and methods. All the labelled variants bound specifically to the tumour cells although the cellular binding patterns and retention varied considerably. 111In-DTPA-EGF had highest cellular retention and in decreasing order 211At-benzoyl-EGF and 125I-labelled EGF.
Bladder cancer spheroids bound both 125I-EGF-dextran as well as 125I-EGF. Conjugate binding increased during a 48 h incubation period and was most prominent in the outer cell layers. The length of the dextran chain appeared not to alter the binding pattern.
The expression of EGF receptors and HER-2 in metastases and primary bladder carcinoma tumours was investigated. Both receptors were expressed in the majority of metastases and primary tumours.
Targeting the EGF receptor and/or HER-2 in urinary bladder carcinoma is an exciting new concept.
Sörby, Maria. "Structural and Functional Studies of the Density Enhanced Receptor-like Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase DEP-1." Doctoral thesis, Uppsala University, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, 2001. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-1099.
Full textTyrosine phosphorylation is a central mechanism in cellular signalling leading to proliferation, migration or differentiation. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation is regulated by the coordinated actions of protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases. This thesis investigates the involvement of tyrosine phosphatases in contact-induced growth inhibition of cells. Furthermore, it describes the structure and function of the extracellular domain of the receptor-like tyrosine phosphatase DEP- 1.
Tyrosine phosphatases, negatively regulating tyrosine kinases, have been suggested being involved in contact-induced growth inhibition of cells. Both endogenous EGF-receptors and transfected PDGF receptors showed a decreased ligand-induced tyrosine phosphorylation in cells of dense cultures. This difference was found to be due to increased receptor-directed tyrosine phosphatase activity in dense cultures.
Density enhanced tyrosine phosphatase-1 (DEP-1) is a receptor-like tyrosine phosphatase. It was found that DEP-1 contains chondroitin sulfate chains, thus identifying DEP-1 as a proteoglycan. Furthermore, DEP-1 was found to interact with a heparan sulfate proteoglycan.
No ligands have been identified for DEP-1. We have established a biacore-based assay for the identification of molecules interacting with the extracellular domain of DEP-1. A library of cell conditioned media was screened with the biacore assay. One of the samples was found to contain DEP-1 interacting molecules. Purification of the ligand has been initiated.
In an attempt to identify modulators of DEP-1 activity, Matrigell™ , a preparation of extracellular matrix was investigated. Stimulation with Matrigel™ was found to increase the specific activity of DEP-1 through interactions between the extracellular domain of DEP-1 and Matrigel™ component(s).

Ćelije u eksponencijalnoj fazi rasta tretirane su rastućim koncentracijama metformina, nitroglicerina i 2-deoksi-D-glukoze i utvrdila se dozna zavisnost citotoksičnog efekta. Metformin, kofein i 2-deoksi-D-glukoza su uticali na smanjenje procenta preživljavanja tumorskih ćelija, dok je primenom nitroglicerina ovaj efekat izostao, iako u eksperimentima kod istovremene primene nitroglicerina i kofeina postoji pad procenta preživelih ćelija. Najpotentniji efekat je postignut kod istovremene primene metformina i kofeina, dok je razlog za odsustvo snažnog citotoksičnog efekta metformina i 2-deoksi-D-glukoze kod kombinovane primene molekularni mehanizam delovanja pojedinačnih supstanci. Snažan proliferativni efekat je evidentiran primenom metformina i kofena na zdravim fibroblastima pluća.

An in vitro study of the effects of metformin, nitroglycerin, 2-deoxy-D-glucose and caffeine on the proliferation of cervical cancer cells (HeLa), cell culture of the lung adenocarcinoma (A549), and colon cancer of the colon (HT29). The cells at the exponential growth stage were treated with rising concentrations of metformin, nitroglycerin and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, and the cytotoxic effect was determined. Metformin, caffeine, and 2-deoxy-D-glucose reduced the number of tumor cells, while nitroglycerin did not it could be concluded. Although there is a decrease in survival in experiments with the simultaneous administration of nitroglycerin and caffeine, the most effective effect is achieved in the simultaneous use of metformin and caffeine, while the reason for the absence of a potent cytotoxic effect of metformin and -deoxy-D-glucose is the molecular mechanism of the action of individual substances. The most significant effect was achieved with the simultaneous administration of metformin and caffeine to the cell culture of lung adenocarcinoma. A potent proliferative effect was recorded using metformin and 2-deoxy-Dglucose on healthy lung fibroblasts.

Full textIn hematology and oncology histological diagnosis is an important requirement before differential chemotherapy. Sonographically guided puncture techniques achieving cytological and histological material is a time-saving process with moderate risks for the patients. With this material even immunhistological procedures in malignancies like Non-Hodgkin lymphoma are possible. For intensified chemotherapies in malignant diseases central venous catheter such as port catheters are requiriered. In this thesis complications and their management are shown and discussed. The ultrasounically guided central venous puncture represents a method for fast and low risk procedure for our patients. The one-operator technique represents an innovative and save intervention in a potentially risky procedure for physicians.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of a new ultrasound contrast agent,SonazoidTM, intended for use in patients with suspicion of prostate cancer.
The sonographic appearance of normal prostatic vascularity in dogs was evaluated before and after injection of Sonazoid,using different Doppler flow detection modes.The use of Sonazoid significantly improved the visibility of the vascular pattern in normal dog prostate,both with colour and power Doppler imaging.There was a significant difference in the depiction of blood flow in the prostate between the two imaging modalities,showing the power Doppler superior to colour Doppler imaging.The contrast revealed a radial,spoke-like intraprostatic pattern,not seen prior to contrast injection.
Different ultrasound imaging modalities were tested in a small group of young healthy male volunteers to evaluate the visibility of the normal prostate blood flow with and without Sonazoid.
The ultrasound contrast agent improved the visibility of the normal human prostate vascular anatomy for both colour and power Doppler imaging.Again,the improvement was significantly better for power Doppler than for colour Doppler imaging.Using fundamental B-mode,there was no major difference in the ultrasound appearance of the prost ate vascular it y before and after i njection of Sonazoid.Cont rast dynamic st udies of blood flow wit hi n t he normal gland showed a filling from the periphery towards the centre in all subjects,demonstrating a symmetric, radial vascular pattern.
A canine prostate model was used to investigate if Sonazoid,could improve the visualisation of prostatic vessels to better delineate areas on normal and decreased blood flow.Both 2D and 3D power Doppler imaging was performed in this study.The visibility of the prostate blood flow improved significantly following injection of Sonazoid for both 2D and 3D power Doppler imaging.There was,however,no major difference in depicting the vascularity using 2D and 3D imaging.After injection of Sonazoid,a disturbance of the radial vascular pattern and a lack of blood flow symmetry between the two prostate lobes were possible to identify.The added information gained by injection of Sonazoid made it possible to identify areas of decreased blood flow not seen prior to contrast injection.
The vascular pattern of lesions,identified with B-mode imaging in patients with suspicion of prostate cancer,was studied,using Sonazoid.Contrast dynamic inflow in the lesions,compared to the adjacent tissue was investigated in the same study.Prostate cancer lesions appeared hypervasuclar prior to ultrasound contrast agent.Three of six cancer lesions changed from hypervascular to marked hypervascular following injection of Sonazoid,a finding that might be interpreted as a higher level of confidence.None of the non-cancer lesions were assessed as hypervascular after Sonazoid injection,a possible increased value of a negative finding.Four of the cancer lesions enhanced earlier compared to the surrounding prostate tissue,following ultrasound contrast injection.The results indicate that changes in vascular architecture,e.g.induction of angiogenesis by tumour cells,can be observed by ultrasonographically determining the inflow pattern of an intravenously injected ultrasound contrast agent.

Full textBackground: Modified Early Warning Score, MEWS, is a scoring system (0-17 points) for assessment of patients’ vital signs. The function of MEWS is to detect deteriating patients at an early stage, and being able to put in adequate treatment before their physical condition worsens. The benefits from using MEWS on oncology patients have so far been researched to small extent. A study from 2012 indicates that MEWS is not an effective tool for detecting deteriation in oncology patients. Objective: To research if oncology patients have scores 0-17 on MEWS measurements the week before they are deceased. The writers also intend to research which certain parameters within MEWS caused higher overall scores, and lastly whether there are any differences in scores between men and women. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed on a total of 104 MEWS measurements belonging to 70 deceased patients. Results: The main results show an average MEWS of 2,99 points during the last week of the patients’ lives. Respiratory rate was the variable within MEWS to cause elevated scores (≥1) most often. The average MEWS increased from 3,13 points the seventh day before death to 8 points the last day before death, but due to the low frequency of measurements from the last day of the patients’ lives, it is not possible to make any assumptions based on these results. Furthermore, the initial loss of patients meeting the inclusion criteria was substantial due to low prevalence of registered MEWS. Conclusion: The results indicate that MEWS is not used on oncology patients to a great extent. It is not, however, possible to determine whether MEWS is a relevant assessment tool in care of oncology patients, and further research is therefore needed.

Full textWhile malignant illnesses became the second death cause by frequency in Lithuania, there are more and more people giving care to their close ones that suffer from malignant illness. These changed circumstances affect their professional careers, raise social, financial and, of course, psychological issues. Notwithstanding the hardships, it has been noted that some caregivers being psychologically resilient, are able to successfully adapt to the changed situation. The objective of this study is to disclose and describe the criteria of psychological resilience, that have been named as significant and those that assist in adapting when giving care to an oncological patient. For this purpose 26 main informal caregivers have been inquired, who have been giving care to a patient for not less than a year. They have been given a Caregiver Strain Index. Those participants that have achieved less than 7 scores (which indicates low strain) have been invited to take part in a phenomenological interview, which has been conducted under Giorgi method. 10 participants took part in this phase. After the general phenomenon has been described, it has been determined that in an inter-personal context the participants of the study had related their psychological resilience with the inter-relationship empathy with other people. It can be experienced together with other people that ended up in a similar situation or with other relatives, colleagues or completely unknown people. In the interpersonal... [to full text]

Full textVid Onkologiska klinikens behandlingsmottagning ges cytostatika till de patienter som inte är inlagda vid kliniken. Arbetsförhållandena för sjuksköterskorna på mottagningen är ibland mycket påfrestande, genom att arbetsbelastningen kan vara mycket varierande, både mellan olika dagar och mellan olika sjuksköterskor. Vidare ger dagens bokningsrutiner inte någon samordning mellan sjuksköterskorna, vilket gör att mottagningen även har svårigheter att på ett bra sätt utnyttja sina behandlingsresurser.
Behandlingstiderna för patienterna bokas idag löpande. Examensarbetet syftar till att simulera förändringar i dagens verksamhet. Vi undersöker möjligheterna att genom samordnad bokning dels förbättra arbetsförhållandena för sjuksköterskorna och dels förbättra resursutnyttjandet vid mottagningen. Detta görs genom att konstruera dagsscheman för sjuksköterskorna. Arbetsförhållandena i dessa dagsschemana styrs av regler. Genom att utnyttja historisk statistik över utförda behandlingar genereras dagsscheman som uppfyller mottagningens behandlingsbehov på lång sikt. På så sätt kan även mottagningens maximala behandlingskapacitet undersökas. Dagsscheman skapas med hjälp av kolumngenerering, varvid kolumngenereringsproblemet löses med en girig heuristik.
Analyser visar att det finns stora möjligheter att med hjälp av samordnad bokning förbättra arbetsförhållandena för sjuksköterskorna, samtidigt som samma antal patienter, eller till och med fler, kan behandlas.

Full textABSTRACT Background: Health care is burdened by many unnecessary emergency readmissions. Nursing care of patients with cancer occurs continuously throughout the patients illness. Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the reasons behind the emergency admissions of patients with cancer in inpatient care to see if there are any differences between patients with different cancer diagnoses and different treatment goals. The aim of the study is also to see how long the admission lasted and examine factors that may be important for length of the admission. Method: The method used is a quantitative survey with a retrospective and descriptive design. The study included 100 patients with a diagnosis of cancer in Uppsala and Stockholm. Data were collected by reviewing medical records. Results: In both Uppsala and Stockholm, 78% of emergency admissions were of patients with palliative treatment goals. The most common causes of acute admissions in Uppsala were nausea and vomiting and treatment of side effects for patients with a curative treatment goal, while patients with a palliative treatment goal were admitted acutely because of ileus/constipation or pain. In Stockholm, the treatment side effects such as infection accounted for the most common cause of acute admission followed by poor general condition. The most common diagnostic groups were gastrointestinal cancer, genitourinary cancer and breast cancer. Conclusion: The study results show that patients with a palliative treatment goal occupy a large part of the emergency admissions of the oncology inpatient care. The nurse has an important role in the planning and identification of a cancer patient's care needs and are able to prevent many acute readmissions.

Full textBröstcancer är en vanlig sjukdom och dödsorsak bland kvinnor i Sverige. Könshormonet östrogen tillsammas med cellernas receptorer för hormonet spelar en viktig roll för bröstcancerutvecklingen. Därför behandlas denna sjukdom med anti-hormonella substanser inriktade mot hämning av östrogensyntes/östrogen receptorn. Tamoxifen är den vanligaste formen av anti-östrogenbehandling som används efter operation. Tamoxifenbehandling förbättrar betydligt 5-årsöverlevnaden hos patienter med östrogenreceptorpositiva tumörer. Emellertid finns det patienter som återkommer med metastaser efter en tid. I det här projektet studerar vi andra receptorer samt deras signalvägar som kan aktivera östrogenreceptorn och därmed orsaka tamoxifenresistens. En sådan receptor är HER-2 vilken överuttrycks i 15-20% vid bröstumörer. HER-2 receptorn kan rekrytera proteiner med enzymatisk aktivitet, till exempel PI3K. PI3K aktiverar ett annat enzym, AKT, vilket är inblandat i en kaskad som leder till tumörtillväxt och tumöröverlevnad (genom till exempel aktivering av östrogenreceptorn). Våra resultat hitills visar att patienter med aktiverat AKT (pAKT) har större risk att få metastaser och därmed sämre överlevnad än patienter utan pAKT, detta trots hormonell behandling. I större material där HER-2 proteinuttrycket korrelerar med pAKT har vi också funnit att patienter med AKTnegativa tumörer kunde dra nytta av både tamoxifen och strålbehandling. Vi har även undersökt PIK3CA genen (som kodar för en del av PI3K) och hittat mutationer i 24% av bröstumörerna. Det är dock ännu oklart hur dessa mutationer ska tas hänsyn till för att kunna bestämma en effektiv behandling. PTEN är ett annat enzym som motverkar PI3K-aktivitet. Bortfall av PTEN förekommer ofta i bröstcancer och har associerats med PI3K/AKT aktivering. I vårt material var PTEN-förlust frekvent (37%) och associerades med PIK3CA mutationer. PTEN förlust som ensam faktor eller tillsammans med PIK3CA mutationer ökade strålkänslighet. Andra proteiner som är inblandade i PI3K signalvägen är S6K1 och S6K2 och dessa har betydelse för cellens proteinsyntes. Nyligen har vi kunnat visa att generna för både S6K1/2 finns i många kopior (genamplifering) I tumörcellerna hos bröstcancerpatienter. Dessutom fanns det ett positivt samband mellan S6K1/2 amplifiering och amplifiering av andra kända cancergener (som t. ex HER-2 och cyclin D1) men förhållandet till PIK3CA-mutationer var det omvända. Patienter med antigen S6K1 eller HER-2 amplifierade tumörer svarade dåligt på strålbehandling men skulle möjligen kunna behandlas med en specifik substans riktad mot S6K1 eller HER-2. Ett ökat antal kopior av S6K2 indikerade dålig prognos men bra nytta av tamoxifen. Våra resultat visar att PI3K/AKT signalvägen ofta är aktiverad vid bröstcancer och skulle kunna vara en viktig måltavla för behandling.

Full textBackground: Cancer is a diagnosis which encompasses diseases with abnormal and uncontrolled cellular growth. Tens of thousands of people are affected by cancer every year in Sweden. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a concept used to describe people’s perception of well-being in relation to their health. HRQoL can also be used as a tool to understand the patients and the changes they go through during progression of disease and treatment. Oncological rehabilitation is offered to some patient groups. The goal with the rehabilitation is to give the patients control back over their lives through education and training. Aim: To study the oncological rehabilitations effect on HRQoL over time. Method: All patients remitted to a certain rehabilitation facility in Sweden during one year were asked to participate. To evaluate the HRQoL the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was sent out to the respondents at baseline and after three and six months. Descriptive statistics. Result: The results of the study showed that quality of life was low and unaffected at the three measurements. The functions reached their highest value after three months. The symptoms overall decreased at each measurement. The most positive change was seen with insomnia. Conclusion: In conclusion, the quality of life was unaffected during the first six months after the rehabilitation. The improvement of the participants’ insomnia might be a positive outcome of the rehabilitation. The results points to some differences between gender, cancerdiagnose and people born in Sweden or abroad; but these might as well depend on differences in the population. The functions higher value after three months might show a need for follow-up rehabilitation. Clinical implication: The result of the study is to be used in a quality audit.

Full textBackground: Throughout the ages sexuality has been a taboo subject. Today, knowledge is more extensive and the view on sexuality has developed into being less of a taboo but nonetheless, sexuality is fairly new and unexplored in care situations. One of the nurse’s primary tasks is to promote health and to prevent illness and to that the sexual aspect of health is also included. Research has shown that a large proportion of people who are cared for because of cancer, encounter obstacles or issues of sexuality or sexual dysfunction. Studies have shown that information regarding possible side effects on sexuality stemming from treatments and medications used against cancer, is scarce. Aim: The aim with this review was to illuminate the communication between health care professionals and adults in oncology care about sexuality. Method: This literature review was compiled by collection of material from previous studies and other scientific literature for the chosen field of health sciences. The basis for the outcome consists of ten scientific articles on cancer, sexuality and communication. The articles were found in the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. The material was examined and analyzed according to Friberg's method. The result was summarized in two main themes with two subthemes respectively. Results: The result shows that people who have been diagnosed with cancer rarely had talked to healthcare professionals about, or been given insufficient information about, treatment and pharmaceuticals and what consequences for the sexuality these and the disease itself may imply. Both healthcare professionals and patients state that it can be difficult to talk about sexuality as there are barriers or factors that can prevent such conversations. An often mentioned barrier was time, where patients did not want to spend precious time for the staff with their "trivial" problems or that the healthcare staff themselves blamed it on a lack of time. The results also show that information on sexuality was a priority for those who suffered from sexuality related cancers despite the fact that sexuality-related problems can be experienced regardless of the type of cancer or treatment. Discussion: The conclusion is that using the right methods and materials, communication on sexuality can be facilitated to a large extent. BETTER and PLISSIT are two models that, with the right application, also can help patients to address issues related to sexuality themselves.

Full textMembers of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of growth and differentiation factors regulate a vast array of biological functions in the adult, and are of great importance in governing cell fate determination and patterning in the developing embryo. The TGF-β signal is propagated intracellularly by Smad proteins resulting in transcriptional responses. Smad6 and Smad7 are inhibitory Smads known to downregulate the TGF-β signal and thereby possibly modulating the biological response. This thesis describes a functional analysis of the inhibitory Smad7 from an in vitro and in vivo perspective.
The prostate gland is dependent on androgens for its growth and differentiation. Androgen withdrawal can cause regression and apoptosis in normal and malignant prostate. Previous studies suggest a role for TGF-β in the apoptotic mechanism. We investigated the expression levels of Smad proteins in the rat ventral prostate as well as in an androgen sensitive prostate tumor model (Dunning R3327 PAP) by immunohistochemistry. We observed an increased immunoreactivity for Smad3, Smad4 and phosphorylated Smad2 in the rat ventral prostate epithelial cells after castration, as well as in the prostate tumor cells. Expression of inhibitory Smad6 and Smad7 were also increased in both normal and malignant prostate in response to castration.
Several studies have shown that Smad7 is upregulated in response to TGF-β stimuli, suggesting a role in a negative feedback loop attenuating the TGF-β response. We investigated the molecular mechanism behind that response by studying the transcriptional regulation of the Smad7 gene. We identified a palindromic Smad binding element (SBE) in the promoter. Point mutations introduced into the SBE abolished transcriptional activation via TGF-β. We also observed that mutating or deleting binding motifs for Sp1 and AP-1, led to an attenuation of the TGF-β mediated transcriptional induction as well as the basal promoter activity.
Gene ablation of Smad proteins has revealed specific physiological and developmental roles. We analysed mice targeted on the Smad7 locus. The mice appeared viable and fertile with a slight reduction in litter size, suggesting a perinatal loss. Biochemical analysis of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) showed no major difference between wild type and mutant MEFs.
