Abstract:

Die Photodynamische Therapie (PDT) hat sich zunehmend als vielversprechende Methode zur Behandlung von verschiedenen malignen Neubildungen gezeigt. Die photodynamische Zerstörung der Tumore wird erreicht indem zunächst ein Photosensibilisator entweder lokal oder systemisch appliziert wird und im Anschluss an eine gewisse Inkubationszeit die Tumormasse mittels einer Lichtquelle mit einer spezifischen Wellenlänge durchleuchtet wird. Aufgrund der bevorzugten Anreicherung des Photosensibilisators in Tumorzellen, erlaubt diese Methode eine selektive Abtötung des malignen Tumors, während das umliege

Abstract:

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown to be a promising technique to treat various forms of malignant neoplasia. The photodynamic eradication of the tumor cells is achieved by applying a photosensitizer either locally or systemically and following local activation through irradiation of the tumor mass with light of a specific wavelength after a certain time of incubation. Due to preferential accumulation of the photosensitizer in tumor cells, this procedure allows a selective inactivation of the malignant tumor while sparing the surrounding tissue to the greatest extent. These features and requ

Abstract:

Improvements in treatment over the past century have greatly increased survival for retinoblastoma, a rare childhood tumour of the eye, caused by mutations of the RB1 tumour suppressor gene. However, as survival for retinoblastoma has improved, those with the hereditary form of the disease (RB1 germline mutation) have elevated risks of developing additional cancers, mostly bone and soft tissue sarcomas and melanoma. Despite advances in understanding of second cancer risks following treatment for retinoblastoma, key research questions remained including 1) risks of common adult onset cancers, s

Le rétinoblastome est un cancer pédiatrique rare de la rétine en cours de développement.

Abstract:

The retinoblastoma (RB) family of proteins plays a pivotal role in cell cycle regulation. Its members, p105/Rb, p107 and p130, interact with the E2F and DP family of transcription factors to regulate transcription of essential cell cycle and DNA synthesis genes. Several reports have mapped the regulation of E217 by RB family members to the "pocket" domain of these proteins. We demonstrate here that RBP2, a pocket-binding protein that encodes multiple DNA-binding and protein-protein interaction domains, is a transcriptional repressor. Overexpression of RBP2 inhibits E2F-dependent transcription

Abstract:

The retinoblastoma protein (pRb) is a central figure in the control of not only the cell cycle, but also other cellular functions such as differentiation. The regulation of pRb function is through a variety of post translational modifications, either on pRb itself, or by the controlling influence of pRb on the post translational modification of the histone proteins. Phosphorylation of pRb is a key mechanism in the regulation of the cell cycle. pRb is also involved in the recruitment of histone methyltransferase (HMT) and acetyltransferase (HAT) to the chromatin to modify histones.

The retinoblastoma (Rb) protein was known to be a critical cell cycle regulator in tumour cells, however, little was known regarding its role in normal neural development. To determine the importance of the Rb signalling pathway in neural precursor proliferation and differentiation, I first characterized the key cell cycle regulators and examined the requirement for Rb in these processes. In contrast to previous studies, dominant negative CDK4/6 mutants induced mitotic arrest in neural precursors, despite the binding and sequestration of the Cip/Kip CKIs, p21Cip1 and p27 Kip1.

Abstract:

Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer of the retina and is the most common intraocular tumor in children. Classically, retinoblastoma results from biallelic loss of the RB1 tumor suppressor gene. As with other cancer types, dysregulation of a single gene alone is not considered sufficient for complete transformation to malignancy. Frequent regions of genetic alteration harbouring additional genes, implicated in retinoblastoma oncogenesis and progression, include chromosomes 1q, 2p, 6p, 13q and 16q. Sensitive molecular genetic screening techniques are capable of identifying RB1 mutations in

Abstract:

New neurons continue to be added to the dentate gyrus (DG) throughout adulthood and enhancing neurogenesis in this region holds therapeutic potential. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying DG neurogenesis remain elusive. Since developmental and adult neurogenesis often share the same signaling pathways, understanding how the DG develops is crucial to understanding adult neurogenesis. This study aims to determine the role of the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein in DG development and to determine if modulation of this pathway holds potential for enhancing neurogenesis in an adult system.

When liver regeneration following either hepatectomy or necrosis occurred in the absence of Rb, the result was deregulated hepatocyte division, with acceleration of hepatocyte proliferation.
