Abstract:
Tumor heterogeneity observed between patients has made it challenging to develop universal or broadly effective cancer therapies. Therefore, an ever-growing movement within cancer research aims to tailor cancer therapies to individual patients or specific tumor subtypes. Tumor stratification is generally dictated by the genomic mutation status of the tumor cells themselves. Importantly, non-genetic influences – such as interactions between tumor cells and other components of the tumor microenvironment – have largely been ignored. Therefore, in an effort to increase treatment predictability and

Abstract:
One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is to exhibit increased uptake and consumption of glucose.3-5% of the glucose entering into the cell leads to a minor pathway of the glucose metabolismknown as the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP).

It corresponds to the addition of sugar moiety O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) on serine or threonine

Abstract:
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Most of ovarian cancer patients relapse and subsequently die due to the development of resistance to chemotherapy. P73 belongs to the tumor suppressor p53 family. Like p53, the transcriptionally active TAp73 can bind specifically to p53 responsive elements and transactivates some of the p53 target genes, and finally leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. TAp73 can be induced by DNA damage to enhance cellular sensitivity to anticancer agents in human cancer cells. However, the functions of TAp73 in ovarian cancer cells and t

Meanwhile molecule 3l, an E-3-(2-chloro-3-indolylmethylene)1,3-dihydroindol-2one, has been showed to reduce cyclin D1 level and, for this reason, 3l treatment could be used to study cyclin D1 role in DNA damage repair.

Abstract:
The heat shock response (HSR) is a robust cellular reaction to mitigate protein damage from heat and other challenges to the proteome. This protective molecular program in humans is controlled by heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1). Activation of HSF1 leads to the induction of an array of cytoprotective genes, many of which code for chaperones. These chaperones, known as heat shock proteins (HSPs), are responsible for maintaining the functional integrity of the proteome. HSPs achieve this by promoting proper folding and assembly of nascent proteins, refolding denatured

High levels of EGFR in many tumours correlate with a poor prognosis and an increased resistance to cytotoxic drugs.

To prepare conditioned media from stromal cells or mixcultures (Stromal cells : HeLa cells = 1:1), stromal cells prepared from stromal cells closed to the cervical tumor

Abstract:
The transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell is a pathological process involving several stages, which modifies cellular metabolism and supports: rapid generation of ATP, high rate of macromolecules biosynthesis and maintenance of the appropriate cellular redox state. Mitochondria play a central role in the eukaryotic cell because of their relevance in biosynthetic and bioenergetic metabolisms. Additionally, mitochondria are also responsible for the production and/or control of various types of signals (including molecules), involved in cellular signalling processes that modulate var
