Abstract:

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor in adults and remains incurable with an average survival of 15 months after diagnosis. There is great need for treatment options without side effects that are devastating to the quality of life for patients. GBM tumors can circumvent cellular damage by upregulating antioxidant production. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Highly aggressive tumors tend to exhibit increased oxidative metabolism, and thus rely on a mechanism to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in order for cells to evade autophagy and cell death. We propose tha

The review contains current data on molecular mechanisms which control NAD+ homeostasis in brain cells. It also deals with the role of NAD+-converting enzymes in regulation of functional activity, viability and intercellular communication of neuronal and glial cells. Special attention is paid to involvement of CD38 into regulation of NAD+ levels in brain cells in normal and pathological conditions.

Erythropoietin, known for its role in erythroid differentiation, has been shown to be neuroprotective during brain ischaemia in adult animal models. Although high levels of erythropoietin receptor are produced in embryonic brain, the role of erythropoietin during brain development is uncertain. We now provide evidence that erythropoietin acts to stimulate neural progenitor cells and to prevent apoptosis in the embryonic brain. Mice lacking the erythropoietin receptor exhibit severe anaemia and defective cardiac development, and die at embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5). By E12.5, in addition to apopto

Abstract:

Coffee consumption is believed to have chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects and to contribute to preventing the development and progression of cancer. However, there is still controversy around these claims. As indicated in our previous works, diet can influence the risk of breast cancer. Intake of coffee is hypothesized to reduce this risk, but current scientific evidence is not conclusive. This work is aimed at studying the effects of Robusta coffee bean extract on cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis of different human cancers, especially breast cancer cell lines. To this en

Abstract:

Background. Glioblastoma or glioma is the most common malignant brain tumor. Patients have a prognosis of approximately 15 months, despite the current aggressive treatment. Neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) occurs naturally in human glioma, and it is necessary for the tumor development. Objective. The purpose of the study was to increase the knowledge about the involvement of the substance P (SP)/NK-1R system in human glioma. Methods. Cellular localization of NK-1R and SP was studied in GAMG and U-87 MG glioma cell lines by immunofluorescence. The contribution of both SP and NK-1R to the viability

ABSTRACT DYRK1A is the human orthologue of the Drosophila minibrain (mnb) gene, which is involved in postembryonic neurogenesis in flies. Because of its mapping position on chromosome 21 and the neurobehavioral alterations shown by mice overexpressing this gene, involvement of DYRK1A in some of the neurological defects of Down syndrome patients has been suggested. To gain insight into its physiological role, we have generated mice deficient in Dyrk1A function by gene targeting. Dyrk1A−/− null mutants presented a general growth delay and died during midgestation. Mice heterozygous for the mutat

Attenuations included gene shifting (VSV-p1-GFP/RFP), M protein mutation (VSV-M51), G protein cytoplasmic tail truncations (VSV-CT1/CT9), G protein deletions (VSV-dG-GFP/RFP), and combinations thereof (VSV-

Alterations in snoRNA expression have been described in multiple tumor types while distinct snoRNAs have been linked to cancer-relevant phenotypes. Our initial study on snoRNA expression using a dedicated Ampliseq platform revealed a specific glioma stem cell (GSC) signature. We propose this snoRNA signatu

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) serve as intercellular conduits for establishing robust, tumor-promoting networks within the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. TNTs are provoked by hypoxia and can passage organelles like mitochondria, i.e., between astrocytes and stem-like brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs).

Abstract Despite their molecular heterogeneity, glioblastomas (GBMs) retain a common phenotypical feature, which is their diffuse invasion through neural tissue that makes complete resection impossible.

Cytoskeleton-associated proteins of the DLG family are part of the Scribble polarity complex that maintains stable cell-cell junctions; accordingly, these proteins are “tumor suppressors” usually downregulated in solid tumors.
