Ceramide metabolism determines glioma cell resistance to chemotherapy.

29 Nov 2009 Tumor cell resistance to chemotherapy constitutes a major problem in the treatment of malignant tumors. We here investigated the role of ceramide metabolism for the resistance of glioma cells to treatment with the chemotherapeutic drug, gemcitabine. ... Read more...

Growth inhibition of bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells following long-term heparin treatment.

29 Nov 2009 Heparin (HP) inhibits pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) growth in vitro and vascular remodeling in vivo. Bârzu et al. (1994) suggested that the antiproliferative effect of HP on rat aortic smooth muscle cell in vitro diminishes with ... Read more...

Annexin-A7 protects normal prostate cells and induces distinct patterns of RB-associated cytotoxicity in androgen-sensitive and -resistant prostate cancer cells.

29 Nov 2009 The tumor suppressor role of annexin-A7 (ANXA7) was previously demonstrated by cancer susceptibility in Anxa7(+/-)-mice and by ANXA7 loss in human cancers, especially in hormone-resistant prostate tumors. To gain mechanistic insights into ANXA7 ... Read more...
