Telomerase a prognostic marker an therapeutic target
… can be potentially used as a glioma progressive marker. This is the first study to report the potential involvement of telomerase in the regulation of vimentin expression. This study also identified that combination therapy, comprising siRNA targeted towards telomerase regulatory mechanisms and …

Cell-free DNA and tumor exosome cargo as diagnostic and prognostic marker for prostate cancer
… antigen (PSA) has long been introduced as a biomarker for screening in PCa diagnosis. However, serum PSA has low sensitivity for PCa diagnosis which has led to serious harm such as overdiagnosis and other complications of treatment for indolent disease. This makes it imperative to search for …

Occluson Pattern in Circle of Willis: Prognostic Marker for Endovascular Treatment in Acute Carotid Terminus Occlusion
… high. In this study, we aimed to discover a prognostic marker for acute CTO, thereby selectively sorting out patients who are not worthwhile for further endovascular treatment. METHODS: This is a retrospective study by reviewing our prospectively registered database of acute ischemic stroke …

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF PARAOXONASE-1 IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS: BEYOND CONVENTIONAL INFLAMMATORY MARKERS
… and oxidative conditions are based on markers that are so far considered accurate but may lack specificity and prognostic utility. In the last years’ research, interest has grown about the role of Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of many diseases characterized by …

Early Prostate Cancer, On prognostic markers and predictors of treatment outcome after radical prostatectomy.
… the past ten years. Today’s clinically used prognostic markers are not accurate enough to separate the potentially life-threatening tumours from the insignificant ones in 50-80% of newly diagnosed PCs. Curative treatment of all men with early PC results in substantial overtreatment and …

Roles of the ING1 Epigenetic Regulator in Breast Cancer
… role of ING1 as a therapeutic agent and prognostic marker for breast cancer. We began by asking whether dysregulating epigenetic pathways with different chemical inhibitors could show synergistic effects with ING1 on killing cancer cells. We tested whether ING1 could synergize better with …

Trasduzione del segnale inositide-dipendente nel carcinoma della mammella
… find out whether this enzyme could be a suitable prognostic marker for this neoplasm. Our results show that 83% of cases had aneusomies at the 20p12 level, and the most frequent alteration is a gain in this specific locus. Indeed, we found that this amplification is not related to the invasion …

A multifaceted study of the receptor tyrosine kinase Axl with focus on Renal Cell Carcinoma
… and with great need for proper molecular prognostic markers. With the opportunity of having a large RCC patient material, we could conclude Axl and Gas6 to correlate with patient survival outcome (Paper I). Furthermore, we found Axl expression in the primary tumor, at time of nephrectomy, …

Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancer - Aspects on Epidemiology and Prognostic Markers
… a previous study been found to be an independent prognostic marker for poor outcome in head and neck SCC. This thesis aimed to investigate the epidemiological changes for tongue cancer in the Nordic countries and to compare some possible predictive factors for OOPHSCC. During the period 1960-1994, …

Functional In Vivo Screen Identifies Pygo2 As A Putative Gene to Promote Prostate Cancer
… the results suggest PYGO2 as a potential prognostic marker as well as a therapeutic target. Additional functional characterization of PYGO2 in prostate cancer pathogenesis is warranted and ongoing.</p>

The G protein-coupled receptor GPR30 signalosome - A novel G protein-independent mechanism regulating cAMP signaling and receptor trafficking
… expression in ER+ breast cancer is a favorable prognostic marker for distant-disease-free survival. (4) GPR30 confer some constitutive pro-apoptotic signaling but also readily sensitizes the cells to other apoptotic stimuli. (5) GPR30 directly associates with RAMP3 in-vivo and in-vitro and RAMP3 …

Prediction of the Outcome in Cardiac Arrest Patients Undergoing Hypothermia Using EEG Wavelet Entropy
… The present work aimed at the development of a prognostic marker for the CA patients undergoing hypothermia. A quantitative measure of the complexity of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, called wavelet sub-band entropy, was employed to predict the patients’ outcomes. We hypothesized that the …

Immunhistochemische Analyse des p16-Proteins bei Patientinnen mit primärem Mammakarzinom und seine prognostische Relevanz
… and the results were compared with established prognostic parameters. In the univariate survival analysis we first demonstrated the significant association of the patients survival time with histologic staging (pTMN =0,0005, pN = 0,0005, pT = 0,0141, pM = 0,0081) and with histologic grade (p = …

Verlauf der PCT-Blutkonzentrationen während und nach Herzoperationen mit extrakorporaler Zirkulation bei Kindern
… to these results, PCT can not serve as a prognostic marker for children undergoing heart surgery. In further clinical and experimental studies the place of PCT synthesis as well as the cells which synthesise PCT after EKK must be elucidated.

CD200: A Novel Therapeutic Target for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
… disease, inferring that sCD200 may be a novel prognostic marker for CLL. The in vivo function of sCD200 was investigated for its ability to support engraftment of CLL splenocytes in NOD.SCID mice. Infusion of sCD200hi CLL plasma, but not sCD200lo normal plasma, enhanced engraftment of …

Understanding Acquired Resistance to Lapatinib In Breast Cancer Cells
… Expression levels of ErbB2 are used as a prognostic marker for Lapatinib response; however, even among breast tumor cell lines that express similar levels of ErbB2 there is marked difference in their proliferative responses to Lapatinib. To understand the mechanisms of acquired resistance, …
