The substance P (SP)/neurokinin (NK)-1 receptor system plays an important role in the development of cancer. No in-depth studies involvement this breast cancer (BC) have been carried out, and action exerted by drug aprepitant on BC cells is currently unknown. We show human cell lines: i) these express mRNA for NK-1 receptor; ii) they overexpress receptors; iii) involved their viability; iv) SP induces proliferation; v) antagonists block SP-induced mitogen stimulation cells; vi) specific...

Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Aprepitant selective high‑affinity antagonist of the human neurokinin‑1 (NK‑1) receptor (NK1R) with robust antitumor activity. No data exist on presence NK1R osteosarcoma whether this responds to antagonists. Here, we analyzed expression cell line MG-63 western blot analysis PCR found significant both at protein mRNA levels. We further studied growth inhibitory capacity aprepitant other antagonists vitro using an MTS...

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