Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor with poor survival and limited therapeutic options. The non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has been shown to be effective against glioma; however, molecular target mechanism of action CBD in glioma are poorly understood. Here we investigated mechanisms underlying antitumor effect preclinical models human glioma. Our results showed that induced autophagic rather than apoptotic cell death cells. We also mitochondrial...
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a membrane protein on tumor cells that binds to the PD-1 receptor expressed immune cells, leading escape of cells. Yes-associated (YAP) main effector Hippo/YAP signaling pathway, which plays important roles in cancer development. Here we show YAP regulates PD-L1 expression human non-small cell lung (NSCLC) First, investigated and at level 142 NSCLC samples 15 normal samples. In tissue, immunohistochemistry showed positive staining for PD-L1, correlated...

Orchestrated regulation of neuronal migration and morphogenesis is critical for development establishment functional circuits, but its regulatory mechanism incompletely defined. We established analyzed mice with neural-specific knock-out Trio, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor multiple domains. Knock-out showed defective cerebella severe signs ataxia. Mutant had no granule cells in the internal cell layer due to aberrant as well abnormal neurite growth. Trio-deficient reduced extension...
Abstract Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that resistant to current therapy. The poor prognosis of has been associated with elevated Yes‐associated protein (YAP) activity. In this study, we evaluated the effect targeting YAP in mesothelioma. First, comprehensively studied activity five cell lines (211H, H2052, H290, MS‐1 and H2452) one normal mesothelial line (LP9). We found decreased phospho‐YAP ratio consistently increased GTIIC reporter 211H, H2052 H290 compared LP9. same...

Abstract Yes‐associated protein ( YAP ) is a main mediator of the Hippo pathway and promotes cancer development progression in human lung cancer. We sought to determine whether inhibition suppresses metastasis adenocarcinoma murine model. found that metastatic NSCLC cell lines H2030‐BrM3(K‐ras G12C mutation) PC 9‐BrM3 EGFR Δexon19 had significantly decreased p‐ (S127)/ ratio compared parental H2030 (K‐ras 9 cells P < .05). H2030‐BrM3 increased mRNA expression downstream genes CTGF CYR 61...
The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has been implicated in stem cell maintenance and its activation is aberrant several types of cancer including mesothelioma. Protein kinase CK2 affects pathways through the mechanism phosphorylation. mRNA levels CK2α Gli1 were tested by quantitative RT-PCR immunohistochemistry staining mesothelioma samples lines. Down-regulated expression transcriptional activity demonstrated RT-PCR, Western blot luciferase reporter assay. In this study, we show that...
Overcoming temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioma cancer cells remains a major challenge to the effective treatment of disease. Increasing TMZ efficacy for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) is urgently needed because standard chemotherapy protocol adult glioblastoma. O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) overexpression associated resistance, and low MGMT positive response marker therapy. Here, we used 3 cell lines (SF767, U373, LN229), which had different levels sensitivity. We found...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer for which more effective treatments are needed. In this study, strong to moderate staining of MET and ERK5 was detected in 67.1 48% the analyzed 73 human tumors, significant correlation expression identified (P<0.05). We evaluated doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) tumors. Our results showed that 50.7% immunohistochemistry tumors have DCLK1, its significantly correlated with or Also, upregulation DCLK1 poor prognosis MPM patients...
