Abstract AtPUB18 and AtPUB19 are homologous U-box E3 ubiquitin ligases in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). is a negative regulator of abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated drought responses, whereas the role responses unknown. Here, loss-of-function overexpression tests identified as ABA-mediated stomatal closure water stress responses. The atpub18-2atpub19-3 double mutant line displayed more sensitivity to ABA enhanced tolerance than each single plant; therefore, agonistic. Stomatal was...
The medical records of 61 dogs with MCT at high risk for metastasis that were treated prednisone and VBL following excision +/- radiation therapy reviewed, median disease-free interval (DFI), overall survival time (OS) prognostic factors assessed. Adverse effects, mostly mild, noted in 26% patients, usually after the first dose. 6.5% experienced severe neutropenia. DFI was 1305 days, OS not reached, 65% alive 3 years. 100% "high-risk" grade II III 1374 days. Histologic grade, location...

Dogs received premedication antihistimines and corticosteroids reduce hypersensitivity reactions. However, 64% the still experienced allergic Six (24%) had grade or 4 neutropenia, 6 required hospitalization (12%) died sepsis. Five (20%) partial response (osteosarcoma [2 dogs] mammary carcinoma histiocytosis [1 dog]) for median duration 53...
Background:Epitheliotropic lymphoma (ELSA) is an uncommon cutaneous canine malignancy of T lymphocytes. A consensus regarding the therapeutic standard care lacking, warranting evaluation chemotherapeutic agents traditionally employed against nodal in treatment ELSA.

Canine oral melanoma (OM) is an aggressive cancer with a high rate of metastasis. Surgery and/or radiotherapy (RT) are effective local treatments, yet many dogs succumb to distant Immunotherapy represents attractive strategy for this potentially immunogenic tumor. The objective multi-institutional retrospective study was examine the clinical outcome OM treated ONCEPT vaccine. Most also underwent surgery RT (8 Gy × four weekly fractions). Dogs metastasis at diagnosis and those receiving...
Abstract The medical records of 15 dogs with anal sac adenocarcinoma (ASAC) treated concurrent curative‐intent radiotherapy and mitoxantrone (MX) after surgical removal the primary tumour were reviewed retrospectively. Radiation was prescribed at daily fractions 3.2 Gy for a total dose 48 Gy. MX given intravenously dosage 5 mg m −2 every 3 weeks five treatment sessions. Twelve received pelvic irradiation to include regional lymph nodes (LNs) three radiation only perineum. At time diagnosis,...

Canine malignant melanoma provides a clinically relevant, large animal parallel patient population to study the GD2-reactive hu14.18-IL-2 immunocytokine as it is similar human and expresses GD2. The objectives of this were evaluate safety, radiation fractionation, identify informative biomarkers an in-situ tumor vaccine involving local therapy plus intratumoral–immunocytokine in tumor-bearing dogs. Twelve dogs (six dogs/arm) with locally advanced or metastatic randomized receive single 8 Gy...
Dysregulation of platelet‐derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) may play a role in feline injection‐site sarcoma (ISS) cell and viability. Masitinib, tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for treatment canine mast tumours, is highly selective the PDGFR signalling pathway offer new therapeutic approach this disease. The vitro effects masitinib on growth, apoptosis two novel ISS lines were investigated. expression was confirmed by Western blot derived from primary tumour (JB) corresponding,...
Abstract Failure rate and site are not well defined in localized sinonasal lymphoma cats treated with radiotherapy. In this study, we describe (a) failure pattern, (b) outcome, (c) influence of previously reported prognostic variables on the outcome suspected lymphoma. multi‐institutional retrospective included 51 single‐modality Cats were irradiated using 10x4.2Gy (n = 32), 12x3Gy 11) or 5x6Gy 8). Regional lymph nodes prophylactically 24/51 (47.1%). Twenty‐five (49.0%) developed progressive...
Rationale Murine syngeneic tumor models have revealed efficacious systemic antitumor responses following primary in situ vaccination combined with targeted radionuclide therapy to secondary or metastatic tumors. Here we present studies on the safety and feasibility of this approach a relevant translational companion dog model (n = 17 dogs) advanced cancer. Methods The three component combination immuno-radiotherapy were employed either separately dogs stage In was achieved through...
This study describes the development of an human granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor DNA cationic-lipid complexed autologous tumour cell vaccine (hGM-CSF CLDC ATCV) and its implementation, following a chemotherapy treatment protocol, in randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial pet dogs with naturally occurring lymphoma. We hypothesized that use this would result antitumour immune response leading to improved first remission duration overall survival B-cell...
Abstract Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice for non‐resectable canine thyroid carcinoma. High tumor response rates and median survival times 2 years or longer have been previously reported with conventionally fractionated hypofractionated protocols, even in dogs distant metastasis. The objective this retrospective, descriptive, case series study was to evaluate clinical outcomes carcinoma irradiated palliative intent using radiotherapy at our institution. Medical records 20 treated...
Contouring variability is a significant barrier to the accurate delivery and reporting of radiation therapy. The aim this descriptive study was determine variation in contouring targets organs at risk by participants within our institution.
