Resistance to cisplatin (DDP) remains a major obstacle in the control of gastric cancer (GC) progression. A previous study revealed that microRNA-21 (miR-21) contributes DDP resistance GC cells via phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway. The aim current was explore mechanisms underlying cytoprotective function miR-21. In this study, DDP-resistant were obtained by continuous exposure human adenocarcinoma increasing concentrations DDP. Western blot analysis used...

Like most of the strategies for cancer immunotherapy, photodynamic therapy-mediated vaccination has shown poor clinical outcomes in application. The aim this study is to offer a glimpse at mechanisms that are responsible failure based on immuno-editing theory and search positive solution. In we found tumor cells were able adapt themselves immune pressure exerted by vaccination. survived exhibited enhanced tumorigenic stem-like phenotypes as well undermined immunogenicity. Viewed whole,...

The pathogenesis of colorectal cancer remains poorly understood. Here, we show that coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 is frequently upregulated in tissues and promotes cell growth vitro vivo. Using bioinformatics-based prediction luciferase reporter system, found post-transcriptionally targeted by microRNA-195-5p cancer. Ectopic expression led to the suppression 3'-untranslated regions activity downregulation endogenous protein cells. Expression analysis verified was...
