Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths for females around the world and many researchers and health organizations are researching ways to fight breast cancer more efficiently (Jemal, Bray, Center, and Ferlay, 2011). Recently, Anosmin-1 has been exposed as a possible target in many different forms of cancer. Anosmin-1 is a cell adhesion protein that is encoded by the KAL1 gene. Anosmin-1 is a component of the extracellular matrix. Its main function is to promote the migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons from the olfactory placode to the hypothalamus. Ansomin-1 is a whey acidic protein domain and it has three fibronectin III domains. Immunohistochemical analysis of epithelial cells and basement membranes have

    1.7 III (b) VEGF: VEGF is also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF) is an endothelial cell specific mitogen in in vitro and is the main factor responsible for vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in a variety of in vivo models. The gene transcripts level of VEGF is stimulated at the time of implantation because process of implantation occurs under hypoxic condition. In rodents, VEGF is involved during embryo–endometrium crosstalk by regulating endothelial cell proliferation and vascular permeability of endothelial cells at implantation sites in rodents (Rabbani and Rogers, 2001; Rockwell et al., 2002). The VEGF’s mRNA and protein expression level has been noticed in endometrial stomal, endothelial, and glandular cells during the mid-secretory stage in the human (Charnock-Jones et al., 1993).…

    In-Vitro: Nucleophosmin Inhibitors

    B6190 Description: IC50: 1.7-4.0 μM for tested cancer cell lines NSC348884 is a nucleophosmin inhibitor. Nucleophosmin is identified as a multifunctional nucleolar phosphoprotein, which is dysregulated in human malignancies resulting in anti-apoptosis and differentiation inhibition. In vitro: NSC348884, which was identified as a putative nucleophosmin small molecular inhibitor, was found to be able to disrupt a hydrophobic pocket that was required for oligomerization, and NSC348884 could also inhibit the cell proliferation in distinct cancer cell lines and disrupt nucleophosmin oligomer formation. Moreover, the treatment of several cancer cell types with NSC348884 could dose-dependently upregulate p53 and also induce apoptosis that correlated with H2AX phosphorylation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage as well as Annexin V. Furthermore, NSC348884 could also synergize doxorubicin cytotoxicity on the viability of cancer cells [1].…

    Cyclin D1 Lab Report

    Summary The overall goal of this experiment was to determine if there is a connection between cyclin D1 amplification and breast cancer therapy resistance. This experiment was motivated by the statistic of forty percent of endocrine therapy breast cancer patients being resistant to the treatment. In some research, it has been thought that the presence of cyclin D1 causes resistance to tamoxifen therapy, while others do not think cyclin D1 is relevant to the efficacy of the treatment. This experiment will further the understanding of this protein and the relativity of it by performing tissue arrays of 147 breast cancer patients.…

    Summary: The Naked Mole Rat

    The naked mole rat and the blind mole rat have developed unique anti-cancer mechanisms compared to other mammals. Mammals typically have several methods, such as inducing apoptosis, releasing cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (bound to CDK complexes) which signal cells to stop within a stage of the cell cycle, and contact inhibition in which cells stop growing once they make contact with each other. These mole rats’ distinct mechanisms modify contact inhibition and apoptosis to achieve the mole rats’ cancer resistance and longevity (Seluanov, et.al., 2009; Gorbunova, et.al., 2012). The anti-cancer mechanism that the naked mole rat is the use of two types of contact inhibition.…

    The sample is then placed back into the centrifuge to isolate cellular contents. Once isolated, the cellular contents are sheared using sonication, the application of sound waves to agitate a media, into fragments between 200-1000 base pairs. Several samples are taken from the lysate and placed back into a centrifuge. The supernatant is collected and transferred to new test tubes. The protein of interest is then selectively enriched through the use of immunoprecipitation by introducing ChIP grade antibodies containing epitope(s) specific to the protein to the samples.…

    That specific protein is one of four fibroblast growth factor receptors, which are related proteins that are involved in important processes. Cell division, regulation of cell growth, formation of blood vessels, the healing of wounds, and embryonic development. The positioning of the proteins outside of the cell allows the FGFR2 gene to interact with those specific growth factors outside the cell while still receiving signals that help the cell respond where it is needed to. When the growth factors and the FGFR2 protein attach, the receptors trigger chemical reactions inside the cell that instruct the cell to undergo certain necessary changes and developments to take on specialized functions. The FGFR2 protein plays a very important role in bone development, mainly during embryonic stages.…

    Comparison Of Parthenolide And STAT

    Parthenolide and STAT: It is previously discussed that the activation of STAT directs to cell proliferation, cell migration, transformation, apoptosis, cellular differentiation, adhesion, fetal development, inflammation, and immune response. In normal homeostasis, STAT tyrosine phosphorylation is short-term, lasting from 30 minutes to several hours, where as in numerous cancer cell lines and primary tumors it is in contrary to that of normal homeostasis. It takes place due to the deregulation of positive effectors of STATs activation, such as upstream tyrosine kinases (JAK, TYK), or repression of negative regulators of STATs phosphorylation, e.g. phosphatases, suppressors of cytokine signaling or protein inhibitors of activated STATs [47, 48].…

    Radiation Therapy: Chemotherapy And Breast Cancer

    ***Chemotherapy is one option for treatment, but doctors often use radiation as well. Radiation is a common treatment that doctors use for all types of cancer, and more than half of people diagnosed with cancer will end up going through radiation at some point (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Radiation is a therapy that is normally used after the surgical removal of the breast cancer to kill any leftover cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to eliminate the cancer cells just like chemotherapy does. Radiation therapy may also use x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to eliminate the cancer cells.…

    Essay On Why I Want To Become A Physician Scientist

    I want to become a physician-scientist because I want to work at the interface between basic science research, which has the power to elucidate new knowledge, and clinical medicine, which has the ability to translate scientific discoveries to a deliverable form that can directly help the patients in need. For three years, I studied the role of tumor microenvironment on breast cancer metastasis in Dr. Semenza’s laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As I studied the role of Hypoxia-inducible factor on integrin expression and subsequent cell motility, I learnt that cancer is a multi-faceted disease that consists of a web of multiple biological mechanisms as well as other arenas of science.

    Breast Cancer Argumentative Essay

    Some can halt the growth of the tumor inside our body; some can prevent its spread etc. Today I would like to highlight the benefits of eating pomegranate and its effects on breast cancer. A normal cell has a tendency to divide as many times and then stop by a programmed cell death (apoptosis) when they are no longer needed; however a cancer cell loses its tendency to stop dividing, to attach to other cells, and to die by apoptosis. One of the reasons of breast cancer is the mutation in some genes in our body which are linked to estrogen exposure. Multiple medical treatments have been used so far which were targeted towards the presence of estrogen(ER), progesterone(PR) and Her2/neu receptors on the cancer cells which were used to predict the prognosis of breast cancer treatment.…
