To test the effectiveness of this system, we applied this approach to express simultaneously two different siRNA duplexes that specifically target MAT2A and MAT2betagenes of hepatocelluar carcinoma respectively in HepG2 cell. Results indicated that dual siRNA could simultaneously inhibit the expression of MAT2A and MAT2betagene by 89.5% and 97.8% respectively, In addition, dual siRNA molecules were able to significantly suppress growth of hepatocelluar carcinoma cell in vitro as well as induce apoptosis which was involved in arrest cell cycle at the G1/ S checkpoint and the expressions of ...

21 Nov 2008 at 5:33pm Diets high in saturated fat appear to increase the risk of cancer of the small intestine, a study shows. 20 Nov 2008 at 6:09pm Some advanced lung cancer patients already treated with chemotherapy might be able to skip some of the bad side effects of another series of chemo by taking a pill instead. 17 Nov 2008 at 10:53am If breast cancer runs in the family, women can be at high risk even if they test free of the disease's most common gene mutations, sobering new research shows. 17 Nov 2008 at 4:35pm Tiny sacs released from tumor cells and circulating in the blood carry genetic information about the tumor, offering a new way to track and treat the cancer, U.S. researchers said. 16 Nov 2008 at 12:56pm Men who took vitamin C or E supplements were no more or less likely to develop cancer than those given a placebo, indicating the antioxidants don't prevent the disease, researchers said. 13 Nov 2008 at 5:42pm A small fragment of genetic material may mean the difference between an easily treated local tumor and an aggressive cancer that spreads throughout the body, researchers said. 13 Nov 2008 at 12:03pm
13 Nov 2008 at 12:28pm For the first time, an expensive vaccine aimed at preventing cervical cancer in women has proven successful at preventing a disease in men, according to a new study. 12 Nov 2008 at 12:23pm Scientists have pinpointed the molecular on-off switch that the powerful drug tamoxifen uses to attack breast cancer and which prevents it from working in some women. 6 Nov 2008 at 10:07am In a puzzling twist, women who have a history of migraine headaches are far less likely to develop breast cancer than other women, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. 5 Nov 2008 at 4:44pm Scientists for the first time have decoded the entire genome of a cancer patient, identifying a series of genes never before linked to a type of white blood cell cancer. 5 Nov 2008 at 10:26am Vitamin B supplements do not appear to protect against cancer as some previous research had suggested, according to a U.S. study. 3 Nov 2008 at 11:57am HPV caused 25,000 cases of cancer in the U.S. between 1998 and 2003, including not only cervical cancer but also anal and mouth cancers, the CDC reported on Monday. 2 Nov 2008 at 2:01pm An international research team has identified two genetic variations that appear to increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer by up to 60 percent. 30 Oct 2008 at 10:16am Hot flushes, night sweats or painful joints may be good news for women taking hormone-based drugs for breast cancer — it may mean their tumors are less likely to return, researchers said on Thursday. |
21 Nov 2008 at 1:00pm A man from Banbury near Oxford, England, said his dog sniffed out his skin cancer, reminiscent of reports of trials that have shown dogs can detect cancer, in some cases even when screening tests can't. Chris Tuffrey told the BBC yesterday that his pet Rottweiler, called Beamish, kept nuzzling and licking him and trying to get him to lift his arm. 21 Nov 2008 at 7:00am The American Cancer Society - the nation's leading voluntary health organization and largest non-governmental funder of cancer research and discovery - will present its highest honor, the Medal of Honor, to four Americans who have made outstanding contributions to the fight against cancer. This year's winners, who will receive their awards at a ceremony during the American Cancer Society's annual meeting in New York City, are: The Honorable Edward M. 21 Nov 2008 at 6:00am The DNA in our cells is constantly under assault from oxygen, the sun's radiation and environmental stresses. Most of the time, our cells can repair the damage before it gets copied into a permanent mutation that could lead to cancer. Adding a wrinkle to our understanding of how cancers begin, scientists have found that cells can turn on tumor-promoting growth circuits as a result of misreading damaged DNA without copying it: a process called "transcriptional mutagenesis. 21 Nov 2008 at 6:00am A team of researchers at Duke University Medical Center and the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) has found that lactic acid is an important energy source for tumor cells. In further experiments, they discovered a new way to destroy the most hard-to-kill, dangerous tumor cells by preventing them from delivering lactic acid. 21 Nov 2008 at 5:00am Scientists have new insight into the response of human skin to radiation and what drives the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. The research, published by Cell Press in the November 21st issue of the journal Molecular Cell, may be useful in the design of new strategies for prevention of malignant melanoma. The process of tanning involves synthesis of the pigment melanin by skin cells known as melanocytes. 21 Nov 2008 at 4:00am Gefitnib is as effective a second-line treatment as docetaxel for patients with non-small cell* lung cancer. The INTEREST study, published in an Article in this week's edition of The Lancet, thus establishes gefitinib as a valid treatment option for people with this condition. The study was written by Dr Edward Kim, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA and colleagues. 21 Nov 2008 at 3:00am For breast cancer patients who underwent a mastectomy who undergo radiation therapy after immediate breast reconstruction, autologous tissue reconstruction provides fewer long-term complications and better cosmetic results than tissue expander and implant reconstruction, according to a study in the November issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology. 21 Nov 2008 at 2:00am Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. announced the submission of a new drug application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for trabectedin when administered in combination with DOXIL(R) (doxorubicin HCI liposome injection)for the treatment of women with relapsed ovarian cancer (ROC). If approved, trabectedin combined with DOXIL will provide a new, non-platinum treatment option for these patients in the United States. 21 Nov 2008 at 2:00am Olivier Delattre's team (Inserm Unit 830 "Genetics and Biology of Cancer") of the Institut Curie reveal in an article in the 16 October issue of Nature that alteration of the ALK gene is closely associated with the most frequent solid extracerebral tumor in children neuroblastoma. By studying the familial forms of this tumor, the researchers also conclude that ALK is a gene that predisposes to neuroblastoma. This discovery may allow the development of new treatments in neuroblastomas. 20 Nov 2008 at 11:00am Bovie Medical Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE Alternext US: BVX), a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, today announced the Company received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its SEER tissue resection device intended for initial use in liver oncology surgery. The SEER device uses conductive sintered steel as an electrode for radio frequency (RF) for cutting and coagulation. 20 Nov 2008 at 11:00am ImClone Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: IMCL), a global leader in the development and commercialization of novel antibodies to treat cancer, today announced that its disease-directed randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of IMC-A12 in patients with previously treated HER2-expressing locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer has commenced patient enrollment.

(Nasdaq:GNVC) announced today top-line results of an interim analysis from its ongoing Phase III Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trial with TNFerade™ (PACT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. This interim analysis of overall survival, conducted after the 92nd death (one-third of total expected events), was designed to determine whether the study should continue and took place in the time frame originally estimated. 20 Nov 2008 at 10:00am PharmaMar announced today that Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. has submitted a new drug application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for trabectedin when administered in combination with DOXIL® (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) for the treatment of women with relapsed ovarian cancer (ROC). If approved, trabectedin combined with DOXIL® will provide a new, non-platinum treatment option for these patients in the United States. 20 Nov 2008 at 9:00am Physicians in the U.S. are reporting a higher risk for certain types of cancers -- such as liver, head, neck and lung -- in people living with HIV/AIDS, raising concerns that a cancer epidemic is imminent in the population, the Baltimore Sun reports. According to the Sun, Meredith Shiels, a doctoral candidate at the 20 Nov 2008 at 8:00am A new class of compounds called phosphaplatins can effectively kill ovarian, testicular, head and neck cancer cells with potentially less toxicity than conventional drugs, according to a new study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. |
