Effect of Survivin Down-Regulation by Egr1-Survivin shRNA Combined with Radiotherapy on Radiosensitivity of Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: This study is to investigate the effect of survivin down-regulation by Egr1-survivin shRNA combined with radiotherapy on the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ECA109 and KYSE150 cells. ECA109 and KYSE150 cells were transfected with Egr1-survivin shRNA, and then...

Human esophageal fibroblast-derived exosomal miR-21 reduced the cisplatin sensitivity to esophageal carcinoma EC9706 cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (10), 2021
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of human esophageal fibroblast-derived exosomal miR-21 on cisplatin sensitivity against esophageal squamous EC9706 cells. EC9706 cells were co-cultured indirectly with human esophageal fibroblasts (HEF) or miR-21 mimics transfected-HEF in the tran...

MET overexpression and intratumor heterogeneity in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (8), 2021
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is among the ten most frequent and deadly cancers, without effective therapies for most patients. More recently, drugs targeting deregulated growth factor signaling receptors have been developed, such as HGF-MET targeted therapy. We assessed MET and HGF genetic a...

Long non-coding RNA KCNQ1 overlapping transcript 1 promotes the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by adsorbing microRNA-133b

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVE: The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1 overlapping transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) exerts vital regulatory functions in diverse tumors. However, the biological function of KCNQ1OT1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. METHODS: KCNQ1OT1 expression was detected in ESCC tissues ...

Regulação da expressão das DNA metiltransferases pelas proteínas p53 e Sp1 em carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago

O câncer de esôfago (CE) é um tumor altamente frequente e letal, correspondendo ao oitavo lugar em incidência e sexto em letalidade, dentro todos os tipos de tumores. O subtipo histopatológico mais frequente de CE é o carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago (CEE) que corresponde a aproximadamente 80% do...
