Celecoxib: Antiangiogenic and Antitumoral Action

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Angiogenesis, a process by which new blood vessels are generated from pre-existing ones, is significantly compromised in tumor development, given that due to the nutritional need of tumor cells, pro-angiogenic signals will be generated to promote this process and thus receive the oxygen and nutr...

Bilateral tractional retinal detachment in hemoglobin SC disease patient

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 83 (), 2024
ABSTRACT A 36-year-old black male presented with a progressive loss of visual acuity in both eyes for 7 years. He had a history of tractional retinal detachment in the right eye and vitreous hemorrhage followed by retinal detachment in the left eye. He denied any systemic illness, trauma, or drug abuse. ...

RGD peptide inhibits tumor growth by affecting angiogenesis related signaling pathway of laryngeal cancer stem cells

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: This study is to investigate the role and mechanism of RGD peptide in laryngeal cancer stem cells (CSCs). Laryngeal cancer CD133+Hep-2 CSCs were sorted by flow cytometry. RGD peptide was co-cultured with sorted laryngeal CSCs. Cell proliferation was detected with CCK-8 assay. The mRNA levels of ...

Tissue factor expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma: association with angiogenesis and clinical and pathological aspects

Introduction: Tissue factor (TF) expression has been described in various neoplasms and was correlated with angiogenesis and metastases. Objectives: To describe TF expression in colorectal cancers, correlating it with microvessel density and clinical and pathological variables. Methods: Immunohistochemis...

tiRNA-Val promotes angiogenesis via Sirt1-Hif-1α axis in mice with diabetic retinopathy

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a specific microvascular complication arising from diabetes, and its pathogenesis is not completely understood. tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs), a new type of small noncoding RNA generated by specific cleavage of tRNAs, has become a promising target for ...

Investigation of effect of paclitaxel on netrin 1 and factor 8 in Ehrlich solid tumors

Int. j. morphol; 39 (2), 2021
SUMMARY: Cancer known as a malignant tumor, is a class of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. The Ehrlich tumor is a mammary adenocarcinoma of mice developed in solid and ascitic forms. This study was aimed to investigate the effects ...

Evaluation of HIF-1α and VEGF-A expression in radiation-induced cystitis: A case-control study

Int. braz. j. urol; 47 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT The standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (CC) is chemoradiotherapy. Once the bladder receives part of the radiation, a typical inflammatory condition that configures radiation-induced cystitis may develop. Chronic radiation-induced cystitis is commonly characterized by the bla...

An epidermal growth factor motif of developmental endothelial locus 1 protein inhibits efficient angiogenesis in explanted squamous cell carcinoma in vivo

Rev. invest. clín; 73 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: Cancer gene therapy using a nonviral vector is expected to be repeatable, safe, and inexpensive, and to have long-term effectiveness. Gene therapy using the E3 and C1 (E3C1) domain of developmental endothelial locus-1 (Del1) has been shown to improve prognosis in a mouse transplante...

Caveolin-1 promotes tumor cell proliferation and vasculogenic mimicry formation in human glioma

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (10), 2021
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) plays an important role in human glioma progression and resistance to antiangiogenic therapy as a compensatory neovascularization mechanism in malignant tumors. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) has been found to contribute to VM formation. However, it remains largely unknown whether Cav-1 exp...

Malformación arteriovenosa de alto flujo en un adulto joven: reporte de caso

MedUNAB; 24 (1), 2021
Introducción. Las malformaciones arteriovenosas son lesiones relativamente raras e infrecuentes. Se caracterizan por presentar un aumento anormal en el número de vasos sanguíneos como consecuencia de un defecto en el desarrollo vascular. Constituyen un desafío diagnóstico y terapéutico para el méd...
