Abstract

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is typically fatal if untreated. It is characterized by early and widespread metastases, and has the ability to rapidly develop resistance to chemotherapy. Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7), a member of the BMP family of signaling molecules, has been implicated in various types of cancer, particularly prostate cancer and breast cancer. However, there is little knowledge of the function of BMP7 in SCLC. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological function of recombinant human (rh)BMP7 on SCLC cells and the underlying molecular basis for this regulatory mechanism. The effect of rhBMP7 on SCLC cell lines and associated signaling pathways was investigated. Results suggested that rhBMP7 significantly inhibited the proliferation, motility and invasion of SBC-3 and SBC-5 cells. However, rhBMP7 exhibited no effect on the apoptosis of SBC-5 cells, but promoted apoptosis of SBC-3 cells. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis revealed that rhBMP7 was able to increase the proportion of cells in G1 phase and decrease the S phase proportion. Total and membrane BMP receptor (BMPR)IA and BMPRIB were highly expressed in SBC-5 cells, whereas cytoplasmic BMPRIA and BMPRIB expression was higher in SBC-3...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
