Abstract

Signal transduction pathways shared by different autocrine growth factors may provide an efficient approach to accomplish clinically significant control of lung cancer growth. In this study, we demonstrate that two autocrine growth factors activate 5-lipoxygenase action of the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway in lung cancer cell lines. Both growth factors increased the production of 5(S)-hydrooxyeicosa-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-tetraeno ic acid (5-HETE), a major early 5-lipoxygenase metabolic product. Exogenously added 5-HETE stimulated lung cancer cell growth in vitro. Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase metabolism by selective antagonists resulted in significant growth reduction for a number of lung cancer cell lines. Primary clinical specimens and lung cancer cell lines express the message for the 5-lipoxygenase enzymes responsible for the generation of active metabolites. In vivo evaluation demonstrated that interruption of 5-lipoxygenase signaling resulted in enhanced levels of programmed cell death. These findings demonstrate that 5-lipoxygenase activation is involved with growth factor-mediated growth stimulation for lung cancer cell lines. Pharmacological intervention with lipoxygenase inhibitors may be an important new clinical strateg...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
