Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common cancer occurring primarily in East Asia and Africa. The high rate of recurrence and metastasis of NPC continuously endangers the health of patients. The present study aimed to identify the underlying mechanisms involved in the progression of NPC and provide experimental basis to develop a novel and efficient agent against NPC. The present study measured the expression level of tripartite motif containing 24 (TRIM24) in tumor tissues from NPC patients using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Subsequently, Cell Counting kit‑8 and flow cytometry were used to detect the cell proliferation and apoptosis of NPC cell lines HONE1 and CNE1 cells where the TRIM24 gene was knocked‑down with small interfering RNA (siRNA). Further, caspase kits and western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of apoptosis and angiogenesis‑associated proteins. The present study detected a higher expression level of TRIM24 in tumor tissues and NPC cell lines and lower cell viability and higher apoptotic rate were observed when TRIM24 was silenced. Meanwhile, upregulated caspase‑3 and caspase‑9 indicated induced cell apoptosis in HONE1 and CNE1 cells following the treatment with ...Continue Reading

Angiogenesis Inhibitors to Treat Cancer

Cancer treatments including angiogenesis inhibitors prevent tumor cells from receiving nutrients and oxygen. Here is the latest research on angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

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

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.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.
