Morphological Localization of Apolipoproteins and Their mRNA by Immunocytochemistry and in Situ Nucleic Acid Hybridization
No full textFunctional Analysis of Ebv in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells
No full textA membrane invasion culture system was used to study the ability of EBV to enhance invasion and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. Semi-reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis of matrix proteinases and angiogenic factors from EBV-infected, or EBV-positive (EBV+) , cells demonstrated different degrees of elevated gene expression. In our animal model, EBV+ tumors grew faster and larger than EBV-free, or EBV-negative ( EBV-), tumors and also had clonal EBV terminal repeat sequences. Double- localization of EBV and certain host proteins in EBV+ tumors and biopsy specimens demonstrated that EBV up-regulates host genes only in cells that express those genes but not in cells that do not express them. Double- localization of EBV and host genes in NPC biopsy specimens all showed EBV- tumor cells expressing those host genes. Our data strongly suggest that EBV infection enhances progression of NPC tumor growth. They do not rule out a role for EBV infection in the induction and early promotion of NPC development. Unidentified factors may also enhance NPC tumor growth independent of the effects of EBV
Synthesis and Antitumor Evaluation of Water-Soluble Derivatives of Glyfoline
No full textThree types of water-soluble derivatives of the antitumor agent glyfoline : hydrochloride salts of 6-O-(N,N- dimethylaminoalkyl) glyfoline (Type 1), triethanolamine salts of glyfoline-6-O-alkylcarboxylate (Type 2), and hydrochloride salts of glyfoline-6-O-carbamate (Type 3), were synthesized for evaluation of their antitumor activities. Among these compounds, the triethanolamine salt of 6-O-(3-carboxypropyl)glyfoline (13) showed potent antitumor efficacy in mice bearing nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC) xenograft
