Growing numbers of studies have shown that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular
diseases. Hyperhomocysteinemia has been found to be negatively associated with the vitamin B group, especially folate and
cobalamin. Because of the relative scarcity of fruits and vegetables in Mongolian foods, and the high cardiovascular diseases
rate in Mongolia, we examined homocysteine level and its relation with atherosclerotic change in middle-aged Mongolian women.
This cross-sectional study included 79 female asymptomatic residents of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Besides analysis of homocysteine
and chemistry tests, participants were interviewed and underwent physical and Doppler ultrasound examination of extracranial
vessels. The mean homocysteine level was 9.87 ± 3.6 μmol/l, and the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were 2.2 μmol/l and 19.9
μmol/l. Participants with abnormal Doppler ultrasound finding had significantly higher homocysteine levels (12.8 ± 4.5 μmol/l
vs 8.7 ± 2.3 μmol/l, P < 0.001) and homocysteine was significantly associated with having atherosclerotic change (odds ratio 2.2, 95% confidence
interval = 1.42–3.49, P < 0.001) after adjustment for age, low-density lipoprotein, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. Hyperhomocysteinemia
was found to be significantly associated with atherosclerotic change in female Mongolian adults. Further studies are necessary
to determine factors associated with homocysteine elevation among the Mongolian population. 相似文献

Despite a number of attempts to improve treatment of ovarian cancer, it remains the most common cause of death from gynecological cancers. Thus, it is very important to identify more effective drugs for treatment and prevention of ovarian cancer. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has been shown to arrest the growth of ovarian carcinoma cells in G0/G1 and to significantly elevate levels of Rb2/p130 protein, a member of the retinoblastoma family of tumor suppressors. As ATRA treatment leads to a significant increase in the amount of Rb2/p130 protein but not mRNA, the elevated levels of Rb2/p130 protein is likely the result of increased stability. In studies to elucidate the mechanism by which ATRA alters Rb2/p130 stability in ovarian cancer cells, it was determined that PP2A, a serine/threonine phosphatase, binds and dephosphorylates Rb2/p130. Dephosphorylated Rb2/p130 exhibits decreased ubiquitination and thus is not degraded by the proteasome. The sites at which PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) interacts with Rb2/p130 have been localized to the NLS in the C-terminus of Rb2/p130. These sites are also involved in the interaction of Rb/p130 with importin beta and importin alpha, members of the nuclear transport machinery. It is known that importin alpha recognizes a NLS on a target protein and importin beta binds the nuclear pore complex. Moreover, it has been shown that the binding of importin alpha to NLS significantly decreases with phosphorylation of NLS. In ATRA-treated ovarian carcinoma cells, PP2A binds to Rb2/p130 and dephosphorylates the NLS of Rb2/p130 leading to the interaction of importin alpha with Rb2/p130. Importin beta then binds to the importin alpha-Rb2/p130 complex, leading to the translocation of the Rb2/p130 to the nucleus where it acts to arrest ovarian cancer cells in G1 and suppress proliferation. 相似文献

Sex disparity in cancer is so far inadequately considered, and components of its basis are rather unknown. We reveal that male versus female pancreatic cancer (PC) patients and mice show shortened survival, more frequent liver metastasis, and elevated hepatic metastasis-promoting gene expression. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) was the secreted factor with the strongest male-biased expression in patient-derived pancreatic tumors. Male-specific up-regulation of systemic TIMP1 was demonstrated in PC mouse models and patients. Using TIMP1-competent and TIMP1-deficient PC mouse models, we established a causal role of TIMP1 in determining shortened survival and increased liver metastasis in males. Observing TIMP1 expression as a risk parameter in males led to identification of a subpopulation exhibiting increased TIMP1 levels (T1HI males) in both primary tumors and blood. T1HI males showed increased risk for liver metastasis development not only in PC but also in colorectal cancer and melanoma. This study reveals a lifestyle-independent sex disparity in liver metastasis and may open new avenues toward precision medicine. 相似文献

High-grade gliomas are devastating brain tumors associated with a mean survival of <50 weeks. Two of the most common genetic changes observed in these tumors are overexpression/mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) vIII and loss of PTEN/MMAC1 expression. To determine whether somatically acquired EGFRvIII expression or Pten loss accelerates high-grade glioma development, we used a previously characterized RasB8 glioma-prone mouse strain, in which these specific genetic changes were focally introduced at 4 weeks of age. We show that both postnatal EGFRvIII expression and Pten inactivation in RasB8 mice potentiate high-grade glioma development. Moreover, we observe a concordant loss of Pten and EGFR overexpression in nearly all high-grade gliomas induced by either EGFRvIII introduction or Pten inactivation. This novel preclinical model of high-grade glioma will be useful in evaluating brain tumor therapies targeted to the pathways specifically dysregulated by EGFR expression or Pten loss. 相似文献

Vitamin A is an essential nutrient important for growth, vision, embryonic development, immune response and reproduction. Various retinoids have been shown to be effective chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive agents for a number of human cancers. Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures found at the end of chromosomes. During cellular division, the telomeres in normal cells shorten progressively and thus, function as a "molecular clock". Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex that extends and maintains telomeres. Activation of telomerase is required for cells to overcome proliferative crisis. Telomerase activation is observed in 90% of human cancers, but not in normal somatic cells. We examined the role of telomerase in mediating the growth suppression of ovarian carcinoma cells by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Using a number of cell lines with varying levels of growth sensitivity to ATRA, we found that cells that exhibit ATRA-dependant suppression of growth also contained significantly reduced telomerase activity. We also observed a reduction in expression of the telomerase components, hTERT and hTR in ATRA treated ovarian carcinoma cells. Our results suggest that one mechanism by which ATRA acid inhibits cancer cell growth is by suppressing telomerase activity, thereby pushing cells to proliferative crisis. 相似文献

Monoclonal rat anti-idiotypic antibody (Ab2) BR3E4 mimicking the colorectal carcinoma (CRC)-associated epitope CO17-1A induced antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses in mice and rabbits. Ab2 BR3E4 was administered in a phase I trial to CRC patients either as intact IgG or as F(ab')(2) coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). There was a trend for the F(ab')(2)-KLH-immunized patients to show higher immune response rates (18/21 and 5/15 patients with anti-anti-idiotypic antibodies and T cells, respectively) than the IgG-immunized patients (15/23 and 3/15 patients positive). Clinical responses were rare in these patients with liver metastases. 相似文献

Targeting the GA733 antigen (also known as CO17-1A, EGP, KS1-4, KSA, Ep-CAM) by monoclonal antibody CO17-1A or anti-idiotypic antibodies mimicking the CO17-1A or GA733 epitope has induced prolonged survival and specific immune responses to the antigen, respectively, in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. In pre-clinical studies in mice and rabbits, recombinant baculovirus-derived GA733-2E antigen was superior to anti-idiotypic antibodies at modulating specific immune responses. Our aim was to evaluate the immunogenicity and potential toxicity of alum-precipitated GA733-2E in a phase I trial in patients with resected CRC or pancreatic cancer. Six patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma and 6 with CRC Dukes' stage A, B or C received between 4 and 7 doses of alum-precipitated GA733-2E at 50, 200 or 800 microg/dose at monthly intervals. Antibody binding to GA733-2E or antigen-positive CRC cells was determined, as were antigen-specific proliferative, cytolytic T-lymphocyte and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses. Six of the 12 patients developed antigen-specific humoral immune responses after immunotherapy, and 8 developed cellular immune responses. The overall immune response rate, including patients with humoral and/or cellular immune responses, was 83%. Median overall survival of the CRC and pancreatic cancer patients was 39.8 and 11.2 months, respectively. Following 18 years of single-epitope targeting of the GA733 antigen, immunization of patients against multiple epitopes of the antigen frequently induces an immune response in the absence of significant toxicity, despite relatively widespread expression of this antigen on normal epithelial cells. 相似文献

Anti-idiotypic antibody and recombinant antigen vaccines in colorectal cancer patients. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The colorectal carcinoma (CRC)-associated GA733 antigen (also known as CO17-1A, KS1-4, KSA or EpCAM) has been the target of a phase II/III randomized trial of passive immunotherapy with monoclonal antibody CO17-1A and phase I active immunotherapy trials with polyclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies mimicking the CO17-1A or GA733 epitope on the antigen. The CO17-1A antigen was molecularly cloned and the extracellular domain expressed in baculovirus (BV) GA733-2E. Whereas, anti-idiotypic antibody mimics a single epitope on the antigen, BV GA733-2E expresses multiple potentially immunogenic epitopes. In animals, the immunogenicity of BV GA733-2E in aluminum hydroxide was superior to that of anti-idiotype in the same adjuvant. Here, we compared the immunogenicity of anti-idiotypic antibody and GA733-2E antigen in CRC patients. These studies indicate that the antigen is superior to the anti-idiotype antibody in inducing humoral and cellular immunity in CRC patients. 相似文献

Two new xanthone glycosides, corymbiferin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and swertiabisxanthone-I 8'-O-beta- d-glucopyranoside (2), were isolated from Gentianella amarella ssp. acuta, along with eight known xanthones: triptexanthoside C, veratriloside, corymbiferin 1-O-glucoside, swertianolin, norswertianolin, swertiabisxanthone-I, bellidin, and bellidifolin, four of them identified for the first time in G. amarella ssp. acuta. The isolation was conducted mainly by centrifugal partition chromatography, and the structures of the isolated compounds were established on the basis of spectrometric data including 2D NMR and mass spectrometry. Xanthones were weakly active against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), except triptexanthoside C, which inhibited AChE with an IC(50) of 13.8 +/- 1.6 microM. Some compounds were active against monoamine oxidases (MAO): bellidin and bellidifolin showed interesting inhibitory activity of MAO A, while swertianolin, the 8-O-glucopyranoside form of bellidifolin, gave 93.6% inhibition of MAO B activity at 10(-5) M. 相似文献
