  2. 21. Cytochrome P450 2W1 (CYP2W1) as a novel drug target in colon cancer therapy

    Author : Sandra Travica; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cytochrome P450 2W1 (CYP2W1), is a monooxygenase enzyme endogenously expressed in fetal colon and normally silenced after birth. In adult life, the expression of CYP2W1 occurs exclusively in tumor cells yielding high amounts of the enzyme in 30% of human colon cancers. READ MORE

  4. 22. The mode of action of the radiosensitizing analogs metoclopramide and nicotinamide

    Author : Anders Olsson; Lund Wallenberg Neurocentrum; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medical instrumentation; metoclopramide; nicotinamide; apoptosis; radiosensitization; NAD; benzamide; DNA repair; Clinical physics; tomography; radiology; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : This thesis provides the first attempt to study the nicotinamides and benzamides from a mode of action point of veiw. Understanding the effects on DNA repair, cell cycle control (proliferation) and cell death from these agents and in combination with ionizing radiation, provides a new opportunity to logically develop better approaches to sensitize already existing therapies via for example induction of apoptosis or inhibition of DNA repair.

  5. 23. Methods for Preclinical Evaluation of Cytotoxic Drugs : With Special Reference to the Cyanoguanidine CHS 828 and Hollow Fiber Method

    Author : Saadia Bashir Hassan; Elin Lindhagen; Rolf Larsson; Mats O Karlsson; Mustapha Hassan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; CHS 828; in vitro; in vivo; hollow fiber; models; NF-kB; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning;

    Abstract : The novel cyanoguanidine CHS 828 has shown promising antitumor activity in many in vitro and in vivo studies. The long-term 14 days in vitro hollow fiber cultures, where tumor cells from different tumor cell lines were cultured inside semipermeable fibers, were more resistant to CHS 828 and other cytotoxic drugs than the shorter-term 3 days cultures.

  6. 24. Cancer Immunotherapy : A Preclinical Study of Urinary Bladder Cancer

    Author : Christina Ninalga; Thomas Tötterman; Magnus Essand; Timothy Ratliff; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; immunotherapy; bladder carcinoma; cancer; CpG ODNs; Adenoviral vector; CD40L; TRANCE; Lymphotactin; IL2; IL15; Medicin;

    Abstract : Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG), or attenuated Mycobacterium bovis, is the gold standard of immunotherapy in the clinic to treat superficial bladder cancer. However, setbacks remain due to a high recurrence rate, side effects, and BCG-refractory disease. READ MORE

  7. 25. Application of a New Logic to Old Drugs: Angiogenesis Inhibition in Neuroblastoma

    Author : Åsa Svensson; Rolf Christofferson; Per Kogner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell biology; angiogenesis; neuroblastoma; CHS 828; digoxin; combination treatment; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid cancers of early childhood. In Sweden, approximately 10-15 cases occur annually. The overall five-year neuroblastoma survival in Europe is approximately 45%. Since cancer treatment involves drugs with risks of side effects in the growing child, there is a need for more effective and less toxic drugs. READ MORE
