  2. 1. Manipulation of potassium ion fluxes to induce apoptosis in lung cancer cells

    Author : Britta Andersson; Kjell Grankvist; Parviz Behnam-Motlagh; Roger Henriksson; Ola Brodin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Apoptosis; Cisplatin; Intracellular K content; Mesothelioma; Na K ATPase pump; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Apoptosis is a special form of cell death that if non-functional may lead to diseases such as cancer. A reduction of the intracellular potassium ion (K+) content is necessary for activating enzymes important for the execution of apoptosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cisplatin-resistance and cell death in malignant pleural mesothelioma cells

    Author : Veronica Janson; Kjell Grankvist; Roger Henriksson; Parviz Behnam-Motlagh; Anders Johansson; Boris Zhivotovsky; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; apoptosis; BH3-only proteins; caspase; cell morphology; potassium transport; protein kinase B PKB Akt ; signalling pathways; time; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, treatment-resistant tumour. Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II)) is the best single-agent chemotherapy for MPM, but platinum-based combination therapies give the best overall response rates. However, cisplatin use is limited by resistance and severe side effects. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bacterial toxins for cancer treatment
