Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway02:54

Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway

8.6K
The gene encoding the main signaling molecules of the Wnt signaling pathways (the Wnt proteins) was discovered almost four decades ago by Nüsslein-Volhard and Wieschaus. They identified and originally named the gene "wingless" (wg) after a phenotype discovered during their landmark genetic screen in Drosophila for body pattern defects. At around the same time, another researcher named Harold Varmus found that a murine tumor virus activates the mammalian wg homolog, Int-1, which...

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions

4.7K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...

Cancer Prevention

6.0K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.4K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis and recurrence are primary causes of patient mortality.
  • Flavonoids exhibit anticancer properties by inhibiting proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and neovascularization.
  • The anticancer effects and mechanisms of the novel flavonoid GL-V9 in HCC remain largely uncharacterized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the anti-proliferative, anti-invasive, and anti-migratory effects of GL-V9 on HCC cells.
  • To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of GL-V9 action in HCC.

Main Methods:

  • Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assays.
  • Clonogenic, transwell invasion, and cell scratching assays were employed to evaluate cellular growth, invasion, and migration.
  • The study examined the impact of GL-V9 on the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.

Main Results:

  • GL-V9 significantly inhibited HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration.
  • GL-V9 was found to suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in HCC cells.
  • The inhibitory effects of GL-V9 were mediated through the downregulation of the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.

Conclusions:

  • GL-V9 demonstrates potent anti-proliferative, anti-invasive, and anti-migratory activities against HCC cells.
  • GL-V9 exerts its effects by inhibiting the EMT process via the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway.
  • GL-V9 represents a promising novel therapeutic candidate for combating HCC metastasis.
