Background & Objective: P53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) relate with tumorigenesis, development, and prognosis of malignant tumors. This study was to detect expression of P53 and PCNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissue, and discuss their relation of p53 and PCNA expression with clinical stage, VCA/IgA, EA/IgA, radiation sensibility, and prognosis.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect P53 and PCNA expression in NPC tissue of 80 patients received radiotherapy alone. Relation of P53 and PCNA expression with clinical stage, VCA/IgA, EA/IgA, extinction of nasopharygeal tumor and neck lymph node when radiation dose was 36 Gy, and 5-year survival rate was analyzed by Chi-square test.

Results: Positive rate of P53 in NPC tissues was 92.5%, and that of PCNA was 100%. Expression intensity of PCNA significantly related with extinction of nasopharygeal tumor, and neck lymph node when radiation dose was 36 Gy, but P53 had no significant relation with it. Expression intensities of P53 and PCNA had no significant relation with NPC clinical stage, VCA/IgA, EA/IgA, and 5-year survival rate.

Conclusions: P53 and PCNA relate with NPC occurrence. PCNA relates with NPC radiation sensibility, but P53 doesn't. P53 and PCNA have no relation with NPC clinical stage, VCA/IgA, EA/IgA, and prognosis.

Ovarian cancer represents a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Chemotherapeutic agents are usually employed to treat the patients, and Ruthenium(II)-based compounds have been investigated as possible substitutes for platinum drugs. In this work, we studied three different Ru(II)-phosphine-mercapto complexes (1-3) as potential cytotoxic agents against A2780 and A2780-cisR ovarian cancer cells.

Background: Thyroid carcinoma (TC), the most prevalent endocrine cancer worldwide, has become progressively more common, especially in women. Most TCs are epithelial-derived differentiated TCs, specifically papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Although there are many therapeutic drugs available, curing TC is a difficult task.

Article Synopsis
  • Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication that can affect renal function and oxidative stress, prompting this study on the potential benefits of olive leaf extracts and stem cells.
  • Research involved pregnant rats with induced diabetes to measure various kidney and oxidative stress markers, finding that treatments significantly improved these conditions.
  • Results indicated that both treatments not only reduced harmful substance levels but also promoted cellular regeneration and improved kidney tissue structure, suggesting their effectiveness in managing GDM-related complications.

PF-477736 modulates vascular smooth muscle cells phenotypic transition through Chk1/p53/CD44 pathway.

Tissue Cell

December 2024

Department of Pharmacy, The Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan 410013, China. Electronic address:

Introduction: The phenotypic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a quiescent, contractile type to a secretory phenotype with high proliferation and mobility is a key event in vascular remodeling. PF-477736 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of Chk1 which induces the accumulation of DNA damage by increasing the level of replicative stress, and ultimately inhibiting cell proliferation or causing cell death. Although this compound has been utilized as an anti-tumor drug, its role in vascular remodeling remains unclear.
