Published: February 2007

Objective: To establish an subcutaneous xenotransplanted tumor model of human ameloblastoma in nude mice.

Methods: Ameloblastoma cells were absorbed by primary culture, repeat attachment and pancreas proteolytic enzyme were both used to purify them. Then, the purified cells were implanted subcutaneously into the nude mice. The specimens were respectively investigated by microscope in different spots after implanting.

Results: Ameloblastoma cells can survive in all of the 8 nude mice. The xenograft can be found on 23 days after implanting. The rate of successful inocutation is 25%. The subcutaneously xenotransplanted tumor cells can be found with microscope in the inter-muscle tissues of nude mice.

Conclusion: The subcutaneously xenotransplanted tumor model of human ameloblastoma in nude mice was successfully established and it may benefit to further studies on this tumor.

Purpose: Oxymatrine has potent anti-cancer activity, but its exact mechanism in liver cancer remains elusive. The present study was designated to explore oxymatrine's effect and the potential mechanism on Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and ferroptosis in liver cancer.

Methods: Oxymatrine's influence on PD-L1 expression and ferroptosis-related proteins in liver cancer cells was explored in vitro and in vivo utilizing Western blotting, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, ELISA, H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, as well as detection of Fe, ROS, and MDA.

Targeting Tn Antigen Suppresses Aberrant O-Glycosylation-Elicited Metastasis in Breast Cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the Tn antigen, an abnormal sugar molecule often found in breast cancer, and its relationship to cancer spread (metastasis) and patient outcomes.
  • - Researchers discovered that Tn antigen is commonly present in breast cancer tissues, especially in metastatic areas, and its expression is linked to more advanced disease and lower survival rates.
  • - Targeting the Tn antigen in breast cancer cells showed promise in reducing their ability to invade and spread, suggesting it could be an effective therapeutic target for treating aggressive breast cancer.

Reciprocal inhibition of NOTCH and SOX2 shapes tumor cell plasticity and therapeutic escape in triple-negative breast cancer.

Cancer cell plasticity contributes significantly to the failure of chemo- and targeted therapies in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Molecular mechanisms of therapy-induced tumor cell plasticity and associated resistance are largely unknown. Using a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we investigated escape mechanisms of NOTCH-driven TNBC treated with a gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) and identified SOX2 as a target of resistance to Notch inhibition.

Monitoring for PERV Following Xenotransplantation.

Institute of Virology, Free University Berlin, Berlin, Germany.

Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs. PERV-A, PERV-B and PERV-C can be released as infectious virus particles and PERV-A and PERV-B can infect human cells in culture. PERV-C does not infect human cells, but high-titer recombinant PERV-A/C can infect them.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a subpopulation of cancer cells that are believed to initiate and drive cancer progression. In animal models, xenotransplanted CSCs have demonstrated the ability to produce tumors. Since their initial isolation in blood cancers, CSCs have been identified in various solid human cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
