The Tumor Suppressor MicroRNA-1 Exhibits Restricted Inhibition of Proliferation of Ovarian Cancer Cells.

Background: MicroRNAs are able to control vital tumor biological processes, such as proliferation, tissue transformation and cell migration, as well as apoptosis. One of the micro RNAs, namely miR-1, has been classified as a tumor suppressor, however, preliminary data did not confirm this finding in ovarian cancer (OC) cells. This study examined the impact of miR-1 on OC cell growth.

Drug-induced Modulation of Heat Shock Protein HSPB1 in an Ovarian Cancer Cell Model.

Background: Heat-shock protein HSPB1 (alternative name HSP27) plays a pivotal role in cell survival pathways, apoptosis, metastasis and has been frequently linked to treatment resistance in ovarian cancer (OC) and other malignancies. Characteristic HSPB1 induction in different solid tumors is often caused by cytotoxic agents.

Materials And Methods: An in vitro OC cell model system was established to characterize resistance mechanisms during chemotherapy.

Multivariate dynamic prediction of ischemic infarction and tissue salvage as a function of time and degree of recanalization.

Benefit of endovascular recanalization beyond established treatment time windows likely exists in select stroke patients. However, there is currently no imaging model that predicts infarction adjusting for elapsed time between the pathologic snapshot of admission imaging until endovascular recanalization. We trained and cross validated a multivariate generalized linear model (GLM) that uses computer tomography perfusion and clinical data to quantify patient-specific dynamic change of tissue infarction depending on degree and time of recanalization.
