The proprotein convertase furin is required to maintain viability of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Success of current therapies is still limited and outcome is particularly poor for metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS). We previously identified the proprotein convertase furin as potential target for specific drug

[5-fluorouracil inhibits bacterial collagenase and the collagenolytic system of a human rhabdomyosarcoma].

Only registered users can translate articles

Protease inhibitory activity of eight cytostatic drugs on 5 proteases was tested by applying an immunoelectrophoretic system, a rhabdomyosarcoma's collagenolytic activity was investigated and inhibition studies were performed. We found 5-fluorouracil stopping collagenolytic activity of clostridial

TGF-beta autocrine loop regulates cell growth and myogenic differentiation in human rhabdomyosarcoma cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF) is a well-known inhibitor of myogenic differentiation as well as an autocrine product of rhabdomyosarcoma cells. We studied the role of the TGF-beta autocrine loop in regulating growth and myogenic differentiation in the human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line, RD. We

A rapid method for purification of homogeneous Legionella pneumophila cytotoxic protease using fast protein liquid chromatography.

Only registered users can translate articles

A purification method was developed to isolate Legionella pneumophila cytotoxic protease in a form suitable for biological assays. Culture supernatant of a clinical isolate of L. pneumophila, Knoxville 1 strain, was used as the starting material. The protease was purified by FPLC on a Mono Q column

Thrombin regulates the metastatic potential of human rhabdomyosarcoma cells: distinct role of PAR1 and PAR3 signaling.

Only registered users can translate articles

We observed that human rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells highly express a tissue factor that promotes thrombin formation, which indirectly and directly affects RMS progression. First, we found that thrombin activates platelets to generate microvesicles (PMV), which transfer to RMS cells' alpha2beta3

Biochemical characterization of recombinant Enterovirus 71 3C protease with fluorogenic model peptide substrates and development of a biochemical assay.

Only registered users can translate articles

Enterovirus 71 (EV71), a primary pathogen of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), affects primarily infants and children. Currently, there are no effective drugs against HFMD. EV71 3C protease performs multiple tasks in the viral replication, which makes it an ideal antiviral target. We synthesized

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with massive disseminated intravascular coagulopathy treated with systemic chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

It is uncommon for pediatric patients with rhabdomyosarcoma to present with clinical and/or laboratory features of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We report a case of metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with severe bleeding because of DIC in a 13-year-old boy. He experienced

Luteoloside Acts as 3C Protease Inhibitor of Enterovirus 71 In Vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

Luteoloside is a member of the flavonoids family that exhibits several bioactivities including anti-microbial and anti-cancer activities. However, the antiviral activity of luteoloside against enterovirus 71 (EV71) and the potential mechanism(s) responsible for this effect remain unknown. In this

Expression and activity of vascular endothelial growth factor and metalloproteinases in alveolar and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant tumour of skeletal muscle origin which includes two major histological subtypes: alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), the more aggressive, and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). In order to establish whether the higher metastatic potential of ARMS cells may depend

The Transcriptome of Rhabdomyosarcoma Cells Infected with Cytolytic and Non-Cytolytic Variants of Coxsackievirus B2 Ohio-1.

Only registered users can translate articles

The transcriptomes of cells infected with lytic and non-lytic variants of coxsackievirus B2 Ohio-1 (CVB2O) were analyzed using next generation sequencing. This approach was selected with the purpose of elucidating the effects of lytic and non-lytic viruses on host cell transcription. Total RNA was

The human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line TE671--Towards an innovative production platform for glycosylated biopharmaceuticals.

Only registered users can translate articles

The market of therapeutic glycoproteins (including coagulation factors, antibodies, cytokines and hormones) is one of the profitable, fast-growing and challenging sectors of the biopharmaceutical industry. Although mammalian cell culture is still expensive and technically complex, the ability to

Modulation of u-PA, MMPs and their inhibitors by a novel nutrient mixture in pediatric human sarcoma cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pediatric sarcomas are highly aggressive tumors that are characterized by high levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 secretions that degrade the ECM and basement membrane, allowing cancer cells to spread to distal organs. Proteases play a key role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis by

Calpains: markers of tumor aggressiveness?

Only registered users can translate articles

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) are soft-tissue sarcoma commonly encountered in childhood. RMS cells can acquire invasive behavior and form metastases. The metastatic dissemination implicates many proteases among which are mu-calpain and m-calpain. Study of calpain expression and activity underline the

Serine enzymes released by cultured neoplastic cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Serine proteases or esterases released from cell cultures into the growth medium were converted to radioactive derivatives by active site labeling with tritiated DFP, both in the presence and absence of other competing active site reagents. The individual labeled enzymes were then identified by

Studies of type IV collagenase regulation by hypoxia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recent data suggest that patients with more hypoxic solid tumors are more likely to develop metastases and die. We speculated that upregulation of the metastasis-associated type IV collagenase MMP-9 (gelatinase B) by hypoxia might be correlated with the increased risk of distant failure in patients
