Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) induces c-fos expression in LNCaP prostate cancer cells through a mechanism that involves Ca2+ signalling. Implications in angiogenesis and neuroendocrine differentiation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on intracellular Ca(2+) levels and its relationship with the expression of c-fos and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as well as with neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation were investigated in human prostate LNCaP cells. VIP induced the

Vasoactive intestinal peptide behaves as a pro-metastatic factor in human prostate cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND There is little known on the involvement of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the metastatic cascade of human prostate cancer, that is, cell proliferation, cell-cell adhesion, extracellular-matrix degradation, and migration/invasion. Here we evaluated the expression of related

Somatostatin and vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors in human mesenchymal tumors: in vitro identification.

Only registered users can translate articles

Somatostatin and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have been shown to be of diagnostic and therapeutic interest in several types of human epithelial tumors expressing the respective receptor. The present study evaluates the presence of somatostatin and VIP receptors in 64 primary or metastatic

In vitro identification of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors in human tumors: implications for tumor imaging.

Only registered users can translate articles

In vitro receptor measurements in tumors were performed to evaluate the potential of the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor (VIP-R) as an imaging tool in human cancer. METHODS Three hundred thirty-nine human tumors were investigated for their VIP-R content by in vitro receptor autoradiography on

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and VIP receptors: gene expression and growth modulation in medulloblastoma and other central primitive neuroectodermal tumors of childhood.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuromodulator and growth regulator in the developing nervous system. We analyzed 10 primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) cell lines, 29 central PNET (cPNET) and 17 tumors of the Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral PNET family (ESFT) using reverse

Pharmacology, molecular identification and functional characteristics of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors in human breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

High-performance liquid chromatography-purified 125I-vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) bound to T-47D human breast cancer cells in a specific, saturable, and reversible manner. Scatchard plots were compatible with the presence of one class of VIP receptors with high affinity (Kd = 4.5 X 10(-10) M

A lipophilic vasoactive intestinal peptide analog enhances the antiproliferative effect of chemotherapeutic agents on cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is one of several small neuropeptides that affect cancer growth. A lipophilic VIP analog, stearyl-Nle(17)-neuroten-sin(6-11)VIP(7-28) (SNH) that inhibited lung carcinoma growth has been described previously. The experiments performed were clonogenic

Intractable and dramatic diarrhea in liver transplantation recipient with vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor after split liver transplantation: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Diarrhea after liver transplantation is a common complication. Vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor (VIPoma) is a rare cause of watery diarrhea; 80% of such tumors occur in the pancreas, but it is rare in liver. Hypersecretion of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide can stimulate intestinal

Radiosynthesis of 18F-(R8,15,21, L17)-vasoactive intestinal peptide and preliminary evaluation in mice bearing C26 colorectal tumours.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Radiolabelled vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and its analogues have shown their potential as imaging agents for diagnosing tumours expressing VIP receptor. However, the fast proteolytic degradation in vivo has limited their clinical use. OBJECTIVE To prepare the 18F-labelled

Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors: a molecular target in breast and lung cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors are present in the normal brain as well as periphery, and cancer cells. Three major types of VIP receptors include the VPAC(1), VPAC(2) and PAC(1) receptors. VPAC(1) receptors are present in high densities on human lung and breast cancer cells lines and

Pre-clinical study on tumor vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor scintigraphy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To develop a tumor imaging agent for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VPAC) receptor and evaluate its biological activity and pharmacokinetics of radiolabeled peptide. METHODS VIP(28) was modified at the carboxyl terminal by the addition of His-tag which was the chelating site of (99m)Tc(I)

Hypoxia regulation of expression and angiogenic effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and VIP receptors in LNCaP prostate cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a main factor promoting neovascularization (angiogenesis) of solid tumours as prostate carcinoma. Hypoxia stimulates VEGF gene expression by activating the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1alpha). In the present study, the hypoxia-mimicking agent Ni(2+)

Comparison of an 18F labeled derivative of vasoactive intestinal peptide and 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose in nude mice bearing breast cancer xenografts.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE A 18fluorine-labeled derivative of vasoactive intestinal peptide [18F- Arg,Arg VIP(18F-dVIP)] was evaluated as a potential imaging agent for breast cancer by comparison with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) using standard ex vivo determinations and small animal position emission

Expression of vasoactive intestinal peptide and functional VIP receptors in human prostate cancer: antagonistic action of a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) functions as a mitogenic agent in the human prostate gland acting by autocrine/paracrine mechanisms. Here we extend knowledge on the VIP system (expression of VIP and VIP receptors, functionality of VIP receptors) at this level by analyzing the differences between

Vasoactive intestinal peptide induces cyclooxygenase-2 expression through nuclear factor-kappaB in human prostate cell lines Differential time-dependent responses in cancer progression.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression was analyzed in human prostate non-neoplastic (RWPE-1) as well as cancer androgen-dependent (LNCaP) and independent (PC3) cells. The three cell lines expressed VIP mRNA and VIP peptide, as measured by RT-PCR and
