A study was conducted to determine the toxicity of different dithiocarbamates and of disulfiram. In an experiment showing the cytotoxicity against murine spleen lymphocytes, proline dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and thioproline dithiocarbamate showed the lowest toxicity. Therefore one of them was selected

BACKGROUND This study was aimed to evaluate protective and therapeutic effects of a specific mixture, containing vitamin C, lysine, proline, epigallocatechin gallate and zinc, as well as alpha-1-antitrypsin protein on lung tumorigenesis induced by benzo(a) pyrene [B(a)P] in mice. METHODS Swiss

OBJECTIVE To study the expression of proline-rich Akt-substrate PRAS40 in the cell survival pathway and tumor progression. METHODS The effects of three key kinase inhibitors on PRAS40 activity in the cell survival pathway, serum withdrawal, H(2)O(2) and overexpression of Akt were tested. The

Arginine, a cationic semi-essential amino acid, is involved in numerous pathways of human metabolism. It serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of proteins and also of ornithine, polyamines, nitric oxide, proline, glutamate, glutamine, creatine, agmatine and dimethylarginines. Arginine is

Nickel compounds are known to cause respiratory cancer in humans and induce tumors in experimental animals. The underlying molecular mechanisms may involve genotoxic effects; however, the data from different research groups are not easy to reconcile. Here, we challenge the common premise that direct

OBJECTIVE Abnormal function of gene p53 is associated with the formation of various cancers including gastric cancer. Recently, p53 codon 72 polymorphism was extensively studied to determine the risk factors responsible for cancer formation using the concept of single nucleotide polymorphism. In

Etiological factors for gastric cancer, among others, involve consumption of smoked, salted, and pickled fish of certain types. Their chemical nature is not yet fully established but probably involves diazo phenols, and their formation can be prevented either by omitting the salting and pickling

Loss of mitotic checkpoint of cells contributes to chromosomal instability and leads to carcinogenesis. Mitotic arrest deficient 1 (MAD1) is a key component in mitotic checkpoint signalling. In this study, we identified a novel MAD1 interacting partner, proline-rich acidic protein 1 (PRAP1), using

Computer analysis of protein phosphorylation-sites sequence revealed that most transcriptional factors and viral oncoproteins are prime targets for regulation of proline-directed protein phosphorylation, suggesting an association of proline-directed protein kinase (PDPK) family with neoplastic

OBJECTIVE An important tumor suppressor gene, p53, plays a role in the regulation of cell progression and prevention of carcinogenesis. Mutated p53 is related to cell progression and malignancy. We aimed to evaluate the association between nasopharyngeal carcinoma and p53 polymorphism. METHODS Case

Frying or broiling of meat or fish yields powerful genotoxic carcinogens such as 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and related amino-imidazo azaarene carcinogens. We have explored the mode of formation and inhibition of production of these carcinogens. Maillard reactions from precursor

The inhibitory effects of a novel prodrug, 3-(4'-geranyloxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-trans-propenoyl-L-alanyl-L-proline (GAP), of the secondary metabolite 4'-geranyloxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-trans-propenoic acid (4'-geranyloxy-ferulic acid), on colon carcinogenesis was investigated using an azoxymetahen

The effect of 4-cis-hydroxy-L-proline (CHP), a proline analogue, on the anchorage-dependent and -independent growth of several transformed rodent cell lines was studied. Mouse NIH-3T3 fibroblasts transformed by a variety of different oncogenes (Ki-ras, mos, src, fms, fes, met, and trk) by a DNA

We determined the dose of ascorbic acid (ASC) given to subjects with a standard 400-calorie meal that inhibited N-nitrosoproline (NPRO) formation when we gave 400 mg of nitrate one hour before and 500 mg of L-proline with the standard meal. Volunteers consumed their normal US diets but restricted

The objective of this study was to investigate the chemopreventive potentials of glycine- and proline-rich glycoprotein (SNL glycoprotein, 150-kDa) isolated from Solanum nigrum Linne on formation of colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 20 mg/kg) in A/J mice.
