neoplasm metastasis/ニワトコ属

Anoikis is a form of anchorage-dependent apoptosis, and cancer cells adopt anokis-resistance molecular machinery to conduct metastasis. Here, we report that N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V gene expression confers anoikis resistance during cancer progression. Overexpression of

OBJECTIVE One of the typical modifications on the surface of cancer cells is sialylation of terminal carbohydrates. The expression of several types of sialylation of glycoconjugates was investigated in colorectal cancer. METHODS The cancer tissue specimens obtained from 65 colorectal cancer patients

Alterations in cell surface proteins and glycoproteins may play a key role in determining the metastatic behavior of tumor cells. The cell surface proteins of a series of related murine colon cancer cells selected in an animal model for colon cancer metastasis (R. S. Bresalier et al., Cancer Res.,

OBJECTIVE To study the expression of galectin-3 (gal-3) and Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA) binding site and to detect their clinicopathological significances in the benign and malignant lesions of gallbladder. METHODS We used immunohistochemistry to detect gal-3 expression and ABC

OBJECTIVE To study the expressive levels of galectin-3(gal-3) and Sambucus nigra agglutinin(SNA) and their clinicopathological significance in the benign and malignant lesions of stomach. METHODS EnVision immunohistochemistry for assaying gal-3 expressive level and ABC cytochemistry for determining

Expression of N-cadherin an adhesion molecule of the cadherin family, in tumor cells is associated with their increased invasive potential. Many studies suggested the role of N-linked oligosaccharides as important factors that contribute to metastasis by influencing tumor cell invasion and adhesion.

OBJECTIVE Aberrant cell surface glycosylation, and especially excessive sialylation, is thought to have great importance in tumor malignancy. To investigate the clinicopathological significance of sialylation in colorectal cancer, we performed histochemical analyses using sialic acid-binding

CMP-NeuAc: Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc alpha 2,6 sialyltransferase (alpha 2,6-ST) [EC 2.4.99.1] is developmentally regulated, shows a high degree of tissue specificity, and appears to play a role in oncogenic transformation and metastasis. In the present study, we have performed the first detailed analysis

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein marker, which is widely used for diagnosing various cancers, especially colon adenocarcinoma. In addition, CEA mediates homotypic adhesion of colon adenocarcinoma cells, which appears to favor hematogenous metastasis. CEA carries α2,6sialyl residues

The expression of CMP-NeuAc: Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc alpha 2,6 sialyltransferase (alpha 2,6-ST) [EC 2.4.99.1] and glycoproteins bearing alpha 2,6-linked sialic acids were examined in primary human brain tumours and cell lines. 79% (19/24) of the meningiomas expressed alpha 2,6-ST mRNA, 42% (10/24) of

Alterations in cell membrane glycosylation play important role in oral carcinogenesis. The present study evaluated salivary sialylation changes i.e. total sialic acid (TSA), sialidase activity, linkage specific (α2-3 and α2-6) sialoproteins and sialyl transferase (ST) activity in controls, patients

Aberrant content of sialic acids (Sias) has been observed in various human cancer types in different organs. Sias have been implicated in cancerous transformation, invasiveness and metastasis, and in the escaping of cancer cells from immune surveillance. Indeed, Sias are commonly regarded as

Altered sialylation has been observed during oncogenic transformation and has been implicated in tumor progression and metastases. This pattern may aid the biological behavior of many tumors. Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and their diagnosis becomes difficult, in some cases, due to

BACKGROUND Enhanced sialylation has been considered important for the metastatic growth of colorectal carcinomas. Using sequence- and sialic acid-specific lectins and a monoclonal antibody, the tumor-associated expression of alpha(2,3)- and alpha(2,6)-sialylated oligosaccharides was investigated.
