Our results showed that the mRNA level of miR-133b was remarkably decreased in OC cell lines compared with normal colon epithelium cells, whereas the protein expression of EGFR was significantly increased.
Nevertheless, few reports suggest that c-erbB-2/neu, which is a prognostic marker in breast cancer, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is overexpressed in a variety of neoplasms, and fibroblast growth factor-3 (FGF-3/INT-2), which has been found to be amplified in breast and ovarian cancer, could be implicated in the development of endometrial adenocarcinoma.
It is reported the expression of HCRP1 is inversely related to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in breast cancer and lead to resistance to cetuximab in ovarian cancer.
Importantly, overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in ovarian cancer correlates with poor disease outcome and induces EMT in ovarian cancer cells.
Here, we investigated the mechanisms of crosstalk between PAFR and EGFR signaling in ovarian cancer cells to further determine whether the interaction between PAFR and EGFR synergistic contribute to the progression of ovarian cancer.
GE11-directed reversibly cross-linked polymersomal doxorubicin has emerged as an advanced alternative to Lipo-Dox for treatment of EGFR-overexpressing ovarian cancers.
Expressions of nm23 gene products/nucleoside diphosphate kinases, epidermal growth factor receptor, erbB-2 protein, and sex steroid receptor status in ovarian carcinomas were also examined by immunohistochemistry.
Enhanced Chemotherapeutic Efficacy of Paclitaxel Nanoparticles Co-delivered with MicroRNA-7 by Inhibiting Paclitaxel-Induced EGFR/ERK pathway Activation for Ovarian Cancer Therapy.
Both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) are overexpressed in the majority of human tumors, including ovarian cancer.
Because it is believed that an activation of the epidermal growth factor/transforming growth factor alpha (EGF/TGF alpha) signal pathway could be involved, we analysed the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and TGF alpha with molecular-chemical, biochemical and immunohistochemical methods in 42 ovarian carcinomas, 4 ovarian metastasis, 2 other malignant ovarian tumours, and in 25 nonmalignant tissues (ovary, myometrium).
Anti-EpCAM-conjugated adeno-associated virus serotype 2 for systemic delivery of EGFR shRNA: Its retargeting and antitumor effects on OVCAR3 ovarian cancer in vivo.
Analysis of human ovarian cancer patients' tumor tissues shows aberrantly-active EGFR and Stat3 that in certain cases correlate with Vimentin over-expression.
Amphiregulin (AREG), the most abundant EGFR ligand in ovarian cancer, binds exclusively to EGFR and stimulates ovarian cancer cell invasion by down-regulating E-cadherin expression.
Amphiregulin (AREG) binds exclusively to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and has been considered to be a dominant autocrine/paracrine EGFR ligand in ovarian cancer.
Although anti-EGFR-targeted therapy has shown limited clinical activity in ovarian cancer to date, a recent report suggests that activation of ErbB3, one of the members of the EGFR family, may support the growth and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells and that ErbB3 may therefore serve as a potential therapeutic target in this disease.
Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have known activity in advanced ovarian cancer, the effect of combined therapy against EGFR and PARP in this population has not been reported.
