Applying patient-derived lung cancer xenografts and a potent inhibitor of heparanase enzymatic activity (PG545) we investigated the significance of heparanase in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.
This study aims to discuss the correlation between miR-1258 and the expression of heparanase (HPSE) in the cancer cells of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the inhibition mechanism of miR-1258 on the invasion of lung cancer cell.
We investigated the effect of three growth factors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), on heparanase mRNA induction in lung cancer cells in vitro.
