Malignant neoplasm of colon and/or rectum
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Our results showed that: i) a significant relationship exists between apoptosis and genesis of colorectal cancer since, compared to adenomatous polyps and adjacent normal mucosa, cell death is markedly inhibited in tumors (p = 0.01); ii) during colon tumor progression, apoptosis and amplifications of c-myc/c-myb genes are inversely related; iii) Bcl-2 expression is retained in colon tumors even though at a significantly lower level with respect to adenomatous polyps. 11848471 2002
Malignant neoplasm of colon and/or rectum
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In this study, we first demonstrated that TF (5-30 microM) induced apoptosis in several types of human cancer cell lines including human hepatoma (Hep G2), colorectal cancer (COLO 205), and fibroblast (CCD 922SK) cells for 24 h. The cellular responses to TF-induced apoptosis were demonstrated to be associated with the p53-signaling pathway, including induction of p53, p21/Cip1, p27/Kip1, bax protein expression and inhibition of bcl-2 protein expression. 12244568 2002
Malignant neoplasm of colon and/or rectum
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE 1) Colorectal carcinoma and its resection margin overexpress gastrin and receptors for gastrin (CCK(B)-R), and COX-2; 2) here, we propose that an increased plasma level of gastrin should be considered as suitable biomarker of colorectal cancer, 3) HP infection may contribute to colonic cancerogenesis by enhancing expression of gastrin and COX-2, they may account for stimulation of the tumor growth, angiogenesis and reduction in apoptosis as evidenced an increased ratio of mRNA expression for anti-apoptotic Bcl2 over proapoptotic Bax proteins and 4) HP positive patients who develop colorectal cancer should be subjected to the HP eradication; this is expected to reduce hypergastrinemia and to attenuate COX-2 expression. 11687726 2002
Malignant neoplasm of colon and/or rectum
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Bcl-2 constitutively suppresses p53-dependent apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. 12670866 2003
