Ceramide synthases in cancer therapy and chemoresistance
Publication date: Available online 20 August 2019Source: Progress in Lipid ResearchAuthor(s): Sebastian Brachtendorf, Khadija El-Hindi, Sabine GröschAbstractDrug resistance is one major reason for failure of cancer therapy. In the past 10 years, evidence emerged showing that ceramides of specific chain length, generated by six different ceramide synthases (CerS), are deregulated in different cancer types thereby influencing chemosensitivity. In this review we sum up the cellular mechanisms regulated...

SOX18 Affects Cell Viability, Migration, Invasiveness, and Apoptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Cells by Participating in Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) Progression and Adenosine Monophosphate Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK)/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR).
CONCLUSIONS SOX18 downregulation in HCC cells suppressed cell viability and metastasis, induced cell apoptosis and hindered the occurrence and progression of tumor cells by participating in the EMT process and regulating the autophagy signaling pathway AMPK/mTOR.

Quercetin facilitates cell death and chemosensitivity through RAGE/PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis in human pancreatic cancer cells
In conclusion, the results demonstrated that the molecular mechanisms of quercetin in regulating apoptosis and autophagy-related pathways and increasing GEM chemosensitivity in pancreatic cancer cells involved inhibition of RAGE expression.Graphical abstractThis diagram illustrated that quercetin treatment effectively attenuated RAGE expression to facilitate autophagy, apoptosis, and GEM chemosensitivity in MIA Paca-2 and MIA Paca-2 GEMR cells.

Screening for microsatellite instability in colorectal carcinoma: Practical utility of immunohistochemistry and PCR with fragment analysis in a diagnostic histopathology setting.
Authors: Cheah PL, Li J, Looi LM, Koh CC, Lau TP, Chang SW, Teoh KH, Mun KS, Nazarina AR Abstract Since 2014, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has recommended that colorectal carcinoma (CRC) be universally tested for high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) which is present in 15% of such cancers. Fidelity of resultant microsatellites during DNA replication is contingent upon an intact mismatch repair (MMR) system and lack of fidelity can result in tumourigenesis. Prior to...
