This book was released on 2019 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the western world. Although early stage prostate cancer is treatable late stage, more specifically, metastatic and drug resistant prostate cancers are mostly incurable. The failure of current treatments obligates the research community to explore novel areas in prostate cancer biology and find better therapeutic targets. Emerging evidences show that non-coding RNAs specifically long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play regulatory roles in various cellular processes and are frequently dysregulated in cancer including prostate cancer. These aberrantly expressed lncRNAs mostly with unexplored genetic information may drive cancer progression. Previous studies done in our laboratory showed a tumor suppressor role of a cluster of small non-coding RNAs or microRNA (miRNA) miR-17-92a in PC-3 prostate cancer cells. To learn the underlying mechanism, transcriptome analysis with or without expression of miR-17-92a was conducted in our laboratory. RNA-sequencing data analysis identified reduced expression of a set of lncRNAs and oncogenes, and up regulation of several tumor suppressor genes upon expression of miR-17-92a cluster miRNAs. One of the down regulated intergenic lncRNAs, PAINT (Prostate Cancer Associated Intergenic Non-coding Transcript) (LINC00888), was selected for determining its functional role in prostate cancer. TCGA and GEO profiles analyses revealed up regulation of PAINT in prostate tumors with higher Gleason Scores, in highly aggressive metastatic prostate cancer cell lines, and upon androgen deprivation therapy of prostate cancer cells.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose to identify the functional characterization of two novel cancer-specific, metastasis-related genes whose constitutive expression may be pivotal for prostate cancer progression. Work accomplished was performed based on the proposed statement of work. We have characterized the full-length cDNAs of the Seq1 and Seq2 genes using at least three 5' and '3 rapid amplifications of cDNA ends (RACE) commercial kits (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA, BD Bioscience (Clontech Inc), and Seegene, Rockville, MD). To optimize the PCR conditions for each kit, we had designed several sets of gene-specific primers (GSP;23-28 nt long) with 50-70% GC and Tm of 55 to 75 degrees C for each gene. We have also designed several sets of nested GSPs to verify our cloned genes. Because of unique secondary structures, high GC content, short SSH sequences, and low levels of expression of these genes in prostate cancer cell lines, we had great deal of difficulty in accomplishing this task in a timely fashion. As such, we devised different strategies for the first-strand synthesis using a modified oligo(dT) primers (5'-CDS primer or 3'-CDS primer), and Smart oligo II primer under various conditions. The full-length cDNA sequences were subcloned into mammalian expression vectors (Invitrogen) and ready to be used for generation of recombinant proteins and antibody production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have developed an approach to isolate new tumor markers of prostate cancer. In order to identify genes encoding secreted protein, we have modified the signal sequence trap technique, using the SUC 2 gene encoding a secreted protein of yeast. Only the yeast which have been transformed with cDNAs containing secretory signal sequences can grow into colonies on the plates which contain sucrose as the only source of sugar. Early difficulties identifying positive clones with our initial vector system were problematic; we obtained a new vector system to reduce the possibility of enzymatically inactive fusion invertase and enhance the sensitivity of this signal trap system which allowed us to obtain positive clones. We successfully constructed and subtracted a prostate specific cDNA library. We will continue to pursue the selection of positive clones, make RNA dot blots from various tissues to establish tissue specificity of the cDNA and perform homology searches to determine if we have found a novel gene. Unique genes will be cloned into a GST vector and fusion proteins will be made and used to make antibody against the protein. Serum sample assays will be developed from antibodies that identify prostate specific genes. Additionally, structure/function analysis and sense and antisense expression vectors will be employed to elucidate further the function of these genes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, technological advances in molecular biology have proven invaluable to the understanding of the pathogenesis of human cancer. The application of molecular technology to the study of cancer has not only led to advances in tumor diagnosis, but has also provided markers for the assessment of prognosis and disease progression. The aim of Molecular Ana- sis of Cancer is to provide a comprehensive collection of the most up-to-date techniques for the detection of molecular changes in human cancer. Leading researchers in the field have contributed chapters detailing practical pro- dures for a wide range of state-of-the-art techniques. Molecular Analysis of Cancer includes chapters describing techniques for the identification of chromosomal abnormalities and comprising: fluor- cent in situ hybridization (FISH), spectral karyotyping (SKY), comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), and microsatellite analysis. FISH has a pro- nent role in the molecular analysis of cancer and can be used for the detection of numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities. The recently described SKY, in which all human metaphase chromosomes are visualized in specific colors, allows for the definition of all chromosomal rearrangements and marker chromosomes in a tumor cell. Protocols for the detection of chromosomal re- rangements by PCR and RT-PCR are described, as well as the technique of DNA fingerprinting, a powerful tool for studying somatic genetic alterations in tumorigenesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive review of the most current scientific research on ABC transporters and multidrug resistance ATP-binding cassette transporter genes (ABC transporters) are known to play a crucial role in the development of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR is the ability of pathologic cells, such as tumors, to withstand chemicals designed to target and destroy such cells. In MDR, patients who are on medication eventually develop resistance to not only the drug they are taking, but to several different types of drugs. ABC Transporters and Multidrug Resistance offers an essential resource for pharmaceutical researchers who are working to discover drugs to counteract multidrug resistance in diseases such as cancer. In one comprehensive volume, this book contains a collection of the most current knowledge on the involvement of ABC transporters in drug transport and resistance. This comprehensive volume provides an overview on the description of the structure, the genome, normal tissue expression, physiological aspect, and mechanism of action of the ABC protein. The expert contributors explore the expression, detection, and implications of ABC proteins in hematological malignancies and solid tumors and ABC proteins and pathogenic microorganisms. This volume also explains MDR modulation through inhibition of ABC transporters and the design of inhibitors and mechanism of action. In addition, the book offers essential information on the biological and clinical aspect of multidrug resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.

Book excerpt: Every day, 1500 Americans die of cancer, and yet for most of us this deadly disease remains mysterious. Why is it so common? Why are there so many different causes? Why does treatment so often fail? What, ultimately, is cancer? In this fascinating new book, a leading cancer researcher offers general readers clear and convincing answers to these and many other questions. Mel Greaves places cancer in its evolutionary context, arguing that we can best answer the big questions about cancer by looking through a Darwinian lens. Drawing on both ancient and more modern evolutionary legacies, he shows how human development has changed the rules of evolutionary games, trapping us in a nature-nurture mismatch. Compelling examples, from the King of Naples intestinal tumor in the 15th century, through the epidemic of scrotal skin cancer in 18th-century chimney sweeps, to the current surge of cases of prostate cancer illustrate his thesis. He also shows why the old paradigms of infectious diseases or genetic disorders have proved fruitless when trying to explain this complex and elusive disease. And finally, he looks at the implications for research, prevention, and treatment of cancer that an evolutionary perspective provides. Drawing on the most recent research, this is the first book to put cancer in its evolutionary framework. At a time when Darwinian perspectives on everything from language acquisition to economics are providing new breakthroughs in understanding, medicine seems to have much to gain from the insights provided by evolutionary biology. Written in an exceptionally lucid and entertaining style, this book will be of broad interest to all those who wish to know more about this dread disease.
