Book excerpt: The serendipitously discovered link between developmental biology and cancer, touched of an explosion of discoveries on the role of Notch in human malignancies, including every aspect of cancer biology, from control of differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis in transformed cells to angiogenesis, tumor-stroma interaction and anti-cancer immune responses. A number of observations have revealed that Notch even plays a role in the renewal of cancer stem cells and tumor initiating cells, which are thought to be a major cause of resistance to treatment. Targeting Notch in Cancer will provide researchers, oncologists, pharmacologists and students with a detailed understanding of the intricate cross-talk between Notch and other pathways of therapeutic interest so to better design rational drug combinations for specific diseases and disease subsets. Divided into two parts, Part I describes in detail what we know about the genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology of Notch, as well as the role of Notch in such processes as angiogenesis and immune surveillance. Without insights gained from these basic studies, rational targeting of Notch in human disease would be impossible. Part II describes the role of Notch and ongoing experimental therapeutic efforts in the most important subtypes of human cancers, organized in a clinically oriented fashion by organs and systems affected

Book excerpt: A panel of leading academic and pharmaceutical investigators takes stock of the remarkable work that has been accomplished to date with proteasome inhibitors in cancer, and examines emerging therapeutic possibilities. The topics range from a discussion of the chemistry and cell biology of the proteasome and the rationale for proteasome inhibitors in cancer to a review of current clinical trials underway. The discussion of rationales for testing proteasome inhibitors in cancer models covers the role of the proteasome in NF-kB activation, the combining of conventional chemotherapy and radiation with proteasome inhibition, notably PS-341, new proteasome methods of inhibiting viral maturation, and the role of protesome inhibition in the treatment of AIDS. The authors also document the development of bortezomib (VelcadeTM) in Phase I clinical trials and in a multicentered Phase II clinical trials in patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant threat to both men and women alike. Although a small percentage of CRC cases are inherited, the majority of cases arise from environmental causes and are widely attributed to dysfunctional cellular pathways. Currently, the CRC progression model maintains that cancer growth, relapse and metastasis are due primarily to cancer stem cells (CSCs), a cell subpopulation that shares many properties with stem cells through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). We have recently reported that Notch-1 signaling is highly associated with promoting cancer stemness and EMT in CRC. Furthermore, we observed that expression of the Notch-1 receptor also upregulates Jagged-1, a ligand of the Notch receptors, which may affect stemness and EMT. However, this effect is reversed by treatment with DAPT, a [gamma]-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor. Thus, we hypothesized that the effect of Notch-1 on stemness and EMT in CRC is mediated by Jagged-1 via another member of the Notch pathway, the Notch-3 receptor. To assess our hypothesis, we utilized the colon cancer cell line HCT-116. The parental HCT-116 cells were transduced with an IRES (internal ribosome entry site)-GFP retrovirus that expressed the human intracytoplasmic domain of Notch-1, thus producing the ICN1 cell line. The ICN1 cells were then transduced with a small hairpin RNA (shRNA) construct that effectively knocked down Notch-3, which created the ICN1-shN3 cell line. Growth ability, plating efficiency and colosphere formation were assessed in each cell line. In these experiments, cell culture and Western blot analysis were performed using standard methodology. We found that targeting Notch-3 via shRNA transduction in the colon tumor cell line ICN1-shN3 resulted in a significant decrease of Notch-3 expression. Further Western blot analysis indicated reduced expression of CD44 and Slug, markers for stemness and EMT, respectively. Further analyses showed that in the absence of functioning Notch-3, plating efficiency decreased by 60% and migration decreased by 22% when compared to the ICN1 cell line. These results were accompanied by significant changes in colosphere formation when the ICN1-shN3 cells were compared to ICN1 cells. ICN1-shN3 cells showed a 35% reduction in colosphere formation compared to the ICN cells. This difference was observed in colospheres of both high (33%) and medium/low (37%) proliferative capacity. These data indicate a key role for Notch-3 signaling in Notch-1-induced tumorigenesis mediated by Jagged-1. They also highlight the potential use of Notch-3 inhibitors to effectively target aggressive CRC tumors.

Book excerpt: This book is devoted to innovative medicine, comprising the proceedings of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium 2014. It remains extremely rare for the findings of basic research to be developed into clinical applications, and it takes a long time for the process to be achieved. The task of advancing the development of basic research into clinical reality lies with translational science, yet the field seems to struggle to find a way to move forward. To create innovative medical technology, many steps need to be taken: development and analysis of optimal animal models of human diseases, elucidation of genomic and epidemiological data, and establishment of “proof of concept”. There is also considerable demand for progress in drug research, new surgical procedures, and new clinical devices and equipment. While the original research target may be rare diseases, it is also important to apply those findings more broadly to common diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics and is organized into three complementary parts. The first part is basic research for innovative medicine, the second is translational research for innovative medicine, and the third is new technology for innovative medicine. This book helps to understand innovative medicine and to make progress in its realization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer, which has become the second-most prevalent health issue globally, is essentially a malfunction of cell signaling. Understanding how the intricate signaling networks of cells and tissues allow cancer to thrive - and how they can be turned into potent weapons against it - is the key to managing cancer in the clinic and improving the outcome of cancer therapies. In their ground-breaking textbook, the authors provide a compelling story of how cancer works on the molecular level, and how targeted therapies using kinase inhibitors and other modulators of signaling pathways can contain and eventually cure it. The first part of the book gives an introduction into the cell and molecular biology of cancer, focusing on the key mechanisms of cancer formation. The second part of the book introduces the main signaling transduction mechanisms responsible for carcinogenesis and compares their function in healthy versus cancer cells. In contrast to the complexity of its topic, the text is easy to read. 32 specially prepared teaching videos on key concepts and pathways in cancer signaling are available online for users of the print edition and have been integrated into the text in the enhanced e-book edition.
