Akt directly regulates focal adhesion kinase through association and serine phosphorylation: implication for pressure-induced colon cancer metastasis

Although focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is typically considered upstream of Akt, extracellular pressure stimulates cancer cell adhesion via Akt-dependent FAK activation. How Akt regulates FAK is unknown. We studied Akt-FAK interaction in colon cancer cells under 15 mmHg increased extracellular pressure. Pressure enhanced Akt-FAK association, blocked by inhibiting FAK or...

A molecular case†control study of the Merkel cell polyomavirus in colon cancer
|
|
AbstractTo explore the putative role of the Merkel cell polyomavirus in human colon cancer, a prospective molecular case†control study was undertaken in patients and their relatives enrolled during a screening program. Fresh tissue samples from 64 cases of colon cancer (mean age 69.9 ± 11.0 years; 40 males) and fresh biopsies...

Common Bone Drugs May Reduce Colon Cancer Risk
|
|
An international team of researchers has found that the use of bisphosphonates - drugs already taken by millions of healthy women to prevent bone-loss - for more than one year was associated with a 50 percent reduction in the risk of postmenopausal colorectal cancer. The results were published this week...

MU researchers believe discovery could lead to testing that displaces colonoscopies

(University of Missouri-Columbia) Nobody enjoys colonoscopies, including mice. University of Missouri researchers are excited about the potential of using genetic biomarkers to predict colon cancer caused by inflammation. A new method developed at the MU Research Animal Diagnostic Laboratory could eventually lead to a method that might eliminate colonoscopies altogether. (...

In this study, we evaluated hCKAP2 as a plausible antiâ€cancer target through development and validation of a targeted cancer gene therapy strategy based on targeting and replacement of hCKAP2 RNA using a transâ€splicing ribozyme. This targeted RNA replacement triggered transgene activity via accurate transâ€splicing reaction selectively in human cancer cells...
