The regulatory roles of long non-coding RNAs in the development of chemoresistance in breast cancer
(Impact Journals LLC, 2017)
Chemoresistance is one of the major hurdles in the treatment of breast cancer, which limits the effect of both targeted and conventional therapies in clinical settings. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underpinning ...
The emerging role of long non-coding RNA in gallbladder cancer pathogenesis
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common and aggressive form of biliary tract carcinoma with an alarmingly low 5-year survival rate. Despite its high mortality rate, the underlying mechanisms of GBC pathogenesis are not ...
Investigating regulatory signatures of human autophagy related gene 5 (ATG5) through functional in silico analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)
Autophagy is an essential, homeostatic process which removes damaged cellular proteins and organelles for cellular renewal. ATG5, a part of E3 ubiquitin ligase-like complex (Atg12-Atg5/Atg16L1), is a key regulator involved ...
Geminin a multi task protein involved in cancer pathophysiology and developmental process: A review
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)
DNA replicates in a timely manner with each cell division. Multiple proteins and factors are involved in the initiation of DNA replication including a dynamic interaction between Cdc10-dependent transcript (Cdt1) and Geminin ...
Elevated level of acetylation of APE1 in tumor cells modulates DNA damage repair
(Impact Journals LLC, 2016)
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are frequently generated in the genome by spontaneous depurination/depyrimidination or after removal of oxidized/modified bases by DNA glycosylases during the base excision repair (BER) ...
Understanding the multifaceted role of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2) and its altered behaviour in human diseases
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2015)
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2) also known as Autotaxin, is a secreted lysophospholipase D, which hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) into Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA is the bioactive ...
An in vitro study ascertaining the role of H2O2 and glucose oxidase in modulation of antioxidant potential and cancer cell survival mechanisms in glioblastoma U-87 MG cells
(Springer New York LLC, 2017)
Glial cells protect themselves from the elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) via developing unusual mechanisms to maintain the genomic stability, and reprogramming of the cellular antioxidant system to cope with the ...
Human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) is acetylated at DNA damage sites in chromatin, and acetylation modulates its DNA repair activity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites, the most frequently formed DNA lesions in the genome, inhibit transcription and block replication. The primary enzyme that repairs AP sites in mammalian cells is the AP endonuclease (APE1), ...
