Then, we found that RMP was bound up with the status of nodal and T stage which indicating that RMP may be related to the growth and malignant degree of EC.
Down-regulation of miR-27a could confer sensitivity of both P-glycoprotein-related and P-glycoprotein-non-related drugs on esophageal cancer cells, and might promote ADR-induced apoptosis, accompanied by increased accumulation and decreased releasing amount of ADR.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the change of drug-sensitivity and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression in ionization radiation-induced human esophageal cancer radioresistant cells.
We examined the ABCB1 gene polymorphism C3435T to predict response and prognosis to neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and 36 Gy) in locally advanced esophageal cancer patients.
We examined the ABCB1 gene polymorphism C3435T to predict response and prognosis to neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and 36 Gy) in locally advanced esophageal cancer patients.
In conclusion, we propose that ABCB1 might play a pivotal role in acquisition of taxane resistance and could be a promising target for treatment of patients with esophageal cancer after acquisition of taxane resistance.
Effects of silencing the ATP-binding cassette protein E1 gene by electroporation on the proliferation and migration of EC109 human esophageal cancer cells.
In conclusion, TET possesses a reversal effect on drug resistance in YES-2/DDP cells through downregulation of MRP1, and has the potential to be an adjunct to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer.
Although the expression of MRP was predominant in esophageal cancer cell lines, expression of either or both of the genes was detected in all the cell lines tested.
With a goal of identifying relations between gene expression and response (mucosal or pathological) or survival in esophageal cancer patients (stages II to IV) receiving oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and radiation, we measured in endoscopic primary tumor biopsies from 38 patients, the expression of seven genes (gammaGCS, gammaGT, MRP-2, ERCC-1, XPA, TS and DPD) prior to treatment, 1 week following oxaliplatin alone and at the end of the combined radio-chemotherapy cycle using real time QRT-PCR.
Genome-wide association analyses of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese identify multiple susceptibility loci and gene-environment interactions.
These results revealed that ABCE1 is closely associated with cell proliferation, invasion and migration in esophageal cancer and silencing the ABCE1 gene by electroporation can significantly reduce the proliferation, invasion and migration capacity of EC109 cells in vitro.
EVs released by drug-resistant cells were proved that they could upregulate the expression of ABCG2 in esophageal cancer cells and thus regulate the drug resistance of esophageal cancer cells, which was related to the linc-VLDLR carried by EVs.
After treatment of Eca109/ABCG2 (an esophageal cancer multidrug resistance cell line) cells with adriamycin (ADM) combined with EGCG for 24h, the cellular apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, ADM concentration in cells and ABCG2 protein expression were detected by flow cytometry.
Four distinct sequence alterations were identified: (a) in one gastric and one esophageal tumor, an A to C transversion occurred at nucleotide 5795 (CAC-->CCC), leading to a His-->Pro substitution at codon 179; (b) a second esophageal tumor had a C to T transition at nucleotide 8291 (ACC-->ATC), leading to a Thr-->Ile substitution at codon 277 of IGFBP-3; (c) one alteration comprised a G to C transversion in exon 1 at nucleotide 2132 (GGG-->GCG), leading to a Gly-->Ala substitution at codon 32 in two gastric cancers, seven esophageal cancers, and nine colon cancers; and (d) a C to G transversion located 17 nucleotides from the 3' splice site in intron 1 was observed in three colon cancers and four esophageal cancers.
The effects of neoadjuvant therapy on morbidity and mortality of esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: American college of surgeons national surgical quality improvement program (ACS-NSQIP) 2005-2012.
An ACE insertion/deletion polymorphism might modulate the function of ACE gene and play a role in affecting individual susceptibility to pulmonary injury following esophagectomy in patients of esophageal cancer.
