The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential association between expression of β-catenin and gelsolin, and their influence on the migration ability of colon adenocarcinoma LS180 cells.
The most important markers for discriminating between the groups were CEA (classical carcinoid versus all others), KRas mutation (present in all mucinous cystadeno (carcino)mas), beta-catenin (goblet cell carcinoid versus left sided colonic adenocarcinoma) and chromogranin (goblet cell carcinoid versus right sided colonic adenocarcinoma).
Altered gene expression in rat colonic adenocarcinomas induced in an azoxymethane plus 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]- pyridine initiation-promotion model.
We report on a case with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency caused by a novel MSH6 mutation leading to a T-cell lymphoma and colonic adenocarcinoma at six and 13 years of age, respectively.
The patient's adenocarcinoma of the colon and IPMN of the pancreas showed identical immunohistochemical staining profiles with loss of expression of MSH2 and MSH6 proteins and high levels of microsatellite instability.
Stable recombinant colonic adenocarcinoma cell (Caco-2) systems transfected with ABCB1 wild-type allele and variant alleles (1236 T, 2677T and 3435T) were constructed.
CT scan of abdomen/pelvis showed obstructive mass which was found to be colon adenocarcinoma which on further molecular analysis tested positive for KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations.
The study was performed on ovarian cancer cell line (OvBH-1), colon adenocarcinoma metastasis to ovary (SW626) and on cells isolated from ascitic fluids from patients with ovarian cancer: with (p53+) or without (p53-) p53 nuclear protein accumulation. p53 protein, Ser15, Ser20, Bax, Noxa and PgP protein expression was evaluated by means of immunocytochemical staining before and after chemotherapy.
Among the patients positive for TP53 mutations diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma, 50% also showed at least one mutation in pathogenic genes of which 14% were BRAF, 33% were KRAS, and 3% were NRAS.
Curcumin induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest via the activation of reactive oxygen species-independent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in Smad4 and p53 mutated colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cells.
Patients ≥ 18 years old with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum and known KRAS status who were refractory or intolerant to two or more prior chemotherapy regimens were enrolled.
