CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE We found levels of CHKA to be increased in human HCCs compared to nontumor tissues, and increased expression to be associated with tumor aggressiveness and reduced survival times of patients. 28065789 2017
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE The enhanced concentration in neoplasm is based not only on the increasing growing rate, but also on more specific issues, such as the augmented uptake in malignant cells due to the up-regulation of choline kinase. 27381438 2017
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE While cytoplasmic CHKα did not relate to survival, nuclear CHKα distribution was observed in 43% of samples and was associated with longer survival, especially among patients with well/moderately differentiated tumors. 26769123 2016
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE We will review the current understanding of ChoKα metabolism, its role in tumor biology and the development and validation of targeted therapies and companion diagnostics for this important regulatory enzyme. 27073147 2016
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Here we describe the use of siRNA to downregulate choline kinase, a critical enzyme in choline phospholipid metabolism of cancer cells and tumors, and the use of (1)H MRS of cells and (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) of tumors to assess the efficacy of the downregulation. 26530913 2016
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Tumor xenografts (n = 6 per group) were generated in mice using genetically engineered prostate cancer cells with inducible CHKA knockdown. 26657335 2016
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE The results showed that dysregulation of choline metabolism occurred in TCL and was related to tumor cell overexpression of choline kinase-α (Chokα). 25768400 2015
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Several other targets, for example COX-2, IL-12, Bcl-xL, livin and choline kinase α, have also been observed to inhibit tumour growth, but these findings have not been replicated to date. 26390971 2015
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE The effect of ChoKα inhibitors in combination with 5-FU as a new alternative for the treatment of colon tumors has been investigated both in vitro in CRC-tumour derived cell lines, and in vivo in mouse xenografts models. 23762272 2013

0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE GDPD5, CHKA and PLD1 were significantly overexpressed in highly malignant ER(-) tumors in our patient cohort. 22279038 2012
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Metabolic changes observed in various cancer cell lines and tumors have been associated with differential and marked up-regulation of the CKα genes, and specific inhibition of CKα activity has been proposed as a potential anti-cancer strategy. 22429312 2012
