AKT activation enhances resistance to apoptosis and induces cell survival signaling through multiple downstream pathways. We now present evidence that AKT is activated in HTLV-1-transformed cells and that Tax activation ofAKT is linked to NF-jB activation.
Fifteen human placentas were obtained at term. Placental fragments were incubated in a bicarbonate-buffered Earle's solution. Additions of glutamate (1 mM) or glutamine (1 or 2 mM) were made. All incubations showed a net utilization of glucose.
The development of malignant tumors results from deregulated proliferation or an inability of cells to undergo apoptotic cell death. Experimental works of the past decade have highlighted the importance of calcium (Ca2 þ ) in the regulation of apoptosis.
Electroporation, a method for increasing the permeability of membranes to ions and small molecules, is used in the clinic with chemotherapeutic drugs for cancer treatment. Electroporation with calcium causes ATP (adenosine triphosphate) depletion and cancer cell death and could be a novel cancer treatment.
High calcium consumption may confer a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Dai and colleagues recently reported in a case-control study that intake of calcium may be associated with a decreased risk of colorectal adenoma only when the dietary calcium:magnesium intake ratio is low.
Calcineurin (PP2B), a serine threonine kinase controlled by cellular calcium, was originally identified by Klee and colleagues in extracts of mammalian brain. Within the past few years this phosphatase has been implicated in a wide variety of biological responses including lymphocyte activation, neuronal and muscle development, axonal pathfinding and morphogenesis of vertebrate heart valves
The aim of this study was to evaluate a complex association among intake of dietary vitamin D, calcium, and retinol, and pancreatic cancer risk. Methods Pancreatic cancer cases (n = 532) d
