When two different tumor cell lines were treated with various concentrations of the above inhibitors, no effect on survivin expression was observed, even at concentrations of up to 100 ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Finally, we investigated whether the effects of DMC and celecoxib on survivin expression would also take place in vivo. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Thus, the differential effects of DMC, celecoxib, and other coxibs and traditional NSAIDs indicated a correlation between the effects on survivin expression and cell survival or death.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To determine whether survivin expression was similarly affected by these drugs, we generated cells that were stably transfected with luciferase reporter constructs under the control of the survivin promoter. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We validated that the expression of Caspase 8, Fas and Birc5 genes was altered by real time RT-PCR (Figure 5). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Overall, survivin expression is restricted during fetal development to NPCs in neurogenic regions of the telencephalon, of which a fraction populates the major neurogenic regions of the postnatal brain, i.e. the SVZ and the SGZ. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Effect of gene therapy on the expression of survivin. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In addition, survivin exression was also regulated by FAK phosphorylation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As shown in Figure 1, both drugs were able to down-regulate survivin expression in all cell lines investigated, which included cells derived from glioblastoma, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and carcinoma of the breast, colon, and prostate. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
It has been shown in several other experimental systems that the down-regulation of survivin expression, for example by antisense or siRNA approaches [65], results in elevated "basal level" apoptosis and, perhaps more importantly, causes substantially increased sensitivity of such tumor cells to killing by chemotherapeutic drugs or ionizing radiation (for examples, see [66-71]). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
However, in our study, there was no difference in survivin expression according to anatomic site, and no correlation between survivin expression and prognosis in biliary tract cancer. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Thus, we surmise that in addition to the transcriptional down-regulation of survivin expression, DMC and celecoxib also cause its increased posttranslational degradation via the elimination of CDK enzymatic activity. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
While the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been delineated, it is reasonable to consider that alterations in embryonic NPC survivin expression might contribute to those phenotypic changes. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Suppression of survivin is specific to these two drugs, as other coxibs (valdecoxib, rofecoxib) or traditional NSAIDs (flurbiprofen, indomethacin, sulindac) do not affect survivin expression at similar concentrations. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To determine whether celecoxib and DMC would be able to affect survivin expression in a variety of human tumor types, we treated a collection of derived cell lines with either drug in vitro. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These results are also consistent with our observation (Figure 3) that those NSAIDs that did not affect survivin expression (rofecoxib, valdecoxib, flurbiprofen, and others) also did not impinge on cell growth and survival and did not induce apoptosis. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In conclusion, our research demonstrates for the first time that both constitutive and LN-induced FAK phosphorylation contribute to increased intrinsic chemoresistance to Gem in pancreatic cancer cell lines and these effects are partly due to the regulation of Akt and Bad phosphorylation and survivin expression. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In the present study, while 34.6% of tumors expressed p53, there was no correlation between p53 and survivin expression. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In the present study, while 84.6% of tumors expressed Bax, there was no correlation between its expression and survivin expression or clinico-pathological parameters. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Of forty-nine cases of pancreatic cancer, 46 cases (93.9%) were positive for survivin expression (Fig. 1). | |||||||||||||||
