Screening glioma stem cells in U251 cells based on the P1 promoter of the CD133 gene.

Oncology letters

Wang X, Chen L, Xiao Z, Wang Y, Liu T, Zhang T, Zhang Y.
PMID: 27698813
Oncol Lett. 2016 Oct;12(4):2457-2462. doi: 10.3892/ol.2016.4966. Epub 2016 Aug 05.

Cluster of differentiation (CD)133 is an important cell surface marker of glioma stem cells (GSCs). The transcription of the CD133 gene is controlled by five alternative promoters (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5), which are expressed in a tissue-specific...

A Positive Selection for Nucleoside Kinases in E. coli.

PloS one

Shelat NY, Parhi S, Ostermeier M.
PMID: 27677184
PLoS One. 2016 Sep 27;11(9):e0162921. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0162921. eCollection 2016.

Engineering heterologous nucleoside kinases inside E. coli is a difficult process due to the integral role nucleosides play in cell division and transcription. Nucleoside analogs are used in many kinase screens that depend on cellular metabolization of the analogs....

Metastatic Ovarian Cancer Can Be Efficiently Treated by Genetically Modified Mesenchymal Stromal Cells.

Stem cells and development

Toro L, Bohovic R, Matuskova M, Smolkova B, Kucerova L.
PMID: 27539058
Stem Cells Dev. 2016 Nov 01;25(21):1640-1651. doi: 10.1089/scd.2016.0064. Epub 2016 Aug 16.

Due to late diagnosis, often recurrence, formation of metastases and resistance to commonly used chemotherapeutics human ovarian carcinoma represents a serious disease with high mortality. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AT-MSC) can serve as vehicles for therapeutic genes and...

Serum thymidine kinase 1 levels correlate with clinical characteristics of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

International journal of clinical and experimental medicine

Ji Y, Wu XB, Chen JY, Hu B, Zhu QK, Zhu XF, Zheng MF.
PMID: 26550200
Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015 Aug 15;8(8):12850-7. eCollection 2015.

Patients with esophageal cancer are often diagnosed at advanced stages, leading to poor prognosis. Biomarkers are needed to enable earlier detection as well as to aid in the prediction of prognosis, but to date these tools remain scarce. Thymidine...

Improving the safety of cell therapy products by suicide gene transfer.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Jones BS, Lamb LS, Goldman F, Di Stasi A.
PMID: 25505885
Front Pharmacol. 2014 Nov 27;5:254. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2014.00254. eCollection 2014.

Adoptive T-cell therapy can involve donor lymphocyte infusion after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the administration of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte expanded ex-vivo, or more recently the use of T cell receptor or chimeric antigen receptor redirected T cells. However,...

Vesicular Stomatitis Virus G Glycoprotein and ATRA Enhanced Bystander Killing of Chemoresistant Leukemic Cells by Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase/Ganciclovir.

Biomolecules & therapeutics

Hu C, Chen Z, Zhao W, Wei L, Zheng Y, He C, Zeng Y, Yin B.
PMID: 24753816
Biomol Ther (Seoul). 2014 Feb;22(2):114-21. doi: 10.4062/biomolther.2013.112.

Refractoriness of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells to chemotherapeutics represents a major clinical barrier. Suicide gene therapy for cancer has been attractive but with limited clinical efficacy. In this study, we investigated the potential application of herpes simplex virus...

An expression vector inhibits gene expression in Xenopus embryos by antisense RNA.

Roux's archives of developmental biology : the official organ of the EDBO

Schmid M, Steinbeisser H, Epperlein HH, Trendelenburg MF, Lipps HJ.
PMID: 28305852
Rouxs Arch Dev Biol. 1992 Oct;201(6):340-345. doi: 10.1007/BF00365121.

An expression vector was constructed containing the entire bovine papilloma virus (BPV-1) genome and part of the a-actin gene of Xenopus laevis cloned in the antisense orientation into the neomycin resistance gene under the control of the herpes simplex...

Escape Mutations, Ganciclovir Resistance, and Teratoma Formation in Human iPSCs Expressing an HSVtk Suicide Gene.

Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids

Kotini AG, de Stanchina E, Themeli M, Sadelain M, Papapetrou EP.
PMID: 26836371
Mol Ther Nucleic Acids. 2016 Feb 02;5:e284. doi: 10.1038/mtna.2015.57.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) hold great promise for cell therapy. However, a major concern is the risk of tumor formation by residual undifferentiated cells contaminating the hPSC-derived cell product. Suicide genes could safeguard against such adverse events by...

Evaluation of the diagnostic value of alpha-l-fucosidase, alpha-fetoprotein and thymidine kinase 1 with ROC and logistic regression for hepatocellular carcinoma.

FEBS open bio

Zhang SY, Lin BD, Li BR.
PMID: 25870783
FEBS Open Bio. 2015 Mar 26;5:240-4. doi: 10.1016/j.fob.2015.03.010. eCollection 2015.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the combined analysis of alpha-l-fucosidase (AFU), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and thymidine kinase 1 (TK1). Serum levels of AFU, AFP and TK1 were measured in:...

Long-term Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplementation Ameliorates Diethylnitrosamine-induced Liver Glutathione S-transferase-p Positivity in Zucker Fatty Rats.

Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology

Ishizaki S, Nishiyama M, Hagiwara A.
