100 16826166 This leads to the suppression of Ras/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation and, in the presence of EGF or fibronectin, inhibits cell proliferation.
101 16826166 We report that in the presence of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), overexpression of GM3 paradoxically increases the proliferation of carcinoma cells by augmenting ERK-independent p70S6 kinase activation.

114 17100565 Simultaneous amplification of HER-2 (ERBB2) and topoisomerase IIalpha (TOP2A) genes--molecular basis for combination chemotherapy in cancer.
115 17100565 In addition to Herceptin, which is in a wide clinical use for HER-2 amplified breast cancer, a number of various HER-2 directed immunological and genetic strategies, either targeting the HER-2 receptor, its signaling pathways or both HER-2 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) simultaneously, have demonstrated promising pre-clinical activity in HER-2 amplified carcinomas.
116 17100565 The topoisomerase IIalpha gene, TOP2A, is located adjacent to the HER-2 oncogene at the chromosome location 17q12-q21 and is either amplified or deleted (with equal frequency) in a great majority of HER-2 amplified primary breast tumors and also in tumors without HER-2 amplification.
117 17100565 Combining HER-2 targeting therapies with conventional forms of cytotoxic chemotherapy, where additional diagnostic tests such as those ascertaining TOP2A status, may be helpful for the ideal selection of patients for the combination therapy of an HER-2 targeting drug together with a cytotoxic drug such as topoII-inhibitor especially in the case of TOP2A amplification.

251 21282736 The expression of cell surface prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and the secreted prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were candidates for evaluation.
252 21282736 To test this theory, we evaluated the effects of mono- and bispecific oligos (with intrastrand complementarity), targeting BCL-2, upon the expression of non-targeted proteins PSMA, PSA and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in LNCaP cells.
253 21282736 Levels of mRNA encoding PSMA were significantly elevated following treatment with the bispecific oligos (directed against both BCL-2 and the epidermal growth factor receptor) but not by the monospecific directed solely against BCL-2.
254 21290396 Significant progress has also been made in the characterisation of other schistosome growth factor receptors, such as transforming growth factor beta receptor and epidermal growth factor receptor, and in our understanding of their roles in the host-parasite molecular dialogue and parasite development.

259 21573974 In other systems, when induced, IFN-γ promotes cell surface antigen expression, including HLA and receptors for tumor necrosis factor.
260 21573974 This study initially evaluated the inhibition of in vitro propagating LNCaP cells employing mono- and bispecific oligos directed against bcl-2 (the second bispecific binding site was against the epidermal growth factor receptor).
261 21573974 Employing RT-PCR, the expression of non-targeted proteins encoded by mRNA for PSMA, PSA, PAP, and IFN-γ was subsequently valuated.
262 21573974 Employing RT-PCR, the levels of mRNA encoding PSMA were unexpectedly found to be elevated following treatment with the bispecific oligos but not with a monospecific directed solely against bcl-2.

271 21603064 The ErbB family (EGFR/ErbB1, ErbB2/HER2/neu, ErbB3/HER3 and ErbB4/HER4) of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have long been implicated in PCa initiation and progression, but inhibitors of ErbB1 and ErbB2 (prototypic family members) fared poorly in PCa clinical trials.
272 21984704 In a mouse model in which 7A7 (an anti-murine EGFR Ab) and AG1478 (an EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) displayed potent antimetastatic activities, depletion experiments revealed that only in the case of the Ab, the effect was dependent on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.
273 22161825 Given their importance in tumour progression, compared with most normal adult tissues and their links with resistance to chemotherapy and anti-endocrine therapy, Erb-B receptors (most notably Erb-B2) have been exploited as therapeutic targets.

282 23055194 HER2/neu peptide-based vaccines can eliminate human tumors overexpressing the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu), but the efficacy of this therapeutic strategy is suboptimal.
283 23055194 To evaluate whether immunization with a HSP65-HER2 fusion peptide could selectively eliminate HER2(+) B16 melanoma cells in a xenograft tumor mouse model, a HSP65-HER2 fusion peptide was incubated with immature dendritic cells (iDCs) in vitro to determine whether loading of iDCs with HSP65-HER2 could induce the expression of the immunomodulatory cell surface molecule, CD86.
284 23055194 The results indicated that loading of iDCs with HSP65-HER2 induced the expression of CD86 in vitro, suggesting that the hybrid antigen was able to stimulate an immune response.
