BH3 inhibitor sensitivity and Bcl-2 dependence in primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells

BH3 mimetic drugs may be useful to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) but the sensitivity of primary tumor cells has not been fully evaluated. Here B-lineage ALL cell cultures derived form a set of primary tumors were studied with respect to sens...

Supersensitivity of Primary ALL Cells to BH3 Mimetics

BH3 mimetic drugs may be useful to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) but the sensitivity of primary tumor cells has not been fully evaluated. Here, B-lineage ALL cell cultures derived from a set of primary tumors were studied with respect to se...

CYP3A5 Functions as a Tumor Suppressor in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Regulating mTORC2/Akt Signaling

CYP3A5 is a cytochrome P450 protein that functions in the liver metabolism of many carcinogens and cancer drugs. However, it has not been thought to directly affect cancer progression. In our present study, we challenge this perspective by demonstratin...

Role of CYP3A5 in the Metastasis of HCC

CYP3A5 is a cytochrome P450 protein that functions in the liver metabolism of many carcinogens and cancer drugs. However, it has not been thought to directly affect cancer progression. In this study, we challenge this perspective by demonstrating that...

Intracrine androgens and AKR1C3 activation confer resistance to enzalutamide in prostate cancer

The introduction of enzalutamide and abiraterone has led to improvement in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, acquired resistance to enzalutamide and abiraterone therapies frequently develops within a sho...
