Association of combined p73 and p53 genetic variants with tumor HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
p53 and p73 interact with human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 oncoproteins. The interplay
between p53 and p73 and HPV16 may lead to deregulation of cell cycle and apoptosis,
through which inflammation/immune responses control ...
Genotypes and haplotypes of the VEGF gene and survival in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2010-08-16)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major mediator of angiogenesis involving
in carcinogenesis, including lung cancer. We hypothesized that VEGF polymorphisms
may affect survival outcomes among locally advanced ...
Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
may contribute to carcinogenesis. We genotyped five potentially functional PIK3R1
and mTOR SNPs in 1116 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) ...
Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in ERCC4 and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
Excision repair cross-complementation group 4 gene (ERCC4/XPF) plays an important
role in nucleotide excision repair and participates in removal of DNA interstrand
cross-links and DNA double-strand breaks. Single nucleotide ...
Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway
involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using
data derived from published genome-wide association ...
Genetic variants of NOXA and MCL1 modify the risk of HPV16-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(BMC cancer, 2012-05)
The cooperation between phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced protein 1 (NOXA) and
myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) is critical in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Human
papillomavirus 16 (HPV16), by inducing p53 and pRb-E2F ...
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of stemness genes predicted to regulate RNA splicing, microRNA and oncogenic signaling are associated with prostate cancer survival.
(Carcinogenesis, 2018-07)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease, with
variation in outcomes only partially predicted by grade and stage. Additional tools
to distinguish indolent from aggressive disease are needed. ...
Effects of FOXO genotypes on longevity: a biodemographic analysis.
(J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2010-12)
Based on data from 760 centenarians and 1060 middle-age controls (all Han Chinese),
this article contributes biodemographic insights and syntheses concerning the magnitude
of effects of the FOXO genotypes on longevity. We ...
Provider specialty and atrial fibrillation treatment strategies in United States community practice: findings from the ORBIT-AF registry.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-07-18)
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to increase; however,
there are limited data describing the division of care among practitioners in the
community and whether care differs depending on provider ...
A randomized Phase 2 trial of telavancin versus standard therapy in patients with uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: the ASSURE study.
(BMC Infect Dis, 2014-05-23)
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is a common infection associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. Telavancin is a bactericidal lipoglycopeptide
active against Gram-positive pathogens, including ...
