Increased drug permeability of a stiffened mycobacterial outer membrane in cells lacking MFS transporter Rv1410 and lipoprotein LprG

Georg Fantner, Haig Alexander Eskandarian

The major facilitator superfamily transporter Rv1410 and the lipoprotein LprG (Rv1411) are encoded by a conserved two-gene operon and contribute to virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rv1410 was originally postulated to function as a drug efflux pump, ...

The miR-96 and RAR gamma signaling axis governs androgen signaling and prostate cancer progression

Gerard Llimos Aubach

Expression levels of retinoic acid receptor gamma (NR1B3/RARG, encodes RAR gamma) are commonly reduced in prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, we sought to establish the cellular and gene regulatory consequences of reduced RAR gamma expression, and determine ...

Graphene nanowalls for high-performance chemotherapeutic drug sensing and anti-fouling properties

Giovanni De Micheli, Ioulia Tzouvadaki, Sandro Carrara, Nima Aliakbarinodehi

Improved sensitivity and continuous monitoring of therapeutic compounds are two of the most highlighted concerns for the treatment of malignant diseases, such as cancer. We demonstrated ultrasensitive screening of etoposide, a therapeutic compound widely-u ...

Nanoscale Sensors for Ultrasensitive Label-free Detection of Cancer Biomarkers and Monitoring of Therapeutic Compounds

Ioulia Tzouvadaki

Prostate cancer is a life-threatening malignant disease, one the most common cancer types in men and leading cause of death among men because of cancer. Considering the state of the art for the diagnosis of prostate cancer a man overall has to suffer uncom ...

Review of the role played by the photosensitizer's photobleaching during photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the combined administration of photosensitizing drugs and light to treat a variety of malignant, pre-malignant and also non-malignant diseases. The reactive species resulting from the excitation of the photosensitizer ...

In vivo evaluation of small-molecule thermoresponsive anticancer drugs potentiated by hyperthermia

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Emilia Paunescu

Hyperthermia used as an adjuvant with chemotherapy is highly promising in the treatment of certain cancers. Currently, the small molecule drugs used in combination with hyperthermia were not designed for this application. Herein, we report the evaluation o ...

Characterization of N-cadherin unbinding properties in non-malignant (HCV29) and malignant (T24) bladder cells

Andrzej Kulik

The expression of N-cadherin, characteristic of various cancers, very often leads to changes in the cells' adhesive properties. Thus, we sought to find out if N-cadherin expressed in various, but cancer-related cells, differs in its functional properties t ...

Non-Cytotoxic, Bifunctional EuIII and TbIII Luminescent Macrocyclic Complexes for Luminescence Resonant Energy- Transfer Experiments

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Caroline Vandevyver

A new macrocyclic ligand,

L^3

, has been synthesised, based on the cyclen framework grafted with three phenacyl light-harvesting groups and a C5-alkyl chain bearing a carboxylic acid function as a potential linker for biological material. Acidity constant ...
