We examined the frequency of p53 mutations in 38 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), using both a yeast functional assay and a conventional immunohistochemical staining method (IHC) to detect p53 mutations.We also explored the clinical importance of p53 mutations in oropharyngeal SCC. An a

A possible novel mechanism of cross-resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) in the doxorubicin-resistant ovarian-cancer cell line A2780-DX3, which displays atypical multidrug resistance, is presented. A2780-DX3 is found to be more resistant than the parental line A2780 in terms of CDDP-induced cytotoxicity a
The role of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) expression in sensitivity to N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4HPR or fenretinide) as well as on the tumorigenicity of human ovarian carcinoma cells was examined. Two human ovarian cancer cell lines, A2780 and IGROV-1, with a 10-fold difference in sensitivity t
Multiple renal cell tumours from three unrelated patients have been analysed for loss of heterozygosity of 3p, mutation of VHL, and chromosome 7 and 17 imbalances. Loss of 3p alleles is characteristic for clear cell type tumours and the combination of 17, 117 for chromophilic cell type tumours. Thus
Inactivation of tumour suppressor gene(s) (TSGs) on 3p appears to be a critical event in the pathogenesis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CC-RCC). Analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in sporadic RCC samples has implicated roles for TSGs in three specific regions of 3p in RCC development: (1
