Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) constitute a family of at least 9 members which act through high-affinity tyrosine-kinase receptors encoded by 4 distinct genes. In humans, the FGFRl gene is located in chromosomal region 8 ~1 2 . I t s amplification and expression were examined in a panel of I10 brea

## Abstract Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is 1 of the most common cancers worldwide. In our study, cDNA microarray comprising 14,803 genes was employed to identify geneβspecific expression profile in 6 paired samples of ESCC. Nine genes identified were commonly upregulated and 36 downre
Phenethylisothiocyanate (PEITC), a potential cancer chemopreventive agent, induces colon cancer cell death, but the mechanism is not entirely clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to further clarify the molecular effects of PEITC in causing death of human colon adenocarcinoma cells. When incub
The functional role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in epithelium-derived human colonic carcinoma cells was investigated by transfection with plasmid pUCDS3, which contained synthetic human EGF encoding sequences, into two human colonic carcinoma cell types with dissimilar phenotypic properties: th
The production in colon cancer of interferon-gamma (IFN-β₯), a type-1 T-helper (TH1) cytokine, is considered as a marker of good prognosis. We asked whether interleukin-18 (IL-18), which strongly induces IFN-β₯ and regulates Fas ligand (Fas-L)-dependent cytotoxicity, may play a role in colon homeostas
