Investigations of the mechanisms of the cancer-preventive activity of apigenin (4',5,7,-trihydroxyflavone), a plant-derived, anti-carcinogenic flavonoid, showed its interference with cell proliferation, survival, and gap junctional coupling. We used a model based on non-invasive HeLa wild-type cells

## Abstract Taxol is extensively used clinically for chemotherapy of patients with ovarian, breast, and lung cancer. Although taxol induces apoptosis of cancer cells, its exact mechanism of action is not yet known. To determine the mechanism of action of taxol in ovarian cancer, we tested the effec
## Abstract Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid crucial for the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer. Identification of LPAβinduced biomarkers is necessary for predicting prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. Here we report periostin, an extracellular matrix protein, as an LPAβ
## Abstract Invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) via an extracellular protease cascade that includes urokinaseβtype plasminogen activator (uPA), plasmin, and the metalloprotease (MMP) family of collagenases. In this study, treatment of oral SCC cells with
## Abstract Intraβhepatic invasion is a key feature of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. We have shown that human liver myofibroblasts induce invasion of HCC cells through Matrigel, via the secretion of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In our study, we investigated the role of matrix metal
