## Abstract Malignant gliomas are common primary tumors of the central nervous system. The prognosis of patients with malignant glioma is poor in spite of current intensive therapy and thus novel therapeutic modalities are necessary. Imatinib mesylate, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is effective in t

## Abstract Cardiotoxin III (CTX III), a basic polypeptide with 60 amino acid residues isolated from __Naja naja atra__ venom, has been reported to have anticancer activity. The molecular effects of CTX III on HLβ60 cells were dissected in the present study. We found that the antiproliferative acti
## Abstract Recent studies revealed that the MEK/ERK module of the mitogenβactivated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades is upβregulated in the early stages of 1Ξ±,25βdihydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1,25D~3~)βinduced monocytic differentiation of human leukemia cells HL60. In the present study, we invest
Human monocytic leukemia U937 cells undergo apoptosis when treated with antitumor drugs, such as etoposide, camptothecin and mitomycin C. The molecular mechanism of the drug-induced apoptosis is not well understood. In this study, we found that 2-deoxyglucose (2DG), an analog of D-glucose and an ind
Activator protein-1 (AP1) regulates the promoter activity of a large number of genes associated with developmental, proliferative, inflammatory, and homeostatic processes in human connective tissue cells. Some of these genes (e.g., cyclooxygenase-2) are regulated by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibi
