HRG inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by inducing macrophage polarization and vessel normalization through downregulation of PlGF

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Damya Laoui

Polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to a proangiogenic/immune-suppressive (M2-like) phenotype and abnormal, hypoperfused vessels are hallmarks of malignancy, but their molecular basis and interrelationship remains enigmatic. We report that ...

Metal Phosphorus Complexes as Antitumor Agents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Alexey Nazarov

Phosphorus-based ligands are an extremely important class of ligand and they have found many applications, especially in homogeneous catalysis. In addition, a phosphine ligand is found in a gold drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Since metal compound ...

Characterization of New Potential Anticancer Drugs Designed To Overcome Glutathione Transferase Mediated Resistance

Paul Joseph Dyson, Wee Han Ang, Jie Zhang

Resistance against anticancer drugs remains a serious obstacle in cancer treatment. Here we used novel strategies to target microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) and glutathione transferase pi (GSTP) that are often overexpressed in tumors and confer ...

Polynuclear Ruthenium, Osmium and Gold Complexes. The Quest for Innovative Anticancer Chemotherapeutics

Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov, Andrew Douglas Phillips

Polynuclear compounds are a relatively new and successful approach in metal-based cancer chemotherapy as typified by the trinuclear Pt compound BBR3464 which was evaluated in clinical trials. In this review, we discuss newer developments of polynuclear rut ...

{(1R,2R,4R)-4-Methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine}oxalatoplatinum(II): A Novel Enantiomerically Pure Oxaliplatin Derivative Showing Improved Anticancer Activity in Vivo

Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov

Novel derivatives of the clinically established anticancer drug oxaliplatin were synthesized. Cytotoxicity of the compounds was studied in six human cancer cell lines by means of the MTT assay. Additionally, most promising complexes were also investigated ...

Thiophenolato-bridged dinuclear arene ruthenium complexes: a new family of highly cytotoxic anticancer agents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava

New cationic diruthenium complexes of the type [(arene)2Ru2(SPh)3]+, arene being C6H6, p-iPrC6H4Me, C6Me6, C6H5R, where R = (CH2)nOC(O)C6H4-p-O(CH2)6CH3 or (CH2)nOC(O)CH:CHC6H4-p-OCH3 and n = 2 or 4, are obtained from the reaction of the corresponding prec ...

Procentriole assembly revealed by cryo-electron tomography

Paul Guichard

Centrosomes are cellular organelles that have a major role in the spatial organisation of the microtubule network. The centrosome is comprised of two centrioles that duplicate only once during the cell cycle, generating a procentriole from each mature cent ...

Synthesis of Glycomimetics as Potential Anti-Cancer Agents

Annabelle Gillig

Cancer cells exhibit different properties that make them dangerous to the host, such as the ability to invade other tissues and the abnormal response to the control mechanisms that regulate the division of normal cells, which allow them to divide in a rela ...

Self-assembling SAS-6 multimer is a core centriole building block

Paul Guichard

Centrioles are conserved microtubule-based organelles with 9-fold symmetry that are essential for cilia and mitotic spindle formation. A conserved structure at the onset of centriole assembly is a "cartwheel" with 9-fold radial symmetry and a central tubul ...
