Frontiers in Oncology 2019 October 11 [Link] Abstract Introduction: Globular C1q receptor (gC1qR/p32/HABP1) is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, particularly adenocarcinomas. This study investigated gC1qR expression in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and its pathophysiologic correlates in a surgical patient cohort. Methods: Tissue microarrays comprising 6 tumoral and 3 stromal cores from 265 patients with MPM (216 epithelioid, […]

Human Pathology 2019 August 22 [Link] Kawai T, Ogata S, Nakashima H, Urabe S, Murakami I, Hiroshima K Abstract Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. Malignant rhabdoid tumors, renal medullary carcinoma, and some synovial sarcomas show a loss of SMARCB1/INI1 protein, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. All of those tumors […]

Archives of Pharmacal Research 2019 August 19 [Link] Abstract Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), a chaperone protein associated with tumorigenesis and chemoresistance, has attracted significant attention as a potential therapeutic target for the development of anticancer drugs. Here, the effects of pifithrin-μ, an effective dual inhibitor of HSP70 and p53, on anticancer activities and epithelial-mesenchymal […]
