The Broad Spectrum HDAC Inhibitor PCI-24781 Induces Caspase- and ROS-Dependent Apoptosis and is Synergistic with Bortezomib in Lymphoma
We investigated the cytotoxicity and biology of the novel broad-spectrum hydroxamic acid-based histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), PCI-24781. PCI-24781 was studied alone and combined with bortez...

Enforced expression of PPP1R13L increases tumorigenesis and invasion through p53-dependent and p53-independent mechanisms.
PPP1R13L was initially identified as a protein that binds to the NF-κB subunit p65/RelA and inhibits its transcriptional activity. It also binds p53 and inhibits its action. One set of experim...

Far-infrared rays control prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo
We introduce a new effective method to control hormone refractory prostate cancer cells by using an activated rubber/resin form (RB), far-infrared ray emitter, with or without sodium butyrate (SB)....

14-3-3ζ is Amplified, Overexpressed and Possesses Oncogenic Activities in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Gene amplification, a common mechanism for oncogene activation in cancers, has been used in the discovery of novel oncogenes. DNA amplification is frequently observed in head and neck squamous cell...

Potential role of 2,2’-biphenylquinones in the carcinogenic/anti-cancer activity of dioxins
Modes of carcinogenicity for the well-known environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) have been investigated over the past several decades. However, the mechanisms underl...

Requirement of RIZ1 for cancer prevention by methyl-balanced diet
The typical Western diet is not balanced in methyl nutrients that regulate the level of the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and its derivative metabolite S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), which...

Iridium complex, a phosphorescent light-emitting diode material, serves as a novel chemical probe for imaging hypoxic tumor tissues
Iridium complex, a promising organic light-emitting diode for next generation television displays, emits phosphorescence. Phosphorescence is quenched by oxygen. We used this oxygen-quenching featur...

Diagnostic robustness of DNA microarrays in the classification of acute leukemia
Countless statistical methods have been described for the analysis of DNA microarrays, and each yields distinct results. This raises the question whether DNA microarrays are robust diagnostic tools...
