Psoriasin promotes invasion, aggregation and survival of pancreatic cancer cells; association with disease progression. |
T2 |
120-229 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Psoriasin (S100A7) is an 11-kDa small calcium binding protein initially isolated from psoriatic skin lesions. |
T3 |
230-396 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It belongs to the S100 family of proteins which play an important role in a range of cell functions including proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. |
T4 |
397-513 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Aberrant Psoriasin expression has been implicated in a range of cancers and is often associated with poor prognosis. |
T5 |
514-642 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This study examined the role of Psoriasin on pancreatic cancer cell functions and the implication in progression of the disease. |
T6 |
643-799 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Expression of Psoriasin was determined in a cohort of pancreatic tissues comprised of 126 pancreatic tumours and 114 adjacent non-tumour pancreatic tissues. |
T7 |
800-1026 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Knockdown and overexpression of Psoriasin in pancreatic cancer cells was performed using specifically constructed plasmids, which either had anti-Psoriasin ribozyme transgene or the full length human Psoriasin coding sequence. |
T8 |
1027-1114 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Psoriasin knockdown and overexpression was verified using conventional RT-PCR and qPCR. |
T9 |
1115-1256 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The effect of manipulating Psoriasin expression on pancreatic cancer cell functions was assessed using several in vitro cell function assays. |
T10 |
1257-1420 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Local invasive pancreatic cancers extended beyond the pancreas expressed higher levels of Psoriasin transcripts compared with the cancers confined to the pancreas. |
T11 |
1421-1505 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Primary tumours with distant metastases exhibited a reduced expression of Psoriasin. |
T12 |
1506-1623 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Psoriasin overexpression cell lines exhibited significantly increased growth and migration compared to control cells. |
T13 |
1624-1803 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, Psoriasin overexpression resulted in increased pancreatic cancer cell invasion which was associated with upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9. |
T14 |
1804-1923 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Overexpression of Psoriasin also promoted aggregation and survival of pancreatic cancer cells when they lost anchorage. |
T15 |
1924-2028 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Taken together, higher expression of Psoriasin was associated with local invasion in pancreatic cancers. |
T16 |
2029-2169 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Psoriasin expression is associated with pancreatic cancer cell growth, migration, cell-matrix adhesion, and invasion via regulation of MMPs. |
T17 |
2170-2319 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As such, the proposed implications of Psoriasin in invasion, disease progression and as a potential therapeutic target warrant further investigation. |
