Angiogenesis, development of new blood vessels, is essential for wound healing and tumor growth. A potentially important side effect of anti-angiogenic therapy can be delayed wound healing. In this study we address this issue by using a novel in vivo method utilizing fibrin containing dual porous plexiglass chambers (Fibrin Z-Chambers; F-ZC) to inv...

The p53 tumor suppressor is activated in the cellular response to stress. Mdm2 inhibits p53-dependent transactivation and promotes degradation of p53 by the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway. The present studies demonstrate that p53 binds directly to the nuclear Lyn tyrosine kinase. Lyn increases p53 levels and stimulates p53-mediated transcription by a...

We have previously described a novel mechanism of p53 dysfunction, characterized by repression of mRNA and protein expression effectively leading to functional inactivation of wt p53 in SW-1736 human anaplastic thyroid cancer cells (pseudo-null p53). Here we demonstrated that treatment of SW-1736 cells with sub-cytotoxic concentrations of FR901228,...

Between 1955 and 1963 millions of people were worldwide vaccinated with polio-vaccines that were contaminated with the simian virus 40 (SV40). This tumor-inducing virus has subsequently been detected in several human tumors. In Austria, polio mass vaccination started in winter 1961/62 with a presumably SV40-free British vaccine. Thus, we hypothesiz...

Small cell lung cancer is a common malignancy found in smokers. It has a poor long-term prognosis despite initial sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation. The clinical features of small cell lung cancer are unique among lung cancers and other neuroendocrine tumors. In order to better understand the pathogenesis of small cell lung cancer, there ha...

It is critical to discover the mechanisms of normal cell cycle regulation if we are to fully understand what goes awry in cancer cells. The normal eukaryotic cell tightly regulates the activity of origins of DNA replication so that the genome is duplicated exactly once per cell cycle. Over the last ten years much has been learned concerning the cel...
