Inhibition of Vesicular Glutamate Uptake by Rose Bengal-Related Compounds: Structure–Activity Relationship
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
Synaptic vesicular accumulation of glutamate is a vital initial step in glutamate transmission. We have previously shown that Rose Bengal, a polyhalogenated fluorescein analog, is a potent inhibitor of glutamate uptake ...
Establishment and characterization of UM-EC-2, a tamoxifen-sensitive, estrogen receptor-negative human endometrial carcinoma cell line,
(Elsevier, 1990-05)
UM-EC-2 was established from a patient with poorly differentiated stage IB endometrial carcinoma. This cell line produces tumors in nude mice that have the same histological features as the patient's tumor. UM-EC-2 cells ...
Association of genetic variation in tamoxifen-metabolizing enzymes with overall survival and recurrence of disease in breast cancer patients
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-06)
Tamoxifen has been a mainstay of adjuvant therapy for breast cancer for many years. We sought to determine if genetic variability in the tamoxifen metabolic pathway influenced overall survival in breast cancer patients ...
Consensus statement: Expedition Inspiration 2004 Breast Cancer Symposium ‘Breast Cancer – the Development and Validation of New Therapeutics’
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-03)
Evaluation of Novel Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-01)
The epidermal growth factor system is a well characterized growth factor receptor pathway, the deregulation of which has been be associated with neoplastic growth. Overexpression or amplification of the epidermal growth ...
A rapid attenuation of muscarinic agonist stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis precedes receptor sequestration in human SH-SY-5Y neuroblastoma cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
Agonist occupancy of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in human SH-SY-5Y neuroblastoma cells elicited two kinetically distinct phases of phosphoinositide hydrolysis when monitored by either an increased mass of inositol ...
Repeated haloperidol increases both calmodulin and a calmodulin-binding protein in rat striatum
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
Repeated treatment with the antipsychotic drug, haloperidol, leads to an increased behavioral sensitivity to dopamine agonists exhibited upon withdrawal from the drug. An increase in the particulate content of the endogenous ...
Regulation of Myo-Inositol Homeostasis in Differentiated Human NT2-N Neurons
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-05)
We have investigated the possible role of second messengers on inositol homeostasis in NT2-N cells, human central nervous system neurons obtained by terminal differentiation of teratocarcinoma precursors. Uptake of inositol ...
Clinical and Radiologic Assessments to Predict Breast Cancer Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-08)
To prospectively compare the ability of clinical examination, mammography, vascularity-sensitive ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine pathologic complete response (CR) in breast cancer patients ...
Pharmacological Characterization of 4-hydroxy- N -desmethyl Tamoxifen, a Novel Active Metabolite of Tamoxifen
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-05)
The antiestrogen tamoxifen is extensively metabolized in patients to form a series of compounds with altered affinity for estrogen receptors (ERs), the primary target of this drug. Furthermore, these metabolites exhibit a ...
