Chen et al. first reported the association of CEP55 with p110 in vitro (Figure 1.12A) [247]. They showed that the interaction between CEP55 and p110 enables stability of the catalytic subunit causing increased AKT activation by increase in S473 phosphorylation [247]. Chen et al. independently also demonstrated that the CEP55/PIK3CA interaction might be facilitated by VEGF-A which enables CEP55’s localization to the plasma membrane harboring PI3K complex [248]. Hwang et al. reported that Fibulin-5, an extracellular matrix protein, increases AKT activation in a CEP55-dependent manner [249]. However, an interplay between VEGF-A and Fibulin-5 in promoting CEP55-dependent AKT activation is yet to be determined. Though, such interplay will be …show more content…
Further in vivo investigation is required for understanding the mechanisms mediating the Recently, consistent to our zebrafish model, CEP55 has been linked to vertebrate neural function [253]. Tsai et al. using mevinphos injection into the rostral ventrolateral medulla of rats, as a model for organophosphate poisoning, illustrated that CEP55 induced an increase in the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. They demonstrated that hyperactivity of PI3K/AKT pathway resulted in upregulation of the nitric oxide synthase II pathway, a reduction of smooth muscle tension in the blood vessels and progressive hypotension [253]. Collectively, this report suggests a definitive role of CEP55 in brain-stem mediated cardiovascular regulation. In cancer settings, Chen et al. demonstrated that CEP55 overexpression is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and lung adenocarcinoma and results in promoting invasion and cell migration via upregulation of the PI3K/AKT pathway [247, 248]. As discussed previously, VEGF-A persuades CEP55 expression and hence PI3K/AKT pathway in a dose dependent manner in lung cancer cell lines. Notably, VEGF-A stimulate translocation of CEP55 to the plasma membrane from cytoplasm [248]. In addition, VEGF-A is a compelling stimulator of endothelial cell vascular permeability, motility, proliferation and angiogenesis with well-established role in cancer [250]. Consistently,
Cancer, medically called ‘tumorigenesis’ (Thaker, Lutgendorf, & Sood, 2007, p.430) occurs when cells in the body orient themselves for malignant growth. Such cells show ‘self-sufficiency in growth signals’, are ‘insensitive to anti-growth signals’ and have ‘limitless replicative potential’ (Thaker, Lutgendorf, & Sood, 2007, p.430). Once a particular set of cells become malignant, the malignancy can spread to other set of cells in different organs due to ‘crosstalk’ between the affected cells and their surrounding ‘tissues’ and ‘micro-environments’(Thaker, Lutgendorf, & Sood, 2007, p.430).

For example, Connexin 43 has an effect on cell proliferation, particularly in the testes, which aid in the development of sperm cells [2]. They form a network that provides an environment to foster proper growth and development. Again, this is widely expressed in cases of tumor growth in the area.

Angiogenesis must be present for this occur, allowing cancer to spread to the blood, "thus the higher the density of new blood vessels within some tumors, the higher is the risk of metastasis of that tumor" (Mandal, 2014). Tumors have been documented to grow and spread without a direct blood supply and due to this physicians' are trying to discover ways to block tumor angiogenesis by investigating natural and synthetic inhibitors called "antiangiogenic agents" (National Cancer Institute, 2011). The goal is to slow the growth of cancer or prevent the disease entirely. According to the National Cancer Institute, "when vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and other endothelial growth factors bind to their receptors on endothelial cells, signals within these cells are initiated that promote the growth and survival of new blood vessels" (2011, p. 1).
Cancer is listed as the second most common cause of death in western countries; particularly, in adults. Though it has a long antiquity, its prevalence and incidence today is pervasive and the war on cancer has not been promising. Malignant neoplasia is characterized by uncontrolled growth and the ability to metastasize or spread from the original site. Cancer results from mutations that promote cell proliferation and inhibit cell adhesion (metastasis). According to the National Cancer Institute (2016), “Cancer can also spread regionally,
C-Akt, a serine-threonine kinase is one target of PI39K. C-Akt is the prototypical member of a mammalian Akt isoform family. The regulation to Akt may be phosphorylation or direct binding the Akt pleckstrin homology domain with PI39K lipid products. PI39K-independent Akt stimuli had been identified [3]. AMG 319 inhibited basal AKT phosphorylation and proliferation in lymphoid tumor cells [1].

Both of these events occur because of interactions between the cancer cells and the stromal microenvironment (Weinberg et al., 2014). The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and regulation of cell mesenchymal integrity are require steps (Bonnomet et al., 2010; Woessner, 1991). As known that matric metalloproteins (MMPs) are play an important role on ECM degradation. Type IV collagenase and gelatinase (MMP-2 or MMP-9) are major proteases for ECM degradation leading to migration and intravasation (Martin et al., 2007). Several junction proteins, such as E-cadherin and Vascular-Endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), are regular the integrity of cell-cell content and cell-mesenchymal contact (Fleming et al., 2000; Micalizzi et al., 2010). During cancer cells leave the original tumor organ to migrate to the target metastasis organ process, adhesion molecules (e.g., integrin-1 and E-selectin) play a key role in regulating the adhesion of tumor cells to endothelium cells (Yates et al., 2014; Okegawa et al., 2002). On the other hand, when cancer cells leave the original tumor organ to migrate to circulate system by intravasation, then they extravasation into the circulatory system to migrate to the target metastasis organ. The regulation of migration, invasion and adhesion may be an effective strategy for improving the prognosis of
The pathophysiology of hypertension (HTN) is best explained clearly if you have an understanding of how blood pressure (BP) works in the body. BP is seen as the function of both cardiac output (CO) in the human system and systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Cardiac output (CO) is made up of both heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV). SV in turn depends on contractility and preload of the system. SVR relies on contractility and afterload. There is literature that supports molecular and cellular levels relating to effects on blood pressure in terms of genetic make-up. Changes in any of these processes have the ability to alter CO or SVR, causing BP alteration and HTN.
The feature of fluorine has delayed to develop since it has a feature of reactivity that eats away the normal react container. This has paused on a development of discovery of fluorine but during the WW2 (1939-1945), America begun to deal a huge quantities of uranium trifluoride in order to develop the atomic bomb. From this point, the fluorine started to develop rapidly than the period time when it has no commercial productions of
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide as it can develop in almost any organ or tissue. Significant advances in understanding the cellular basis of cancer and the underlying biological mechanisms of tumour has been vastly improved in the recent years (Jiang et al. 1994). Cancer is a genetic disease which requires a series of mutation during mitosis to develop, its characteristics can be associated with their ability to grow and divide abnormal cells uncontrollable while in the mean time invade and cause nearby blood vessels to serve its need. Even though many people are affected by cancer today, the abilities which cancer cells have make it hard to find a single effective treatment for cancer. The focus of research now lies
In Australia, the reasonableness and effectiveness of folic acid being mandatorily fortified to support healthy pregnancy when considering the occurrence of NTDS in Australian children due to the amount their mothers have consumed of folic acid during pregnancy. The main purpose for creating a mandatory policy to include folic acid to the wheat flour of non-organic bread in Australia is to reduce the incidence of NTDs across the nation. Substantial rates of NTDs occur worldwide as significantly more folate is needed early in pregnancy than in other life stages. This early stage of pregnancy is often when women are unaware that they are pregnant. The folate is required for the development of the embryonic neural tube, which develops into
