DAP1 negatively regulates autophagy induced by cardamonin in SKOV3 cells.
This study aimed to investigate whether it is relevant for DAP1 in proliferation inhibition and autophagy induced by cardamonin in tumor cells. Using online bioinformatics tools, we found that DAP1 expression is closely related to the survival of patients with ovarian cancer. Our study showed that autophagy induced by cardamonin was associated with mTOR inhibition, and DAP1 was involved in this process. Silence of DAP1 decreased cell proliferation but enhanced antiproliferative effect of cardamonin in SKOV3 cells. The level of autophagy was elevated by DAP1 silencing in SKOV3 cells. Notably, cardamonin showed higher autoph...

A novel therapeutic drug for colon cancer: EpCAM scFv-truncated protamine (tp)-siRNA.
Abstract Colon cancer is a type of malignant tumor that causes considerable mortality worldwide. Epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (EpCAM), a tumor-associated antigen of colon tumors, is a target for colon cancer therapy. EpCAM-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been applied in human colon cancer since the 1990s; however, the therapeutic effects are limited. EpCAM activates nuclear signaling pathways by releasing its intracellular domain (EpICD). The released EpICD stimulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is also strongly associated with tumorigenesis. EpCAM is also a target gene of the W...
