Development Of Cell-Penetrating Peptides Targeting Nuclear And Extra-Nuclear Signaling Pathways In Cancer Cells, Panthita Kaewjanthong Jan 2019

Development Of Cell-Penetrating Peptides Targeting Nuclear And Extra-Nuclear Signaling Pathways In Cancer Cells, Panthita Kaewjanthong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Growth factors and hormones often mediate their biological effects through series of protein-protein interaction between cytoplasmic signaling molecules or transcription factors. Interfering of these protein-protein interactions has been shown to reduce or inhibit biological and growth responses to various growth factors and hormones. We previously demonstrated that progesterone receptor (PR) contains a polyproline domain (PPD) which directly interact to Src homology 3 (SH3) domain-containing molecules and expression of PR-PPD inhibits EGFR-mediated NSCLC cell proliferation. In this study, we investigated that the introduction of PR-PPD by cell-penetrating peptide could inhibit EGF-induced NSCLC cell proliferation. PR-PPD was attached to a cancer-specific CPP, …

Roles Of Lin28 Proteins In Cholangiocarcinoma, Nattapong Puthdee Jan 2019

Roles Of Lin28 Proteins In Cholangiocarcinoma, Nattapong Puthdee

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

LIN28 is an RNA-binding protein, a known as regulator of microRNAs biogenesis and play a role in multiple cellular functions such as stem cell maintenance, cell metabolism and implicated in oncogenesis. In cancer study, LIN28 protein is frequently expressed and associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor disease outcome. Previous studies have shown that paralog-LIN28B was upregulated in during CCA development. However, the role of LIN28B in cholangiocarcinogenesis remains largely unknown. The present study, we found LIN28B is overexpressed in CCA patients' tissues. Overexpression of LIN28B in cholangiocytes-MMNK-1 cells showed that LIN28B enhanced cell proliferation, clonogenic potential, and promoted epithelial-to mesenchymal …

Chemical Modifications Of Α-Mangostin For Cytotoxic Study On Lung Cancer Cell Lines, Nan Yadanar Lin Pyae

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

α-Mangostin is a natural oxygenated and prenylated xanthone, which is mainly isolated from the pericarps of Garcinia mangostana. It possesses numerous pharmacological properties and promising therapeutic effects. However, the limitations of α-mangostin such as highly hydrophobicity and poor bioavailability hider its therapeutic applications. To overcome these drawbacks of α-mangostin, chemical modifications have been performed to discover the improved analogs. Herein, two semi-synthetic approaches to obtain new α-mangostin derivatives were investigated by the modifications of the phenolic hydroxy groups at C-3 and C-6 positions involving Smiles rearrangement to install amine functional groups and the addition reaction of isocyanate to form the …
