Rehemtulla","doi":"10.1593/NEO.08EDI","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1593/NEO.08EDI","url":null,"abstract":"Neoplasia was launched in 1999 with the mission of providing a high-quality publication venue for the rapid dissemination of novel and exciting advances in cancer research. The journal has grown, in a very rapid fashion, from a bimonthly publication to a monthly publication by publishing a broad-based range of articles ranging from apoptosis to angiogenesis, as shown in Table 1. This table categorizes articles published by Neoplasia by general topic for publication years 2004 to 2006. Cancer genetics, cell and tumor biology, experimental therapeutics, and cancer imaging continue to be significant components of article growth published over these years. The number of submissions and published articles has continually increased over the year, and, next year, Neoplasia will enter its ninth year of publication (Vol. 9). The success of Neoplasia has affirmed to the editorial staff and editorial board that there was and continues to be a significant need for a broad-based cancer journal. During the past year, Neoplasia has further adapted and taken the lead in online peer-reviewed publication of cancer research articles. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Table 1 \u0000 \u0000Major Research Topics Published in Neoplasia from 2004 to 2006. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000In 2006, Neoplasia adopted the open access (OA) model for all articles published. This allows for all articles to be made available free to the scientific and layman communities through online electronic access. All articles are linked through PubMed (www.PubMEd.gov) to a Web-based database, which hosts all Neoplasia articles published to date. Moreover, beginning in 2007, all Neoplasia articles published in Neoplasia will also be freely available through the Biomedcentral portal (http://www.biomedcentral.com/) beginning on the day of publication, rather than after 6 to 12 months like most journals. Of 8700 selected journals currently covered in Web of Science, only 160 are available through Biomedcentral. The effect of immediate OA on the impact of Neoplasia is anticipated to dramatically improve the citation impact factor in terms of the frequency with which an article is cited in the literature (http://dlib.org/dlib/june04/harnad/06harnad.html) [301]. Overall, OA will provide for dramatically increased readership due to access to articles, which would traditionally be unavailable due to costs associated with access tolls to the journal in which it was published because their affiliated institution could not afford the price of subscription. Overall, providing OA to all past, present, and future articles published in Neoplasia should significantly improve the quality and speed at which cancer research advances will be made due to more rapid dissemination of knowledge. \u0000 \u0000Neoplasia is committed to meeting the challenges and emerging needs of the cancer research scientific community. This commitment has been met through the early establishment of a rapid online peer-review system, which has facilitated review of submitted articles.

Elevated HPSE expression contributes to melanoma progression; however, further augmentation of HPSE presence can inhibit tumorigenicity. HPSE enzymatically cleaves heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains (HS) from proteoglycans. HS act as both low-affinity FGF2 receptors and coreceptors in the formation of high-affinity FGF2 receptors. We have investigated HPSE's ability to modulate FGF2 activity through HS remodeling. Extensive HPSE degradation of human metastatic melanoma cells (70W) inhibited FGF2 binding. Unexpectedly, treatment of 70W cells with low HPSE concentrations enhanced FGF2 binding. In addition, HPSE-unexposed cells did not phosphorylate extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) or focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in response to FGF2. Conversely, in cells treated with HPSE, FGF2 stimulated ERK and FAK phosphorylation. Secondly, the presence of soluble HPSE-degraded HS enhanced FGF2 binding and ERK phosphorylation at low HS concentrations. Higher concentrations of soluble HS inhibited FGF2 binding, but FGF2 signaling through ERK remained enhanced. Soluble HS were unable to support FGF2-stimulated FAK phosphorylation irrespective of HPSE treatment. Finally, cell exposure to HPSE or to HPSE-degraded HS modulated FGF2-induced angiogenesis in melanoma. In conclusion, these effects suggest relevant mechanisms for the HPSE modulation of melanoma growth factor responsiveness and tumorigenicity.","PeriodicalId":48716,"journal":{"name":"Neoplasia","volume":"2 1","pages":"596-606"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2006-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79422870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We reported previously that nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) was constitutively activated in ATL cells, although expression of the viral proteins was barely detectable, including Tax, which was known to persistently activate NF-kappaB. Here we demonstrate that ATL cells that do not express detectable Tax protein exhibit constitutive IkappaB kinase (IKK) activity. Transfection studies revealed that a dominant-negative form of IKK1, and not of IKK2 or NF-kappaB essential modulator (NEMO), suppressed constitutive NF-kappaB activity in ATL cells. This IKK activity was accompanied by elevated expression of p52, suggesting that the recently described noncanonical pathway of NF-kappaB activation operates in ATL cells. We finally show that specific inhibition of NF-kappaB by a super-repressor form of IkappaBalpha (SR-IkappaBalpha) in HTLV-I-infected T cells results in cell death regardless of Tax expression, providing definitive evidence of an essential role for NF-kappaB in the survival of ATL cells. In conclusion, the IKK complex is constitutively activated in ATL cells through a cellular mechanism distinct from that of Tax-mediated IKK activation. Further elucidation of this cellular mechanism should contribute to establishing a rationale for treatment of ATL.","PeriodicalId":48716,"journal":{"name":"Neoplasia","volume":"35 1","pages":"266-78"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85590162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we applied high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) on cDNA microarrays for analysis of prostate cancer cell lines. CGH microarrays identified most of the alterations detected by classic chromosomal CGH, as well as a number of previously unreported alterations. Specific recurrent regions of gain (28) and loss (18) were found, and their boundaries defined with sub-megabasepair accuracy. The most common changes included copy number decreases at 13q, and gains at 1q and 5p. Refined mapping identified several sites, such as at 13q (33-44, 49-51, and 74-76 Mbp from the p-telomere), which matched with minimal regions of loss seen in extensive loss of heterozygosity mapping studies of large numbers of tumors. Previously unreported recurrent changes were found at 2p, 2q, 3p, and 17q (losses), and at 3q, 5p, and 6p (gains). Integration of genomic and transcriptomic data revealed the role of individual candidate target genes for genomic alterations as well as a highly significant (P <.0001) overall association between copy number levels and the percentage of differentially expressed genes. Across the genome, the overall impact of copy number on gene expression levels was, to a large extent, attributable to low-level gains and losses of copy number, corresponding to common deletions and gains of often large chromosomal regions.","PeriodicalId":48716,"journal":{"name":"Neoplasia","volume":"48 1","pages":"240-7"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88163352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
