Journal Article
Down-Regulation of X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein Induces Apoptosis in Chemoresistant Human Ovarian Cancer Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Xiap down-regulation following adenoviral antisense expression induces apoptosis in the wild-type p53 cells, but not in the mutated or null cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oocyte-granulosa-theca cell interactions during preantral follicular development
TL;DR: Understanding the intraovarian mechanisms in the regulation of follicular growth and atresia during the preantral-early antral follicle transition may provide important insight into the pathophysiology and rational treatment of these conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth Differentiation Factor 9 Is Antiapoptotic during Follicular Development from Preantral to Early Antral Stage
Makoto Orisaka,Sanae Orisaka,Sanae Orisaka,Jin-Yi Jiang,Jesse Craig,Yifang Wang,Fumikazu Kotsuji,Benjamin K. Tsang +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that GDF-9 is antiapoptotic in preantral follicles and protects granulosa cells from undergoing apoptosis via activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gonadotropin and intra-ovarian signals regulating follicle development and atresia: the delicate balance between life and death.
Jesse Craig,Makoto Orisaka,Hongmei Wang,Sanae Orisaka,Winston E. Thompson,Cheng Zhu,Fumikazu Kotsuji,Benjamin K. Tsang +7 more
TL;DR: The intracellular protein prohibitin appears to have a dual role during folliculogenesis; acting as a cell survival factor in undifferentiated cells, and as a pro-apoptotic factor following differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of GLUT‐1 glucose transfer, cellular proliferation activity and grade of tumor correlate with [F‐18]‐fluorodeoxyglucose uptake by positron emission tomography in epithelial tumors of the ovary
Tetsuji Kurokawa,Yoshio Yoshida,Kazumi Kawahara,Tatsuro Tsuchida,Hidehiko Okazawa,Yasuhisa Fujibayashi,Yoshiharu Yonekura,Fumikazu Kotsuji +7 more
TL;DR: Gl glucose consumption, as determined by analysis of SUVs in FDG‐PET, may be a noninvasive biomarker for ovarian epithelial tumors.
