Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia activates the cyclooxygenase-2–prostaglandin E synthase axis

TL;DR: PTGES is a novel HIF-1alpha target gene, involved in prostaglandin E biosynthesis in the esophageal tumor hypoxic microenvironment, and this has implications in diverse tumors types, especially of squamous origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidermal growth factor receptor regulates aberrant expression of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3.

TL;DR: Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 is identified as the most up-regulated gene and it is identified for the first time that IGFBP-3 is an aberrantly regulated gene through the EGFR signaling pathway and it may modulate EGFR effects during carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

AKT induces senescence in primary esophageal epithelial cells but is permissive for differentiation as revealed in organotypic culture

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, and not the MEK/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway, is preferentially activated in EGFR-mediated esophageal epithelial hyperplasia, a premalignant lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ha-Ras(G12V) induces senescence in primary and immortalized human esophageal keratinocytes with p53 dysfunction.

TL;DR: In human esophageal keratinocytes, it was found that Ha-RasG12V induced senescence regardless of p53 status and telomerase activation, suggesting that Ras-mediated senescences may involve distinct mechanisms between human and mouse cells.
