Prevention of early-onset familial/hereditary colon cancer: New models and mechanistic biomarkers (Review)

Abstract: Abstract. Human colon cancer is a multi-factorial, multi-step disease wherein genetic and dietary factors represent important regulators of initiation, promotion and progression. While the etiology of sporadic colon cancer remains largely unidentified, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) represent predisposing genetic syndromes for early-onset familial/hereditary colon cancer. These syndromes are characterized by germ-line mutations in the adenomatous polyposi… Show more

“…The status of these quantitative biomarkers was determined following previously published methods (14)(15)(16). The data were expressed as the mean of five time points during the exponential growth phase of 120 h, and as the number of viable cells at day 5 post-seeding of 1.0x10 5 cells, respectively.…”

“…published data generated by different combinations on other cell culture models (14,15,23). In a recent study a novel miRNA based mechanism for positive regulation of APC has been proposed from the data generated from colon carcinoma cell lines as well as from limited patient samples (37).…”

“…These preclinical cell culture models exhibit spontaneous immortalization as evidenced by telomerase re-expression, loss of homeostatic growth control as evidenced by hyper-proliferation, aberrant cell cycle progression and downregulated cellular apoptosis, and persistent cancer risk as evidenced by anchorage-independent (AI) growth in vitro and development of tumors in vivo. These colonic epithelial cell culture models for the FAP syndrome have also been utilized as novel experimental approaches to examine the efficacy of selecting mechanistically distinct chemo-preventive agents (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”
