Abstract The Fas/FasL system plays a central role in the physiological regulation of
apoptosis and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neoplasms and diseases …

Cancer is a disease characterized by a very little apoptosis, ie, genetically programmed cell
death. Aberrations in apoptotic pathways are central to tumorigenesis, tumor progression …

Head and neck cancer (HNC) accounts for more than 330,000 cancer deaths annually
worldwide. Despite late diagnosis being a major factor contributing to HNC mortality, no …

Populations in north central China are at high risk for gastric cancers (GC), and altered FAS‐
mediated cell signaling and/or apoptosis may contribute to this risk. We examined the …

Alternative splicing of mRNA precursors enables cells to generate different protein outputs
from the same gene depending on their developmental or homeostatic status. Its …

Purpose: To correlate the expression of Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) with clinicopathological
properties of gastric cancer (GC) and to evaluate any possible correlation between KLF4 …

Kisspeptin is an antimetastatic agent in some cancers that has also been associated with
lymphoid cell apoptosis, a phenomenon favoring metastases. Our aim was to determine the …

Objectives: To evaluate whether soluble Fas (sFas) in urine is an independent predictor of
non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: We performed a prospective chart …

Soluble Fas ligand (sFasL, sCD95L) and its specific soluble binders, soluble Fas receptor
(sFas, sCD95) and decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), have been investigated as possible clinical …

Gastrokine-2 is a putative gastric cancer-specific tumor suppressor gene, the loss of which is
known to be involved in the development and progression of gastric cancer, and restoration …
