Il-6 and MSH3 in colorectal carcinoma: Expression, relationship, and prognostic significance in 171 colorectal carcinoma cases by Elif Kolay Bayram, Betul Ogut, Mehmet Arda Inan, Ayse Dursun

“…Inflammation is a relatively uncommon but crucial contributor to its etiology, and inflammation is also thought to pose a risk in patients without a clinical diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. In cell lines, the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) causes a cytosolic shift in the mismatch repair protein MSH3, accompanied by functional loss. …”

Imaging the Met Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (Met) and Assessing Tumor Responses to a Met Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor in Human Xenograft Mouse Models with a [Tc] (AH-113018) or CY 5** (A... by Elaine M. Jagoda, Sibaprasad Bhattacharyya, Joseph Kalen, Lisa Riffle, Avrum Leeder, Stephanie Histed, Mark Williams, Karen J. Wong, Biying Xu, Lawrence P. Szajek, Osama Elbuluk, Fabiola Cecchi, Kristen Raffensperger, Meghana Golla, Donald P. Bottaro, Peter Choyke

“…A peptide targeting Met labeled with [ 99m Tc] had high affinity in vitro (K d = 3.3 nM) and detected relative changes in Met in human cancer cell lines. In vivo [ 99m Tc]-Met peptide (AH-113018) was retained in Met-expressing tumors, and high-expressing Met tumors (MKN-45) were easily visualized and quantitated using singlephoton emission computed tomography or optical imaging. …”
