New trends in cell and molecular biology of the head and neck cancer
Fík, Zdeněk ; Chovanec, Martin (advisor) ; Komínek, Pavel (referee) ; Ludvíková, Marie (referee)
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are still challenging despite progress in the oncological treatment. Study of the molecular biology allows to deeply characterize tumor properties and to predict the prognosis for affected patients. Nowadays there are many drugs clinically tested in the group of targeted therapy medicine Experimental work comprised both in vitro and in situ assays, being performed thanks to the collaboration between a number of departments of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University in Prague, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Ludwig-Maxmillian University Munich. Galectin-1 is important inductor of the myofibroblasts/cancer associated fibroblasts. These fibroblasts are regarded as negative prognostic markers thanks to their capability of invasive cancer cells induction. On the other hand, Galectin-9 is not present in the carcinoma and in the case of dysplasia, its expression indicate aberrant features together with aberrant expression of keratin 14 and 19. Except from galectins using as prognostic markers, we focused on the galectins as a therapeutics instruments as well. Presented work with mutant variants of galectin-2 proved their effect on both pharmacodynamics and...
