The bone morphogenetic protein pathway is inactivated in the majority of sporadic colorectal cancersLiudmila L Kodach
Department of Gastroenterology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Gastroenterology 134:1332-41. 2008..The finding of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor 1a mutations in juvenile polyposis suggests that BMPs are important in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the BMP pathway in sporadic CRC...
Violacein synergistically increases 5-fluorouracil cytotoxicity, induces apoptosis and inhibits Akt-mediated signal transduction in human colorectal cancer cellsLiudmila L Kodach
Laboratory for Experimental Internal Medicine, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Carcinogenesis 27:508-16. 2006..Taken together, our findings suggest that violacein will be active in the treatment of colorectal tumors and offers new prospects for overcoming 5-FU resistance...
The bone morphogenetic protein pathway is active in human colon adenomas and inactivated in colorectal cancerLiudmila L Kodach
Center for Experimental and Molecular Medicine, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Cancer 112:300-6. 2008..Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), a subgroup within the TGFbeta superfamily, recently also have been implicated in CRC, but their precise role in CRC has yet to be investigated...
The effect of statins in colorectal cancer is mediated through the bone morphogenetic protein pathwayLiudmila L Kodach
Center for Experimental and Molecular Medicine, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Gastroenterology 133:1272-81. 2007..Statins induce bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) expression in bone cells. We have previously shown that BMPs act as tumor suppressors in CRC. We hypothesized that the action of statins in CRC involves the induction of BMPs...
Bone morphogenetic protein signalling in colorectal cancerJames C Hardwick
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
Nat Rev Cancer 8:806-12. 2008..Further evidence in mice suggests a primary role for mesenchymal loss of BMP signalling in hamartoma development. Here, we examine this evidence and question its relevance to sporadic colorectal carcinogenesis...
