TIMELESS Confers Cisplatin Resistance in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Activating the Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway and Promoting the Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition
Abstract This study investigated the expression, clinicopathological significance and mechanism of action of TIMELESS, a mammalian homolog of a Drosophila circadian rhythm gene, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry revealed TIMELESS was u...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract This study investigated the expression, clinicopathological significance and mechanism of action of TIMELESS, a mammalian homolog of a Drosophila circadian rhythm gene, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry revealed TIMELESS was upregulated in NPC cell lines (n=8 vs. NP69 cells), and freshly-frozen (n=6) and paraffin-embedded human NPC specimens (n=108vs. normal samples/non-tumor cells). TIMELESS expression was associated with T category ( P =0.002), N category ( P =0.001), clinical stage ( P |
