Simvastatin and Panitumumab in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT: RATIONALE: Simvastatin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving simvastatin together with panitumumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well simvastatin given together with panitumumab works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.

Randomized Phase III Trial of Neoadjuvant HER2 Therapy in Breast Cancer

Project description:<p>This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel and trastuzumab with or without lapatinib to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II or stage III breast cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving paclitaxel with trastuzumab and/or lapatinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known which regimen is more effective in treating patients with breast cancer.</p>

Effect of simvastatin on pancreatic cancer cells

Project description:The aim of our study was to assess the impact of simvastatin on the amount of cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs), which are implicated in many biological processes including proliferation, inflammation, carcinogenesis, apoptosis, necrosis or growth arrest. Human pancreatic cancer cells MiaPaCa-2 were treated with simvastatin (6 and 12 _M) for 24 hours. Changes in expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in the simvastatin-treated cells were examined by DNA microarray analysis. The treatment of the cells with simvastatin increased their intracellular content of LDs, partially due to the uptake of cholesterol and triacylglycerides from medium; but in particular, due to enhanced synthesis of triacylglycerides as proved by detection of significant overexpression of genes related to de novo synthesis of triacylglycerides and phospholipids. Further, simvastatin markedly influenced expression of genes directly affecting cell proliferation and signaling.
