Research area working at present

Current Research: The goal of present study is to elucidate the basic mechanisms underlying two stage hepatic cancers induced by Solt and Farber protocol with highlighting preventive interventions that can modulate the mechanism involved. Several reports indicate that polyamines are involved in regulating cellular differentiation and growth. Chemopreventive tools bring about many of their effects by interacting with nuclear receptors. These nuclear receptors are trans-activating factors that can regulate the expression of specific genes involved in differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. As mentioned earlier, it has become clear in the past few years that apoptosis and mitogenesis are equally important in maintaining cell number homeostasis; thus, in addition to cell proliferation, apoptosis has emerged as a critical target for prevention. Targeting NF-B by agents could be a promising strategy to enhance the anti-tumor activity of agents.

Given the fact that cancer development can be roughly divided into three stages of initiation, promotion and progression, control over this disease may only be achieved if molecular changes underlying each stage can be well characterized and recapitulated in animal models of carcinogenesis. Hence, animal models are significantly important and play a major role in recognition of new agents.
