Targeting molecular signaling pathways of <i>Schistosoma haemotobium</i> infection in bladder cancer
1 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Since 1911 epidemiological evidence indicates that S. haematobium is associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. However, the mechanisms of this interaction are not clearly defined. Using normal epithelial cells, S. haematobium parasite extracts were able to induce cancer-like phenotypes such as proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and tumorigenesis. The parasite extracts on normal urothelium...
