Do [ Screening of antagonist peptide of BLyS from C7C phage display peptide library ]?
Two phage display antagonist peptides of BLyS were obtained.
This study revealed a proliferation inhibiting effect of IGFBP7 by G0/G1 arrest and a drug resistance-inducing effect of IGFBP7 against vincristine and asparaginase in T-ALL. These results provide a model for the previously observed association between high IGFBP7 expression and chemotherapy failure in T-ALL patients. Since the resistance against vincristine was abolished by IGF1-R inhibition, IGFBP7 could serve as biomarker for patients who may benefit from therapies including IGF1-R inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy.
