Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
The environmental acidity or pH of living cells and tissues is one of the most important factors that influence molecular processes involved in cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Also, oncogenesis, malignant transformation, metastasis, and angiogenesis are greatly affected by environmental acidity which also influences the response of cancer cells to various treatments (Song et al., 2006). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in various processes of cancer progression such as destruction of the basement membrane, entry and exit of tumor cells from the circulation, local migration, and angiogenesis of tumors (Nelson et al., 2000 & Kleiner and Stetler-Stevenson, 1999). In human melanoma models, an acidic pHe increases both migration and invasiveness in vitro, accompanied by MMP-9 activation (Martinez-Zaguilan et al., 1996).This study aims to evaluate the effect of sodium bicarbonate 8.4% on bronchial carcinoma as regard the size of the tumor, histopathological changes, EM changes, MMP-9 expression, cathepsin B level and expression |
