β-Elemene Inhibits Cell Proliferation by Regulating the Expression and Activity of Topoisomerases I and IIα in Human Hepatocarcinoma HepG-2 Cells
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of β-Elemene (β-ELE) on the proliferation, apoptosis, and topoisomerase I (TOPO I) and topoisomerase IIα (TOPO IIα) expression and activity of human hepatocarcinoma HepG-2 cells. METHODS After treatment with β-ELE, morphological alterations of HepG-2 cells were observed under an inverted microscope. Cell proliferation was assessed using an MTT assay, cell ...
متن کاملCombination of metformin and phenformin synergistically inhibits proliferation and hTERT expression in human breast cancer cells
Objective(s): Breast cancer remains a global challenge, and further chemopreventive therapies are still immediately required. Emerging evidence has revealed the potent anti-cancer effects of biguanides, Metformin (MET) and phenformin (PHE). Thus, to explore an efficient chemopreventive strategy for breast cancer, the antiproliferative effects of the combination of MET and PHE against breast can...
متن کاملβ-Elemene inhibits the proliferation of primary human airway granulation fibroblasts by down-regulating canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway
Benign airway stenosis is a clinical challenge because of recurrent granulation tissues. Our previous study proved that a Chinese drug, β-elemene, could effectively inhibit the growth of fibroblasts cultured from hyperplastic human airway granulation tissues, which could slow down the progression of this disease. The purpose of this study is to find out the mechanism. We cultured fibroblasts fr...
متن کاملMicroRNA-33a inhibits lung cancer cell proliferation and invasion by regulating the expression of β-catenin.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non‑coding RNAs that are aberrantly expressed in tumors. miRNA‑33a (miR‑33a) is closely associated with cholesterol metabolism and is essential for cellular growth. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of miR‑33a and identify its clinical significance in lung cancer cells. miR‑33a was observed to be overexpressed in the lung cancer cell lines A549 a...
متن کاملβ‐Elemene Selectively Inhibits the Proliferation of Glioma Stem‐Like Cells Through the Downregulation of Notch1
Glioma is the most frequent primary central nervous system tumor. Although the current first-line medicine, temozolomide (TMZ), promotes patient survival, drug resistance develops easily. Thus, it is important to investigate novel therapeutic reagents to solidify the treatment effect. β-Elemene (bELE) is a compound from a Chinese herb whose anticancer effect has been shown in various types of c...
