18α-glycyrrhetinic acid targets prostate cancer cells by down-regulating inflammation-related genes.
Glycyrrhetinic acid is an active triterpenoid metabolite of glycyrrhizin abundantly present in licorice roots. Glycyrrhetinic acid exists as α and β stereo-isomeric forms. Both stereo-isomeric forms are known to have anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. However, the effects and anticancer mechanism of α glycyrrhetinic acid in prostate cancer cells has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, we...
متن کاملInhibition of gap junction communication in alveolar epithelial cells by 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid.
Cultured alveolar epithelial cells exhibit gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and express regulated levels of connexin (Cx) 43 mRNA and protein. Newly synthesized radiolabeled Cx43 protein equilibrates with phosphorylated Cx43 isoforms; these species assemble to form both connexons and functional gap junction plaques. The saponin 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) rapidly and reversibly ...
متن کاملCancer stem cells: therapeutic targets
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. This minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. Low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...
متن کامل18α-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Induces Apoptosis of HL-60 Human Leukemia Cells through Caspases- and Mitochondria-Dependent Signaling Pathways.
In this study we investigate the molecular mechanisms of caspases and mitochondria in the extrinsic and intrinsic signal apoptosis pathways in human leukemia HL-60 cells after in vitro exposure to 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid (18α-GA). Cells were exposed to 18α-GA at various concentrations for various time periods and were harvested for flow cytometry total viable cell and apoptotic cell death measu...
