Adaptive immunity suppresses formation and progression of diethylnitrosamine-induced liver cancer

Endoplasmic reticulum stress in diethylnitrosamine-induced rat liver cancer

To analyze the significance of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in the development of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver cancer in rats, critical regulatory factors in ERS signaling pathways were investigated in the present study. The results showed that the expression of ERS-related proteins gradually increased in the early and mid-term stages of carcinogenesis, while in the later stages...

Metformin Suppresses Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Liver Tumorigenesis in Obese and Diabetic C57BL/KsJ-+Leprdb/+Leprdb Mice

Obesity and related metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, raise the risk of liver carcinogenesis. Metformin, which is widely used in the treatment of diabetes, ameliorates insulin sensitivity. Metformin is also thought to have antineoplastic activities and to reduce cancer risk. The present study examined the preventive effect of metformin on the development of diethylnitrosamine (DEN...

Metastatic rate of liver tumors induced by diethylnitrosamine in mice.

Anticarcinogenic effect of red ginseng on the development of liver cancer induced by diethylnitrosamine in rats.

Anticarcinogenic effect of red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer cultivated in JiLin, China) on the development of liver cancer induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in rats was studied, especially in preventive and curative groups. In the preventive group, the rats were given with DEN concomitantly with red ginseng fluid, and in the curative group, the rats were administered with red ginseng flu...

Extract of Pleurotus pulmonarius Suppresses Liver Cancer Development and Progression through Inhibition of VEGF-Induced PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

Liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Conventional chemotherapies are limited by the development of drug resistance and various side effects. Because of its non-toxicity and potent biopharmacological activity, metabolites derived from mushrooms have received more attention in cancer therapy. Our previous studies have demonstrated the ant...
