Antiproliferative effect of dexamethasone in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are used in the treatment of cancer to induce programmed cell death in the transformed cells of the hematopoietic system and to reduce side effects. Additionally, GCs are described as an inhibitor of certain chemotherapy or radiation‑induced apoptosis and also an inhibitor of cancer progression by downregulating or upregulating the expression of several genes. The present ...
متن کاملThe Activity of Sirtuin 1 in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line: The Effects of Visfatin
Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Obesity, hormones, and growth factors are the risk factors for this kind of cancer. One of the changes observed in patients suffering from breast cancer is the elevated Visfatin or nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) in their tumor tissues and blood. The increa...
متن کاملUptake and antiproliferative effect of molecular iodine in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.
This study analyzes the uptake and antiproliferative effect of two different chemical forms of iodine, iodide (I-) and molecular iodine (I2), in MCF-7 cells, which are inducible for the Na+/I- symporter (NIS) and positive for pendrin (PDS). The mouse fibroblast cell line NIH3T3 was used as control. Our results show that in MCF-7 cells, I- uptake is sustained and dependent on NIS, whereas I2 upt...
متن کاملCytotoxicity Effect of Cladribine on the MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cell Line
Cladribine, an analogue of deoxyadenosine, is highly toxic for both non-dividing and proliferating cells and has shown activity in the treatment of several malignancies. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the cytotoxicity effect of cladribine (2-CdA) on the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7 (estrogen receptor positive, ER+). MTT assay, annexin V-Fluorescein/PI and Hoechst 33...
متن کاملAntiproliferative activity of Marrubium persicum extract in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line.
AIM Developing antitumor drugs from natural products is receiving increasing interest worldwide due to limitations and side effects of therapy strategies for the second leading cause of disease related mortality, cancer. METHODS The antiproliferative activity of a methanolic extract from the aerial parts of Marrubium persicum extract was assessed with the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line using t...
