Combination 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 کاملApoptotic ratios and mitotic abnormalities in 17-β-estradiol-transformed human breast epithelial MCF-10F cells.
Treatment of human breast epithelial cells MCF-10F with 17-β-estradiol has been reported to result in E2-transformed cells which have given rise to highly invasive C5 cells that in turn generate tumors in SCID mice. From these tumors, various cell lines, among which C5-A6-T6 and C5-A8-T8, were obtained. Although different phases of the tumorigenesis process in this model have been studied in mo...
متن کاملDownregulation of Kinesin Spindle Protein Inhibits Proliferation, Induces Apoptosis and Increases Chemosensitivity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells
Background: Kinesin spindle protein (KSP) plays a critical role in mitosis. Inhibition of KSP function leads to cell cycle arrest at mitosis and ultimately to cell death. The aim of this study was to suppress KSP expression by specific small-interfering RNA (siRNA) in Hep3B cells and evaluate its anti-tumor activity. Methods: Three siRNA targeting KSP (KSP-siRNA #1-3) and one mismatched-siRNA (...
متن کامل[Effects of surfactin on proliferation, apoptosis and cytoskeleton in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells].
We studied the effect of surfactin on cell proliferation, apoptosis and the cytoskeleton in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 in vitro. The result of 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) showed that the surfactin inhibited proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with IC50 at 48 h of 27.3 micromol/L. Surfactin-induced cell death was cons...
متن کاملO-desmethylangolensin inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis and promoting cell cycle arrest
The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticancer effect of O-desmethylangolensin (O-DMA) by assessing cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle distribution, as well as exploring the mechanisms underlying these effects in breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. The cells were exposed to O-DMA (5-200 μM) for 24, 48 and 72 h. The results revealed that cell proliferation was significantly i...
