D-Allose Inhibits Cancer Cell Growth by Reducing GLUT1 Expression.
Glucose is a major energy source for mammalian cells and is transported into cells via cell-specific expression of various glucose transporters (GLUTs). Especially, cancer cells require massive amounts of glucose as an energy source for their dysregulated growth and thus over-express GLUTs. d-allose, a C-3 epimer of d-glucose, is one of rare sugars that exist in small quantities in nature. We h...
متن کاملSilymarin inhibits Toll-like receptor 8 gene expression and apoptosis in Ramos cancer cell line
Objective: Silymarin is a herbal extract containing flavonolignans, and it has inhibitory effects against the growth of different cancer cell lines by inducing apoptosis. Toll-like receptors are suggested as a novel and attractive target to treat cancer. The current study aimed at examining the mechanism of silymarin-induced apoptosis in Ramos cells and investigating its effect...
متن کاملD-Allose catabolism of Escherichia coli: involvement of alsI and regulation of als regulon expression by allose and ribose.
Genes involved in allose utilization of Escherichia coli K-12 are organized in at least two operons, alsRBACE and alsI, located next to each other on the chromosome but divergently transcribed. Mutants defective in alsI (allose 6-phosphate isomerase gene) and alsE (allulose 6-phosphate epimerase gene) were Als(-). Transcription of the two allose operons, measured as beta-galactosidase activity ...
متن کاملmiR-506 inhibits cell proliferation and invasion by targeting TET family in colorectal cancer
Objective(s): Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family members have been shown to be involved in the development of many tumors. However, the biological role of the TET family and its mechanism of action in colorectal carcinogenesis and progression remain poorly understood. Materials and Methods:We measured the expression levels of TET family members in colorectal cancer (CRC) specimens, in the c...
متن کاملDownregulation of mTOR by lentivirus inhibits prostate cancer cell growth.
Prostate cancer, one of the most lethal forms of urinary system cancer, remains resistant to currently available treatments. Therefore, novel mechanism and target-based approaches are needed for the management of this neoplasm. PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation correlates with human prostate cancer progression and metastasis. However, the role of mTOR in prostate cancer is not well-establis...
