Effect of metformin on apoptosis induction in ovarian cancer cells
INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer is one of the most difficult problems in gynecologic oncology and the search for new drugs effective in the treatment of this kind of cancer, especially in cases resistant to current forms of therapy, remains a challenging priority. THE AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of metformin on apoptosis and the BIRC5 gene expression in ovarian...
متن کاملAnticancer effect of Artemisia extract and cisplatin on induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation in A2780 human ovarian cancer
Cisplatin, as a chemotherapy drug, causes serious side effects in the advanced stages of the cancer. Recently, Artemisia has been considered for its bioactive compounds, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-cancer and anti-metastatic effects of the methanolic extract of aerial organs of Artemisia and cisplatin, either alone or in combi...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition and apoptosis induction in ovarian cancer cells.
Standard therapy for the treatment of ovarian cancer is radical surgery followed by radiation and/or chemotherapy using cisplatin and paclitaxel. Unfortunately, some patients relapse after this first line chemotherapy and some patients become platinum-refractory. Therefore, we analyzed two different ovarian carcinoma cell lines for their sensitivity for gamma-irradiation and treatment with cisp...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis by metformin in epithelial ovarian cancer: involvement of the Bcl-2 family proteins.
OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to evaluate the ability of metformin to induce apoptosis in epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines and to identify the pathways involved in this effect. METHODS After treatment with metformin and/or cisplatin, OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-4 cellular apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and caspase 3/7 activity. Cell cycle analysis was also performed by flow cytomet...
متن کاملCo-Administration of Curcumin and Bromocriptine Nano-liposomes for Induction of Apoptosis in Lung Cancer Cells
Background: In recent years, nanotechnology with modern advances in the macromolecular design of nano-carriers has proved to be helpful in the development of drugs delivery systems. This research represents a novel co-administration of nano-vehicles, known as liposomes. Liposomes efficiently encapsulate curcumin and bromocriptine (BR) in a polymer structure, which results in enhanced aqueous so...
