assessment of selective growth inhibitory effects of hesa-a on some human neoplastic cell lines
background: during the past few years, hesa-a, a herbal-marine mixture, has been used to treat cancer as an alternative medicine in iran. however, weight of the evidence is not sufficient to accept or refuse the use of this compound as a cytotoxic drug. we investigated the selective anticancer effects of hesa-a on breast, prostate, colon, and glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) neoplastic cell lines....
متن کاملPolyamines and neoplastic growth.
Studies over many years have suggested that increased polyamine synthesis may be necessary for neoplastic growth. This review summarizes recent work on the regulation of putrescine production both de novo and via the degradation of higher polyamines and provides a summary of studies using transgenic mice in which the levels of proteins that regulate these processes (L-ornithine decarboxylase, a...
متن کاملCell-cell contact interactions conditionally determine suppression and selection of the neoplastic phenotype.
Separation of chemical and physical carcinogenesis into the stages of initiation (mutation) and promotion (selection) established that incipient neoplastic cells could persist in the organism indefinitely without expression. Spontaneous mutations associated with cancer also lie dormant in untreated normal tissue. Without selection, there is no tumor development. Experiments in cell culture show...
متن کاملProduction of B cell growth factor(s) by neoplastic B cells from hairy cell leukemia patients.
Recent studies have shown that normal human T cells contain a high-molecular-weight (mol wt) protein exhibiting B cell growth factor (BCGF) activity. Other studies have shown that virally transformed human B cells also secrete a high-mol-wt BCGF-like molecule in vitro. We have studied neoplastic B cells from patients with untreated hairy cell leukemia (HCL) to ascertain whether such cytoplasmic...
متن کاملLysophosphatidic acid and autotaxin stimulate cell motility of neoplastic and non-neoplastic cells through LPA1.
Autotaxin (ATX) is a tumor cell motility-stimulating factor originally isolated from melanoma cell supernatant that has been implicated in regulation of invasive and metastatic properties of cancer cells. Recently, we showed that ATX is identical to lysophospholipase D, which converts lysophosphatidylcholine to a potent bioactive phospholipid mediator, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), raising the p...
