MiR-181a contributes to bufalin-induced apoptosis in PC-3 prostate cancer cells
BACKGROUND Bufalin is a major active compound of cinobufacini, which comes from dried toad venom and has been used for treatments of various cancers in China for many years. A number of studies have demonstrated that bufalin can induce apoptosis in some cancers. However, effects and mechanism of bufalin on prostate cancer cells remain unknown. METHODS Apoptosis assay was measured by the annex...
متن کاملIn vitro Apoptosis Induction in Prostate Cancer Cells (PC-3) using Bacillus licheniformis Supernatant
Background: Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in humans. Therefore, there is a need for new cytotoxic compounds from natural sources such as native bacteria. The current study aimed at investigating the cytotoxic effects of compounds obtained from gram-positive terricolous bacteria on the apoptosis of cells in prostate cancer (PC-3). Materials & Methods: A total of 70 s...
متن کاملMOLECULAR MECHANISM UNDERLYING QUERCETIN INDUCED APOPTOSIS BY insilico ANALYSIS and in PROSTATE CANCER PC-3 CELLS
The study was aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying triggering of apoptosis by quercetin using in silico analysis. The mechanism of binding of quercetin with NF-kB and other apoptotic proteins like BCL2 and BCLXL was analyzed in silico using Schrodinger suite 2009.Quercetin was found to exhibit high-affinity binding resulting from greater intermolecular forces between the lig...
متن کاملmiR-143 and miR-145 inhibit stem cell characteristics of PC-3 prostate cancer cells.
Emerging evidence demonstrates that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the critical drivers of tumor progression and metastasis. The microRNAs (miRNAs) may play a crucial role in repressing/promoting metastasis of cancer by regulating CSCs. A previous study showed that miR-143 and miR-145 play an important role in regulating bone metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa), but the exact mechanism of regulat...
متن کاملResistance to Staurosporine-induced Apoptosis in PC-3 Cells
We have reported previously that among human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP but not PC-3 cells undergo apoptosis after treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine (STS). We have now further investigated this model to uncover the molecular mechanism causing resistance to STS-induced apoptosis in PC-3 cells. S-100 lysates of both cell lines showed biochemical changes typical of ap...
