Punicic Acid Inhibits Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis in Human MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the main components Pomegranate Seed Oil is punicic acid, an omega-5 fatty acid that capable inhibiting breast and prostate cancer cell proliferation, although mechanisms action are not yet known. In order to further understand its potential anti-cancer properties, we investigated effect on proliferation cytotoxicity human MCF-7 cells.

Genistein Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits Proliferation of HT29 Colon Cancer Cells
Soybean isoflavone genistein has multiple anticancer properties and its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects have been studied in different cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of action of genistein and its molecular targets on human colon cells have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, caspase-3 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) as the main therapeutic targets...
متن کاملCombination 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 کاملLeucine deprivation inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human breast cancer cells via fatty acid synthase
Substantial studies on fatty acid synthase (FASN) have focused on its role in regulating lipid metabolism and researchers have a great interest in treating cancer with dietary manipulation of amino acids. In the current study, we found that leucine deprivation caused the FASN-dependent anticancer effect. Here we showed that leucine deprivation inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis ...
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...
