thioredoxin system: a model for determining novel lead molecules for breast cancer chemotherapy
background: thioredoxin reductase 1 (txnrd1) and thioredoxin interacting protein (txnip) also known as thioredoxin binding protein 2 or vitamin d3-upregulated protein 1 are key players in oxidative stress control. thioredoxin (trx) is one of the major components of the thiol reducing system and plays multiple roles in cellular processes. computational analyses of txnrd1, txnip and trx expressio...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of a Novel Niosome System Containing Adiantum Capillus-Veneris for Breast Cancer Therapy
Background: Due to the increase in cancer and side effects of common therapies, researchers are looking for treatments with the least side effects, which is why medicinal plants have become so important. Adiantum capillus-veneris L. plant commonly called southern maidenhair fern, and also named as “Pare-siavashan” in medical and pharmaceutical textbooks of Iranian Traditional Medicine, contains...
متن کاملCadherins as novel targets for anti-cancer therapy.
The cell adhesion molecules N-, VE- and OB-cadherin have been implicated as regulators of tumor growth and metastasis. We discuss evidence that N- and VE-cadherin play a key role in promoting blood vessel formation and stability, processes which are essential for tumor growth. Secondly, we describe the potential involvement of N- and OB-cadherin in the metastatic process. Finally, studies conce...

متن کاملVoltage-gated calcium channels: Novel targets for cancer therapy
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) comprise five subtypes: The L-type; R-type; N-type; P/Q-type; and T-type, which are encoded by α1 subunit genes. Calcium ion channels also have confirmed roles in cellular functions, including mitogenesis, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and metastasis. An association between VGCCs, a reduction in proliferation and an increase in apoptosis in pro...
