Chemical Biology Screen for Prostate Cancer Therapeutics
Prostate cancer initially responds to hormone-based therapeutics such as anti-androgen treatment or chemotherapeutics but eventually becomes resistant. Novel treatment options are therefore urgently needed. This thesis study applied a high-throughput screen of 4910 known drugs and drug-like small molecules to identify compounds that selectively inhibit growth of prostate cancer cells. In additi...
متن کاملSalinomycin inhibits Wnt signaling and selectively induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.
Salinomycin, an antibiotic potassium ionophore, has been reported recently to act as a selective breast cancer stem cell inhibitor, but the biochemical basis for its anticancer effects is not clear. The Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway plays a central role in stem cell development, and its aberrant activation can cause cancer. In this study, we identified salinomycin as a potent inhibi...
متن کاملInvestigation of selective CDK4/6 inhibitor (Abemaciclib) cytotoxicity effects on human anaplastic thyroid cancer
Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is a rare and dead full cancer among types of the thyroid cancer. Despite the conventional chemotherapy, a considerable number of the patients show developing chemo resistance. Therefore, there is a necessary need to find the novel therapeutic approaches in the anaplastic thyroid cancer patien...
متن کاملAntibiotics that target mitochondria effectively eradicate cancer stem cells, across multiple tumor types: Treating cancer like an infectious disease
Here, we propose a new strategy for the treatment of early cancerous lesions and advanced metastatic disease, via the selective targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs), a.k.a., tumor-initiating cells (TICs). We searched for a global phenotypic characteristic that was highly conserved among cancer stem cells, across multiple tumor types, to provide a mutation-independent approach to cancer therapy...
متن کاملAnti-invasion Effects of Cannabinoids Agonist and Antagonist on Human Breast Cancer Stem Cells
Studies show that cancer cell invasion or metastasis is the primary cause of death inmalignancies including breast cancer. The existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in breast cancermay account for tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. Recent studies have reporteddifferent effects of cannabinoids on cancer cells via CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. In thepresent study, the effects of ...
