Induced Cellular Transformation: Implications for Cancer Chemoprevention

چکیده
Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a naturally occurring compound shown to inhibit 7,12–dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced preneoplastic lesions in mouse mammary organ culture and 12O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-promoted mouse skin tumors. It has been postulated that resveratrol may inhibit tumorigenesis in mouse skin through interference with reactive oxidant pathways, and possibly by modulating the expression of c-fos and TGF-ß1. The chemopreventive potential of resveratrol was further examined by investigating its effect on cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolites monitored by HPLC analysis. Resveratrol was found to inhibit the generation of arachidonic acid metabolites catalyzed by both COX-1 and COX-2. In addition, this compound significantly inhibited malignant transformation induced by chemical carcinogens in the mouse C3H10T1/2 cell culture system. These data serve to corroborate the cancer chemopreventive potential of resveratrol.

Combination of Ethanolic Extract of Citrus aurantifolia Peels with Doxorubicin Modulate Cell Cycle and Increase Apoptosis Induction on MCF-7 Cells
New approach of breast cancer therapy is developed toward combination therapy with agent that have a specific molecular target. Our previous study showed that Citrus aurantifolia lime peels ethanolic extract (CPE) increased the sensitivity of MCF-7 cells againts doxorubicin. This study aims to observe the mechanism of combination CPE and doxorubicin in cell cycle modulation and apoptosis on MCF...

متن کاملSERMs attenuate estrogen-induced malignant transformation of human mammary epithelial cells by upregulating detoxification of oxidative metabolites.
The risk of developing hormone-dependent cancers with long-term exposure to estrogens is attributed both to proliferative, hormonal actions at the estrogen receptor (ER) and to chemical carcinogenesis elicited by genotoxic, oxidative estrogen metabolites. Nontumorigenic MCF-10A human breast epithelial cells are classified as ER(-) and undergo estrogen-induced malignant transformation. Selective...
متن کاملNitric oxide does not mediate but inhibits transformation and tumor phenotype.
UNLABELLED Although inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) are implicated in tumor pathology, their role in the early stages of carcinogenesis is not well defined. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) induces iNOS and NO production in transformation-sensitive JB6 P+, but not in transformation-resistant JB6 P-, mouse epidermal cells. We tested the hypothesis that iNOS, by...
