Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Induces Apoptosis through Up-regulation of Bax and Down-regulation of Bcl-2 in Prostate Cancer Cell Line
Background and Aims: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic compound from green tea, which its anticancer effects on many types of cancers have been confirmed, but the molecular mechanism by which EGCG induces apoptosis remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate anti-proliferative properties and apoptotic signaling pathway of EGCG on PC3 human prostate cancer ...
متن کاملEstrogenic regulation of signaling pathways and homeobox genes during rat prostate development.
The developing prostate gland is regulated by its hormonal milieu, most notably androgens, which dictate its growth and differentiation (Price, 1936; Lasnitzki and Mizuno, 1980). In addition, the developing prostate is sensitive to estrogenic exposures (Price, 1963). During prostate morphogenesis, elevated levels of endogenous estrogens (maternal or excess local production) or exogenous estroge...

2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME) is an endogenous metabolite of estradiol with promise for cancer chemotherapy, including advanced prostate cancer. We have focused on events related to cell cycle arrest (G1 and G2/M) and induction of apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells. Treatment with 2-ME increased cyclin B1 protein and its associated kinase activity followed by later inhibition of cyclin A-depe...
متن کاملNovel Poly(Adenosine Diphosphate-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) Inhibitor, AZD2461, Down-Regulates VEGF and Induces Apoptosis in Prostate Cancer Cells
Background: Prostate cancer (Pca) is a heterogeneous disease, and current treatments are not based on molecular stratification. Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have recently been found to be remarkably toxic to cells with defects in homologous recombination, particularly cells with BRCA-mutated backgrounds. Therefore, this preliminary study was designed to ...
متن کاملp53 Protein Expression and Its Relation to the Apoptotic Index in Prostate Adenocarcinoma
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in males. Tumor suppressor gene p53 plays an important role in causing cell cycle arrest and allowing apoptosis to proceed. Objective: To investigate the expression of p53 protein and its relation to apoptosis and prostate cancer traditional prognostic indicators. Methods: In this study expression of p53 was examined in p...
