Toxicity Effect of Bromoacetic Acid on MCF7 Breast Cancer Cell Line and Analysis of Expression of Apoptosis-Associated Genes

Introduction: Cancer, the uncontrolled division of cells, occurs because of environmental factors and genetic disorders. Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Four categories of key genes, including oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, repairing genes, and programmed– cell death genes, contribute to cancer development. Bromoacetic acid is a...

Anticancer effect of lactoferrin on Gastric Cancer Cell Line AGS

Background: Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 80 kDa, as a member of the transferring family. In recent investigations the important biological properties such as anti microbial, antiviral and anticancer activity of lactoferrin were studied. In the present study, the effect of antitumor induced by lactoferin was evaluated on stomach cancer cell AGS. Materials and Methods...

Anticancer Effect of Bovine Lactoferrin on Human Esophagus Cancer Cell Line

Background: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein, a member of the transferrin family.From ten known mechanisms of anti-cancer chemoperotecive compounds, Lf alone, has six of these functions and inhibits cancer. In this study, the effect of lactoferrin purified from bovine colostrum was studied as an anti-cancer agent on esophageal cancer cell line. Materials and Methods: Bovine colostrum were ...

Expression of Some Genes Involved in Epigenetic in Breast Cancer Cell Lines: The Effect of Quercetin

Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Incorrect pattern of gene expression involved in epigenetic including APOBEC3B, DNMT-1, and TET-1 can develop breast cancer. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties that have been reported in other studies. To investigate the effect mechanism of quercetin, this study examin...
