Abstract:

Objective- The studies have been shown that aspirin, an anti-inflammatory agent, could reduce occurrence of different cancers. The aim of the present study was to evaluate pharmacological effective concentrations of aspirin with/without radiotherapy on growth rate of MCF-7 breast cancer cell line Design- Experimental Study Animals- The MCF-7 breast cancer cell line from rats Procedures- The MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was prepared commercially and cultured. The cultured cells were then separated to labelled tubes and treated for 24 hours with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg aspirin plus 0.1 mg doxorubicin. Cells were then exposed to radiation. Cell proliferation and survival were measured by MTT assay, following acridine orange and propidium iodide staining methods using spectrophotometry and fluorescence microscopy. Results- The findings showed that proliferation and survival of the cells treated with 5 mM aspirin followed by radiotherapy were significantly decreased compared to them of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion and Clinical Relevance- Although anti-proliferative activity of aspirin was lower than that of doxorubicin, it can be considered in combination therapy because of its affordability and cost-effectiveness

Evaluation of anticancer effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Stachys setifera on MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line

Abstract: Background and Aim: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Given that plant compounds have been used to treat cancer for centuries. Despite some reports of antitumor effects on some species of this genus, the anticancer activity of Stachys setifera has not yet been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Stachy...

Growth Inhibition and Apoptosis Induction of Salvia chloroleuca on MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line

Fragrant species of the genus Salvia have been attributed many medicinal properties, which include anticancer activity. In the present study, cytotoxic properties of total methanol extract of Salvia chloroleuca Rech. f. & Aellen and its fractions were investigated on MCF-7, a breast carcinoma cell line. Malignant and non-malignant cells were cultured in RPMI medium and incubated with different ...

Cytotoxicity Effect of Cladribine on the MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cell Line

Cladribine, an analogue of deoxyadenosine, is highly toxic for both non-dividing and proliferating cells and has shown activity in the treatment of several malignancies. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the cytotoxicity effect of cladribine (2-CdA) on the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7 (estrogen receptor positive, ER+). MTT assay, annexin V-Fluorescein/PI and Hoechst 33...

The Activity of Sirtuin 1 in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line: The Effects of Visfatin

Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Obesity, hormones, and growth factors are the risk factors for this kind of cancer. One of the changes observed in patients suffering from breast cancer is the elevated Visfatin or nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) in their tumor tissues and blood. The increa...
