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...

Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...

sirtuin1 (sirt1) is an enzyme that deacetylates histones and several nonhistone proteins including p53 during stress and plays an important role in the survival of tumor cells. hereby, this study describes the potency of salermide as a sirt1 inhibitor to induce apoptosis in the mcf-7 and mrc-5 cell lines. mcf7 and mrc-5 cell lines were cultured in rpmi-1640 and treated with or without salermide...

increased exposure to estrogen has been associated with the risk of breast cancer. substituted benzofuran derivatives with inhibitory effects on estrogen synthesis could be considered as a potential approach to reduce the risk of breast cancer. the study of cytotoxic effects of these compounds has suggested involvement of other mechanisms such as dna damage. in the current study we have investi...

in this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (aat) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of cho and cos-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. human aat cdna was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. the transgene aat-jred chimer was transferr...

background: the monoclonal antibody, c595, against breast cancer cell line was conjugated with cyclic anhydride gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (gd-cdtpaa) to produce gd-dtpa-c595 and used as specific breast cancer cell line (mcf-7) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri).  methods: after incubation of breast cancer cell line (mcf-7), with different contrast agents (g...
