aim : in this paper effect of combinational usage of calprotectin and etoposide on ags cell line is studied. background : application of combined toxic agents such as etoposide and cicplatin are commonly used for chemotherapy purposes. as a matter of fact, calprotectin and etoposide were both applied on human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (ags) as antitumor agents. both calprotectin and etop...

The cytotoxic activity of ethanolic extracts of Thymus vulgaris, Thuja orientalis and Achillea millefolium was investigated on various growing tumor cell lines. MTT colorimetric assay was used for measuring the inhibition of cell proliferation. All of the three extracts showed a relatively dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation of human breast cancer (SK-Br-3, MDA-MB-435) and leukemia ...

objective(s): this paper aims to investigate synergistic inhibition of polysaccharide from sepia esculenta ink (sip), a newly isolated marine polysaccharide in our laboratory, on breast cancer mda-mb-231 cells exposed to cisplatin. materials and methods: cell viability of mda-mb-231 cells was determined by cck 8 assay. median-effect concentration was analyzed using chou-talalay method that was ...

introduction: human calprotectin is an abundant protein in the neutrophil, monocyte and macrophage cytosol. effect of proliferation inhibition of this protein has been elucidated on hepatoma, melanoma, murine fibrosarcoma lukemia and human adenocarcenoma breast cancer but not in human gastric cancer cell lines. in present study, in vitro proliferation inhibition effect of calprotectin in differ...

Flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta (MCF) were studied for their ability to inhibit the proliferation of 2.2.15 cells. All concentration of MCF inhibited the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg in the cultured medium by 2.2.15 cells. Analysis of morphological changes of MCF-treated cells by phase-contrast microscopy revealed a possible mode of action for MCF: inhibition of proliferation of 2.2.15 cel...

interaction between urokinase-type plasminogen activator (upa) and its receptor (upar) plays an important role in the progression of numerous cancer types including breast cancer by promoting tumor initiating,  proliferation,  invasion  and  metastasis.  hence,  disruption  of  this  interaction  inhibits  their downstream cascades and subsequently tumor growth. for this, we created two series ...

the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) cells is one of the leading causes of liver cancer mortality in humans. the inhibiting effects of matrine on hcc cell proliferation have been studied, but the mechanism of that inhibition has not been fully elucidated. since, apoptosis plays an important role in hcc cell proliferation. we examined the apoptosis-inducing effect of matrine on tu...
