Natural and herbal compounds targeting breast cancer, a review based on cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are known as the major reason for therapy resistance. Recently, natural herbal compounds are suggested to have a significant role in inhibiting the breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). The aim of this study was to explore the effective natural herbal compounds against BCSCs.This review article was designed based on the BCSCs, mechanisms of therapy resistance and natural he...
متن کاملFunctionalizing Liposomes with anti-CD44 Aptamer for Selective Targeting of Cancer Cells.
CD44 receptor protein is found to be overexpressed by many tumors and is identified as one of the most common cancer stem cell surface markers including tumors affecting colon, breast, pancreas, and head and neck, making this an attractive receptor for therapeutic targeting. In this study, 2'-F-pyrimidine-containing RNA aptamer (Apt1), previously selected against CD44, was successfully conjugat...
متن کاملTargeting breast cancer stem cells.
The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis postulates that tumors are maintained by a self-renewing CSC population that is also capable of differentiating into non-self-renewing cell populations that constitute the bulk of the tumor. Although, the CSC hypothesis does not directly address the cell of origin of cancer, it is postulated that tissue-resident stem or progenitor cells are the most common ...
متن کاملChemotherapeutic activity of Silymarin combined with doxorubicin liposomes in 4T1 breast cancer cells
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Despite great efforts over many years, today cancer treatment is not very effective. The main reasons for cancer chemotherapy failure are high cytotoxicity, low response rates in solid tumors, and development of resistance. Different experimental studies have shown that drug combination using low toxicity natural compounds such as polypheno...
متن کاملHyaluronan-conjugated liposomes encapsulating gemcitabine for breast cancer stem cells
Investigation of potential therapeutics for targeting breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) is important because these cells are regarded as culprit of breast cancer relapse. Accomplishing this kind of strategy requires a specific drug-delivery system using the distinct features of liposomes. Studies on targeted liposomal delivery systems have indicated the conjugation of hyaluronan (HA), a primary ...
