Lectins with potential for anti-cancer therapy.
This article reviews lectins of animal and plant origin that induce apoptosis and autophagy of cancer cells and hence possess the potential of being developed into anticancer drugs. Apoptosis-inducing lectins encompass galectins, C-type lectins, annexins, Haliotis discus discus lectin, Polygonatum odoratum lectin, mistletoe lectin, and concanavalin A, fucose-binding Dicentrarchus labrax lectin,...
متن کاملLectins with anti-HIV activity: a review.
Lectins including flowering plant lectins, algal lectins, cyanobacterial lectins, actinomycete lectin, worm lectins, and the nonpeptidic lectin mimics pradimicins and benanomicins, exhibit anti-HIV activity. The anti-HIV plant lectins include Artocarpus heterophyllus (jacalin) lectin, concanavalin A, Galanthus nivalis (snowdrop) agglutinin-related lectins, Musa acuminata (banana) lectin, Myrian...
متن کاملAnti-angiogenesis Cancer Gene Therpay Strategies
Since the relationship between angiogenesis and tumor growth was established by Folkman in 1971, scientists have made efforts exploring the possibilities in treating cancer by targeting angiogenesis. Inhibition of angiogenesis growth factors and administration of angiogenesis inhibitors are the basics of antiangiogenesis therapy. Transfer of anti-angiogenesis genes has received attention recent...
متن کاملStructural studies of algal lectins with anti-HIV activity.
A number of antiviral lectins, small proteins that bind carbohydrates found on viral envelopes, are currently in pre-clinical trials as potential drugs for prevention of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other enveloped viruses, such as the Ebola virus and the coronavirus responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Lectins of algal origin whose antiviral prope...
متن کاملNew anti-cancer strategies: epigenetic therapies and biomarkers.
Epigenetics is the study of chromatin modifications that affect gene expression without altering DNA nucleotide sequences. This review highlights a prominent role for epigenetic therapies, particularly those that reverse aberrant DNA methylation and histone acetylation, in the potential treatment of cancer. Administration of such therapies to reverse epigenetic "silencing" of tumor suppressors,...
