Salinomycin enhances doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity in multidrug resistant MCF-7/MDR human breast cancer cells via decreased efflux of doxorubicin
Salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether antibiotic, which is widely used as an anticoccidial agent. The anticancer property of salinomycin has been recognized and is based on its ability to induce apoptosis in human multidrug resistance (MDR). The present study investigated whether salinomycin reverses MDR towards chemotherapeutic agents in doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7/MDR human breast cancer ...
متن کاملResveratrol reverses multidrug resistance in human breast cancer doxorubicin-resistant cells
Although its mechanisms remain unidentified, resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene; RES), which is an active, low molecular-weight compound, possesses a unique antitumor function and is capable of enhancing the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) within solid tumor cells. RES is hypothesized to exert these effects by reversing the multidrug resistance (MDR) of the cancer cells in response ...
متن کاملLuteolin attenuates doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity to MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
Luteolin, a flavone found in some vegetables, has been reported to exhibit antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticancer activities. In the present study, we found that luteolin has biphasic effects on the viability of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. That is, cell viability increased at relatively low luteolin concentrations and decreased at relatively high concentrations. Focusing on ...
متن کاملOligonucleotides blocking glucosylceramide synthase expression selectively reverse drug resistance in cancer cells.
High glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) activity is one factor contributing to multidrug resistance (MDR) in breast cancer. Enforced GCS overexpression has been shown to disrupt ceramide-induced apoptosis and to confer resistance to doxorubicin. To examine whether GCS is a target for cancer therapy, we have designed and tested the effects of antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) to GCS on gen...
متن کاملCharacteristics of homocysteine-induced multidrug resistance of human MCF-7 breast cancer cells and human A2780 ovarian cancer cells.
AIM To study the influence of homocysteine on the mechanisms of drug resistance formation. METHODS In current study human MCF-7 breast cancer cells and A2780 ovarian cancer cells sensitive to anticancer drugs were used. To access the viability of cells, we applied 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-1]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay (MTT-test). Expression of Bcl-2, p-glycoprotein (P-...
