P-195: Thymoquinone Increases Efficacy of Tamoxifen Induced Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells: In Vitro
Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate combined effect of Thymoquinone (The main active component of black seeds) with Tamoxifen drug on apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells (Noninvasive human breast cancer cell line, estrogen receptor positive). Materials and Methods: The human breast cancer MCF- 7 cells were treated with Tamoxifen (2 μM) alone or in combination with Th...
متن کاملFTY720 (fingolimod) sensitizes prostate cancer cells to radiotherapy by inhibition of sphingosine kinase-1.
Radiotherapy is widely used as a radical treatment for prostate cancer, but curative treatments are elusive for poorly differentiated tumors where survival is just 15% at 15 years. Dose escalation improves local response rates but is limited by tolerance in normal tissues. A sphingosine analogue, FTY720 (fingolimod), a drug currently in phase III studies for treatment of multiple sclerosis, has...
متن کاملThe emerging role of FTY720 (Fingolimod) in cancer treatment
FTY720 (Fingolimod) is a clinically approved immunomodulating therapy for multiple sclerosis that sequesters T-cells to lymph nodes through functional antagonism of sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 receptor. FTY720 also demonstrates a proven efficacy in multiple in vitro and in vivo cancer models, suggesting a potential therapeutic role in cancer patients. A potential anticancer mechanism of FTY720 is...
متن کاملFTY720/Fingolimod, a Sphingosine Analogue, Reduces Amyloid-β Production in Neurons
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a pluripotent lipophilic mediator working as a ligand for G-protein coupled S1P receptors (S1PR), which is currently highlighted as a therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases including relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Sphingosine related compounds, FTY720 and KRP203 known as S1PR modulators, are phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) to yield the...
متن کاملSphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor Modulator Fingolimod (FTY720) Attenuates Myocardial Fibrosis in Post-heterotopic Heart Transplantation
Background and Objective: Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), and S1P receptor modulator fingolimod have been suggested to play important cardioprotective role in animal models of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries. To understand the cardioprotective function of S1P and its mechanism in vivo, we analyzed apoptotic, inflammatory biomarkers, and myocardial fibrosis in an in vivo heterotopic rat ...
