چکیده

apoptosis could be a major mechanism of antitumor effect of tamoxifen. therefore this study is designed to characterize the kinetic behavior of tamoxifen-induced apoptosis in the estrogen receptor positive (er+) and negative (er-) cell lines, mcf-7 and mda-mb-468. frequency of cell death was examined by trypan blue and acridine orange staining. annexin v-fluorescein/pi was used in flow cytometry for distinguishing the dividing, apoptotic and necrotic cells and hoechst 33258 staining was also applied to detect apoptotic changes in the nuclear morphology. the results showed that tamoxifen was able to induce apoptosis in both cell lines (χ2 test, p<0.05). in contrast to the mcf-7 cells, which responded to the low concentrations of tamoxifen (0.5-1μm), the treated mda-mb-468 cells were affected at 20 μm (χ2 test, p<0.05). however, the kinetic data revealed that tamoxifen, at higher doses stimulates the er+ cell proliferation. this is the first study showing these opposite effects in the kinetics of tamoxifen treated cells. therefore it may serve as a guideline for the precautionary evaluation of suggested high doses of tamoxifen

Apoptotic potential of two Caryophyllaceae species in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cell lines

Background and objectives: Plants have been used to treat diseases like cancer for many years and today the trend towards their use is increasing. One of the most effective mechanisms of plants against cancer is inducing apoptosis. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death which acts opposite to cell division. It starts in response to some stimuli. Despite the effectiveness of apopt...

Defective repair of 8-hydroxyguanine in mitochondria of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cell lines.

Breast cancer is one of the major causes of mortality among women in the United States. Although the causes of breast cancer remain unclear, it has been speculated that DNA base damage may lead to mutations that subsequently can be carcinogenic. Recently, defective oxidative DNA damage repair has been implicated in breast tumorigenesis. The major oxidative DNA lesion, 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxoG),...
