Estrogen, mitochondria, and growth of cancer and non-cancer cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review, we discuss estrogen actions on mitochondrial function and the possible implications on cell growth. Mitochondria are important targets of estrogen action. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of interaction between estrogen and mitochondria; and mitochondrial signaling to nucleus are pertinent to the development of new therapy strategies for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases related to mitochondrial disorders, including cancer.

The Inhibitory Effects of Ascorbic Acid, ?-Tocopherol, and Sodium Selenite on Proliferation of Breast Cancer Cell Lines
The role of antioxidants in prevention and treatment of cancers have been reported by several studies. In our investigation we studied the effects of ascorbic acid, ?-tocopherol, and sodium selenite on proliferation of two breast cancer cell lines: T47D (estrogen-receptor positive) and MDA-MB-231 (estrogen-receptor negative). We also used 17-?-estradiol as positive control for proliferation of ...

متن کاملInduction of Apoptosis by extract of Persian Gulf Marine Mollusk, Turbo coronatus through the ROS-Mediated Mitochondrial Targeting on Human Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Cells
Despite recent improvements in treatment, ovarian cancer is still the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies. Today, marine mollusks are considered as natural source of new biologically and pharmacologically active compounds by scientists and the pharmaceutical industries. The aim of this study is to investigate the selective apoptotic effects of Turbo coronatus crude extract f...

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is claimed to be a common cancer amongst women. Estrogen receptors are over-expressed in breast cancer and susceptible to anti-estrogenic effects of tamoxifen. Tamoxifen resistance is a major problem in breast cancer treatment. It has been shown that allicin is an organosulfur compound that is effective in apoptosis induction and cell death in various tum...
