Objectives: Ziziphus Jujube (Jujube) plant has exhibited numerous medicinal and pharmacological properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study was carried out to investigate its anti-cancer and pro-apoptotic abilities in human cervical and breast cancer cells in vitro. Materials and Methods: The cervical OV2008 and breast MCF-7 cancer cells were incubated with differ...

Aberrant signaling through G-protein coupled receptors promotes metastasis, the major cause of breast cancer death. We identified regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) as a novel suppressor of breast cancer migration and invasion, important steps of metastatic cascades. By blocking signals initiated through G(i)-coupled receptors, such as protease-activated receptor 1 and CXC chemokine rece...

human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (her-2) as a new prognostic and predictive factor has been believed as an essential measurement in breast carcinoma. about 280 articles were reviewed and 115 were referred in this review article on her-2. her-2 is an oncoprotein epidermal growth factor receptor produced by a so-called cell surface oncogene. overexpression results in aggressive behavior, ...

Breast cancer cells express enzymes that convert cholesterol, the synthetic precursor of steroid hormones, into estrogens and androgens, which then drive breast cancer cell proliferation. In the present study, we sought to determine whether oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), an enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, may be targeted to suppress progression of breast cancer cells. In previous ...

objective(s): the janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription signaling pathway (jak/stat pathway) play an important role in proliferation of breast cancer cells. previous data showed that inhibition of stat3 suppresses the growth of breast cancer cells, but the associated mechanisms are not well understood. this study aims to investigate the effect and associated mechanisms...

Background: While praised for its benefits in treating symptoms related to menopausal changes, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been associated with an increased risk hormone-dependent cancer development, particularly endometrial and breast. Few studies have elucidated the relationship between HRT cessation receptor-positive breast proliferation. We report herein, best of our knowledge, fi...

Honey, propolis, and passionflower contain a flavone known as chrysin. Researchers are studying chrysin to prove its potential stop cancer cells growth. Chrysin therapeutic is of great interest numerous studies have been done illustrate this potential. It associated protein pathways effectively suppress tumor growth within the body. shown ability kill breast, prostate, lung, liver, stomach canc...

Three monoclonal antibodies--H59, H71, and H72--which react with human breast cancers have been developed using the estrogen-dependent human breast cancer cell line, ZR-75-1, as the immunogen. H59 bound only to estrogen receptor-positive, estrogen-regulated breast cancer cells in culture, whereas H71 and H72 bound breast cancer cells irrespective of the estrogen receptor content. All three anti...
