Soybean isoflavone genistein has multiple anticancer properties and its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects have been studied in different cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of action of genistein and its molecular targets on human colon cells have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, caspase-3 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) as the main therapeutic targets...

myelodysplastic syndromes (mdss) are a clonal bone marrow (bm) disease characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, dysplastic maturation and progression to acute myeloid leukemia (aml). methylation silencing of hrk has been found in several human malignancies. in this study, we explored the association of hrk methylation status with its expression, clinical parameters and mds subtypes in mds pa...

Objective: Phenolic compounds have been considered inhibitors of various cancers. Material and Methods: In this study, caffeic acid and gallic acid were appraised for their possible effects on apoptotic genes expression in a breast cancer cell line in vitro. We also evaluated ligand interaction and ligand binding with estrogen receptor alpha by m...

Abstract Background An extract of Ficus religiosa latex has been previously found to possess potent pharmacological activity with high antioxidant content phytochemical. The present research was conducted investigate the chemo-preventive efficacy on human breast adenocarcinoma MDA MB 231, neroblastoma IMR 32, and colorectal HCT 116 cell lines. Results results showed that crude induced cytotoxic...

background: nigella sativa has been a nutritional flavoring factor and natural treatment for many ailments for so many years in medical science. earlier studies have been reported that thymoquinone (tq), an active compound of its seed, contains anticancer properties. previous studies have shown that tq induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells but it is unclear the role of p53 in the apoptotic p...
