cladribine, an analogue of deoxyadenosine, is highly toxic for both non-dividing and proliferating cells and has shown activity in the treatment of several malignancies. therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the cytotoxicity effect of cladribine (2-cda) on the breast cancer cell line, mcf-7 (estrogen receptor positive, er+). mtt assay, annexin v-fluorescein/pi and hoechst 33...

fragrant species of the genus salvia have been attributed many medicinal properties, which include anticancer activity. in the present study, cytotoxic properties of total methanol extract of salvia chloroleuca rech. f. & aellen and its fractions were investigated on mcf-7, a breast carcinoma cell line. malignant and non-malignant cells were cultured in rpmi medium and incubated with different ...

background: pattern recognition receptors (prrs) are the main sensors of pathogen and danger signals in innate immunity of which toll like receptors (tlrs) are the most studied ones. the contribution of prrs in cerebral inflammation induced by microbial infection, tissue damage and cancer has not extensively been addressed so far. glioma is the most common tumor of the central nervous system an...

background: interfering with cell proliferation and survival is a critical role for antineoplastic drugs leading to cell death through induction of apoptosis. alternative treatments with herbal extracts offer insights into acute myeloid leukemia (aml) therapy. parthenolide (ptl), an extract from feverfew, induces apoptosis in primary human leukemia stem cells (lscs) and bulk leukemic cell popul...

Cancer is one of the main causes of mortality. Therapeutic importance in some diseases, especially cancers has led to considering the anti-cancer effects of probiotics more than ever. Probiotics have stimulatory effects on the immunity and suppressor effects on cancer activity. Various studies report that probiotic bacteria have cytotoxicity effects on different types of solid tumors. In this r...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate inhibition and anti-cancer effects of linoleic acid on the mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 human breast cancer cells. materials and methods: cell lines human breast cancer mcf-7 (gdc055) and mda-mb-231 (htb-26) cell lines were obtained from atcc. mcf-7 estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line and  the estrogen receptor negative huma...

In a systematic effort to identify a potent antiproliferative agent, four complexes of vanadium containing maltol and deferiprone ligands were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five human and animal cancer cell lines, including human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), human cervix epithelial carcinoma (HeLa), human colon cancer cell line (HT-29), human leukemia cell line ...
