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...

abstract background: the aims of this study were to assay the activity of adenosine deaminase (ada) in estrogen receptor positive (mcf-7) and negative (mda-mb468) breast cancer cell lines. methods: mda-mb468 and mcf-7 breast cancer cell lines were cultured in complete medium, striped serum with and without 0.0 1~-lm diethylstilbestrol (des), complete medium in the presence and absence of 111m t...

psa is a 33-kda serine protease that is produced predominantly by prostate epithelium. however, it has been shown that about 30-40% of female breast tumors produce psa and its production is associated with the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors. we have now developed a new tissue culture system to study psa production in breast cancer and its association with prognostic factors suc...

background breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women around the world so finding new biomarkers for early detection and also study on molecular aspects of breast cancer is valuable. cancer testis genes are a group of genes expressed solely in testis and in a range of human malignancies. objectives in this study we determined the expression of cancer testis genes tsga10, tex101 and od...

background cancer stem cells play crucial roles in resistance to therapeutic schemes and relapse of disease, so it is important to find targeted therapies that kill them selectively. breast cancer is the most common cancer in females living in all part of the world including iran and it has an important burden in public health with direct impact on patients’ families. breast cancer in young adu...

One of the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeted therapy of cancer is the use of chimeric proteins. The p28 peptide has the ability of selective entrance and activating apoptosis in breast cancer cells. The NRC antimicrobial peptide showed cytotoxic activity on various breast cancer including drug-resistant variants but also normal cell lines. Here we designed a chimeric protein consiste...
