PURPOSE:
The prevalence of phenotypes of Arylamine N-acetyltransferase-2(NAT2) gene (i.e. fast, intermediate and slow acetylators) among ethnic groups, as well as the association studies regarding NAT2 polymorphisms and ...
Mitotic Arrest and Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells Induced by Origanum majorana Extract: Upregulation of TNF-α and Downregulation of Survivin and Mutant p53
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
Background: In the present study, we investigated the effect of Origanum majorana ethanolic extract on the survival of the highly proliferative and invasive triple-negative p53 mutant breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. ...
Anti-Metastatic and Anti-Tumor Growth Effects of Origanum majorana on Highly Metastatic Human Breast Cancer Cells: Inhibition of NFκB Signaling and Reduction of Nitric Oxide Production
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
Background: We have recently reported that Origanum majorana exhibits anticancer activity by promoting cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of the metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. Here, we extended our study by ...
Carnosol induces ROS-mediated beclin1-independent autophagy and apoptosis in triple negative breast cancer
(
Public Library of Science
, 2014 , Article)
Background: In this study we investigated the in vitro and in vivo anticancer effect of carnosol, a naturally occurring polyphenol, in triple negative breast cancer.Results: We found that carnosol significantly inhibited ...
CD146, a novel target of CD44-signaling, suppresses breast tumor cell invasion.
(2017 , Article)
We have previously validated three novel CD44-downstream positively regulated transcriptional targets, including Cortactin, Survivin and TGF-β2, and further characterized the players underlying their separate signaling ...
Potential Novel Therapy Targets in Neuroendocrine Carcinomas of the Breast.
(

IntroductionSpindle cell carcinoma is a rare subtype of metaplastic breast cancer (MBC), with triple-negative (TNBC: ER-/PR-/Her2-) phenotype. It is associated with a marked resistance to conventional chemotherapy and has ...
Preparation and characterization of letrozole-loaded poly(d,l-lactide) nanoparticles for drug delivery in breast cancer therapy
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Letrozole (LTZ), an aromatase inhibitor used for the treatment of hormonally-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women, has poor water solubility, rapid metabolism, and a range of side effects. In this study, polymer-based ...
Substantial cell apoptosis provoked by naked PAMAM dendrimers in HER2-positive human breast cancer via JNK and ERK1/ERK2 signalling pathways
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
HER2-positive breast cancer is one of its most challenging subtypes, forming around 15–25% of the total cases. It is characterized by aggressive behavior and treatment resistance. On the other hand, poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) ...
