Among them, a sterol, 3β,11-dihydroxy-9,11-secogorgost-5-en-9-one (compound <b>1</b>), showed the highest PPARγ activity with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 8.3 μM for inhibiting human breast adenocarcinoma cell (MCF-7) growth.
Cytotoxicity assay (MTT), flow-cytometric univariate cell cycle analysis, Annexin V-FITC staining and DNA fragmentation for cell death mechanism suggested that compound 3d with chloro-substituted phenyl ring induced enhanced cytotoxicity by an apoptotic pathway with high differential toxicity to breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) when compared with normal human dermal fibroblast cells.
In this study, the MacLow mouse model of doxycycline-inducible and selective CD68+ macrophage depletion was crossed with the murine mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-Polyoma virus middle T antigen (PyMT) mouse model of spontaneous ductal breast adenocarcinoma to generate the PyMT-MacLow line.
In current study, radiolabeling and preclinical evaluation of 4-benzyl-1-(3-[<sup>125</sup>I]-iodobenzylsulfonyl)piperidine, 4-B-[<sup>125</sup>I]IBSP, in human ductal breast carcinoma (T47D) cells and in breast adenocarcinoma-bearing BALB/c mice are described.
Furthermore, the samples were screened, using in vitro assays, against different human tumor cell lines, MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer), HeLa (cervical carcinoma) and HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma), and also against non-tumor liver cells (porcine liver cells, PLP2).
Our results suggest that the bach1-specific small interfering RNA effectively decrease CXCR4 receptor, matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and breast adenocarcinoma cells invasive, also increased the expression of tumor-suppressive microRNA-203 and miR-145.
Here, we show in a p53-null mouse model of sporadic invasive breast adenocarcinoma that heterozygosity for Tip60 deletion promotes mammary tumorigenesis.
The aim of the present study was to study the impact of altered actin transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus by the downregulation of importin-9 (IPO9) in breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells exposed to an apoptosis-inducing combination of garlic-derived S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (alliin) and paclitaxel (PTX).
Present study explored the effect of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural isothiocyanate, found in cruciferous vegetables on the expression of HIF-1α and HSP90 in breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) under both normoxia and hypoxia.
CK19 was expressed in tumor cell of different origin, showing higher expression in invasive breast cancer with ER(+) (BT474) than invasive breast cancer with ER(-) (BT549) and breast adenocarcinoma with ER(-) (SKBR3).
Western blot and real-time PCR analyses revealed that d-allose significantly induced TXNIP expression and inhibited GLUT1 expression in a dose-dependent manner in three human cancer cell lines: hepatocellular carcinoma (HuH-7), Caucasian breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231), and neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y).
We found that silencing WISP2 signaling in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF7 cells impairs CTL-mediated cell killing by a mechanism involving stem cell marker Kruppel-like factor-4 (KLF-4) induction and microRNA-7 (miR-7) downregulation.
Treatment of MCF-7 (Michigan Cancer Foundation-7) breast adenocarcinoma cells with MELK-T1 induced the accumulation of stalled replication forks and double-strand breaks that culminated in a replicative senescence phenotype.
TRPM2 inhibition led to dose-dependent increases in MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cell death after treatment with doxorubicin or the DNA-methylating agent, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.
We found that silencing WISP2 signaling in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF7 cells impairs CTL-mediated cell killing by a mechanism involving stem cell marker Kruppel-like factor-4 (KLF-4) induction and microRNA-7 (miR-7) downregulation.
With the purpose of evaluating their effect on breast cancer biology, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, and p,p'-DDD (50-1000 nM) were tested on two human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines: MCF-7 expressing estrogen receptor (ER) α and MDA-MB-231 negative for ERα, regarding cell proliferation and viability in addition to their invasive potential.
The aim of this study was to construct a lentiviral vector of RSK4-shRNA (Lenti-RSK4-shRNA) to specifically block the expression of RSK4 in the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7, and investigate the effect of the RSK4 gene on cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and in vivo.
