We tested the ability of dopamine, apomorphine, phenylethylamine and pergolide to inhibit the proliferation of fetal calf serum-stimulated human breast cancer (MCF)-7 cells. While the first three compounds were able to block the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, pergolide failed to do so (up to 100
OBJECTIVE
We have shown that ginsenoside Rg1 is a novel class of potent phytoestrogen and activates insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) signalling pathway in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The present study tested the hypothesis that the neuroprotective actions of Rg1 involved
In addition to the occurrence of pain, the evidence of a diminished capacity to feel pleasure is one of the most common cancer-related symptoms. Recent advances in psychoneuroendocrinological knowledge has shown that the perception of pleasure is mainly mediated by the dopaminergic pathways in the
According to recent advances in psychoneuroimmunology concerning the neurobiochemistry of emotions, the pshychological status of cancer patients should be investigated in relation to the function of the psychoneurodocrine system, in an attempt to put into evidence possible cancer progression-related
An in silico chemical genomics approach is developed to predict drug repositioning (DR) candidates for three types of cancer: glioblastoma, lung cancer, and breast cancer. It is based on a recent large-scale dataset of ~20,000 drug-induced expression profiles in multiple cancer cell lines, which
