Modulation of ABCC1 and ABCG2 proteins by ouabain in human breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

ABCC1 and ABCG2 are two transporters associated with multi-drug resistance to cancer chemotherapy. Ouabain is a cardiotonic steroid, currently considered as a hormone associated with arterial hypertension. Previous studies have suggested that ouabain can modulate ABCB1 and ABCC1 expression in cancer

Apoptosis-mediated cytotoxicity of ouabain, digoxin and proscillaridin A in the estrogen independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined the effects of three cardiac glycosides, ouabain, digoxin and proscillaridin A, on the proliferation of estrogen independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. In terms of reduction in cell viability, the compounds rank for both 24 h and 48 h of incubation in MDA-MB-231 cells in the order

Antiproliferative activity of derivatives of ouabain, digoxin and proscillaridin A in human MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three derivatives of ouabain, digoxin and proscillaridin A containing the carboxylic group instead of the lactone moiety were synthesized and examined for cytotoxicity in human breast cancer cells. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of these compounds employing an MTT assay and inhibition of

Inhibition of DNA topoisomerases I and II, and growth inhibition of breast cancer MCF-7 cells by ouabain, digoxin and proscillaridin A.

Only registered users can translate articles

We evaluated the cytotoxicity and underlying mechanisms of cardiac glycosides, including digoxin, ouabain and proscillaridin A, on the proliferation of breast cancer MCF-7 cells. In terms of inhibition of cell proliferation of MCF-7 cells, the compounds rank in the order proscillaridin

Sodium/potassium ATPase (Na+, K+-ATPase) and ouabain/related cardiac glycosides: A new paradigm for development of anti- breast cancer drugs?

Only registered users can translate articles

Prolonged exposure to 17beta-estradiol (E2) is a key etiological factor for human breast cancer. The biological effects and carcinogenic effects of E2 are mediated via estrogen receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta. Anti-estrogens, e.g. tamoxifen, and aromatase inhibitors have been used to treat

Characterization of inorganic phosphate transport in the triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recent studies demonstrate that interstitial inorganic phosphate is significantly elevated in the breast cancer microenvironment as compared to normal tissue. In addition it has been shown that breast cancer cells express high levels of the NaPi-IIb carrier (SLC34A2), suggesting that this carrier

Actein inhibits the Na+-K+-ATPase and enhances the growth inhibitory effect of digitoxin on human breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Na+K+-ATPase is a known target of cardiac glycosides such as digitoxin and ouabain. We determined that the enzyme also is a target of the structurally-related triterpene glycoside actein, present in the herb black cohosh. Actein's inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity was less potent than that of

A combination of curcumin with either gramicidin or ouabain selectively kills cells that express the multidrug resistance-linked ABCG2 transporter.

Only registered users can translate articles

This paper introduces a strategy to kill selectively multidrug-resistant cells that express the ABCG2 transporter (also called breast cancer resistance protein, or BCRP). The approach is based on specific stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by ABCG2 transporters with subtoxic doses of curcumin combined

The static magnetic field effects on ouabain H3 binding by cancer tissue.

Only registered users can translate articles

Radioactive labeled ouabain was used for estimating the static magnetic field (SMF) induced cell volume changes. Ouabain is a specific inhibitor of Na+/K+ ATPase, and can be used for estimating its quantity--thus giving information about the cell volume changes. Ouabain binding by cancer and normal

Inorganic cation dependence of putrescine and spermidine transport in human breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The mechanism of polyamine uptake in mammalian cells is still poorly understood. The role of inorganic cations in polyamine transport was investigated in ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cells. Although strongly temperature dependent, neither putrescine nor spermidine uptake was mediated by a Na+

Rubidium-86 uptake by red blood cells of breast cancer patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

The red blood cell (RBC) uptake of rubidium-86 (Rb-86), a sensitive in vitro test of RBC membrane transport, was measured in 22 controls, 8 patients with benign breast lesions, and 30 stage I/II, 13 stage III/IV untreated breast cancers. Total Rb-86 transport was measured. Following ouabain block,

Human breast tumor cells are more resistant to cardiac glycoside toxicity than non-tumorigenic breast cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cardiotonic steroids (CTS), specific inhibitors of Na,K-ATPase activity, have been widely used for treating cardiac insufficiency. Recent studies suggest that low levels of endogenous CTS do not inhibit Na,K-ATPase activity but play a role in regulating blood pressure, inducing cellular kinase

Vacuolar ATPase driven potassium transport in highly metastatic breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women and thus has received a great deal of attention by researchers. Recent studies suggested decreased occurrence of cancer in patients treated with cardiac glycosides (CGs) for heart conditions. Because CGs induce their cellular effects via

Ouabain impairs cancer metabolism and activates AMPK-Src signaling pathway in human cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

In addition to the well-known cardiotonic effects, cardiac glycosides (CGs) produce potent anticancer effects with various molecular mechanisms. We previously show that ouabain induces autophagic cell death in human lung cancer cells by regulating AMPK-mediated mTOR and Src-mediated ERK1/2 signaling

Digitalis-induced signaling by Na+/K+-ATPase in human breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Because beneficial effects of digitalis treatment in breast cancer patients have been suggested by epidemiological studies, we explored the mechanism of the growth inhibitory effects of these drugs on the estrogen receptor-negative human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-435 s. Ouabain concentrations
