2 nonenal/breast neoplasms

Epidemiological studies have shown that ingestion of isoflavone-rich soy products is associated with a reduced risk for the development of breast cancer. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that genistein modulates the expression of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in human breast

OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of oxidative stress during breast carcinogenesis by studying the expression of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) (a marker of oxidative DNA damage) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) (a marker of lipid peroxidation) during the different phases of breast

We investigated the mechanism of inhibition of cell proliferation by mixed isomers of CLA (9-cis, 11-trans CLA; 10-trans, 12-cis CLA) on human, non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells that were derived from mammary ductal epithelial cells and MCF7 cells that were derived from a well differentiation mammary

Breast cancer, a leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide, is one of the most common neoplasms in women. The increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in breast lesion is critically involved in the mutagenic processes that drive to breast carcinoma initiation and progression. To

Oxidative stress plays a role in carcinogenesis, but it also contributes to the modulation of tumor cells and microenvironment caused by chemotherapeutics. One of the consequences of oxidative stress is lipid peroxidation, which can, through reactive aldehydes such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE),

Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in women, mostly due to high metastatic capacity of mammary carcinoma cells. It has been revealed recently that metastases of breast cancer comprise a fraction of specific stem-like cells, denoted as cancer stem cells (CSCs). Breast CSCs,

While the refinement of existing and the development of new chemotherapeutic regimens has significantly improved cancer treatment outcomes and patient survival, chemotherapy still causes many persistent side effects. Central nervous system (CNS) toxicity is of particular concern, as cancer patients

Inhibitors of a human member (AKR1C3) of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily are regarded as promising therapeutics for the treatment of prostatic and breast cancers. Baccharin [3-prenyl-4-(dihydrocinnamoyloxy)cinnamic acid], a component of propolis, was shown to be both potent (Ki 56 nM) and highly

Studies of the decades-long latent stages of breast carcinogenesis have been limited to when hyperplastic lesions are already present. Investigations of earlier stages of breast cancer (BC) latency have been stymied by the lack of fiducial biomarkers needed to identify where in histologically normal

This study examined the expression of oxidative damage markers 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and nitrotyrosine using immunohistochemical techniques. In addition, DNA topoisomerase II binding protein 1 (TopBP1) and mismatch repair proteins 2 and 6 (MSH2 and MSH6) were

Current knowledge of changes in the mammary epithelium relevant to breast carcinogenesis is limited to when histological changes are already present because of a lack of biomarkers needed to identify where such molecular changes might be ongoing at earlier during the of decades-long latent stages of

Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum, CDDP) is widely used for treatment of patients with solid tumors formed in various organs including the lung, prostate and cervix, but is much less sensitive in colon and breast cancers. One major factor implicated in the ineffectiveness has been suggested to
