BACKGROUND Tamoxifen (TAM) a non-steroidal antiestrogen, is widely used in adjuvant therapy for all stages of breast carcinomas and in chemoprevention of high-risk group. TAM also has estrogenic activity on liver and endometrium causing severe oxidative stress with various biochemical derangements.

The influence of riboflavin (vitamin B(2) ) upon growth, invasion, and migration in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines was evaluated. Riboflavin at 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, or 400 μmol/L was added into A549, H3255, or Calu-6 cells. The effects of this compound upon level and/or expression of

OBJECTIVE Tamoxifen (TAM), a non-steroidal anti-estrogen that is widely used in adjuvant therapy for all stages of breast carcinomas and in chemoprevention of high-risk group. The hepatic estrogenic effect of TAM induces hypertriglyceridemia by reduced activity of lipolytic enzymes (LPL) on

In two surveys in The Peoples Republic of China, blood samples were collected for nutritional studies in two counties where the risks of esophageal cancer are very different. The first survey was done in May 1980 in Linxian County (Henan Province) where the risk of esophageal cancer is very high.

OBJECTIVE In breast cancer, a significant decrease in riboflavin (RF) serum levels and increase in RF carrier protein occurs, indicating a potential role of RF in disease progression. To evaluate RF's ability to serve as a targeting agent, mitomycin C (MMC)-conjugated

Photoacoustic imaging is an emerging method in the molecular imaging field, providing high spatiotemporal resolution and sufficient imaging depths for many clinical applications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use photoacoustic imaging as a tool to evaluate a riboflavin (RF)-based targeted

Cisplatin used in treatment of solid tumor induces oxidative stress which leads to hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. New strategies are therefore needed to combat toxicity and optimize its therapeutic potential. Riboflavin (VitaminB2) under photoillumination works as an anti proliferative agent and

Photosensitisation of riboflavin (Rf) activates aminophylline (Am) resulting into the formation of a highly pro-oxidant Am-Rf system. We have previously shown its macromolecular damaging response in human peripheral lymphocytes, however, its potential inside a cancer cell is yet to be explored.

Riboflavin is a potent photosensitizer as well as part of the vitamin B complex. Recently we demonstrated that the products generated by irradiation of riboflavin have potential as anti-leukaemic therapy. The possible action, however, of the riboflavin photoproducts in solid cancers has not been

The accompanied tissue devastation and systemic toxicity of chemotherapy has shifted the quest for having an effective and palliative cancer therapy towards photodynamic therapy (PDT). Riboflavin (Rf), an essential micronutrient is emerging as a potent tool of PDT, due to its excellent

BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), hydroxyl radical have been implicated in pathogenesis of various diseases including cancer and metastasis. Tamoxifen (TAM) is a non-steroidal anti-estrogen drug most widely used as an adjuvant hormonal

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) has been thought to be a promising antitumoral agent in photodynamic therapy, though the further application of the method was limited by the unclear molecular mechanism. Our work reveals that riboflavin was able to recognize G-T mismatch specifically and induce single-strand

Patients with cervical precancerous lesions were double blindly divided into 2 groups and treated with either Retinamide II (RII) or Riboflavin (VB2) suppository. The suppository containing RII 20mg or VB2 5mg was given intravaginally daily for 100 days, divided into 2 courses. Clinical examination,

A variety of polarized epithelial cells, such as human breast cancer (MCF-7), have mechanistically evolved the ability to adapt to the dynamic cellular environment and maintain homeostasis of an array of micronutrients which display conditional requirements. Active absorption mechanisms, including

OBJECTIVE In the present investigation, we prepared and evaluated the paclitaxel loaded riboflavin and thiamine conjugated multi walled carbon nanotubes (PTX-Rf-MWCNTs and PTX-Tm-MWCNTs) for targeted delivery to cancer employing MCF-7 cancer cell lines. METHODS The developed conjugates were
