This study was designed to assess whether histological and biological factors of breast cancer can predict chemoresponse to specific agents. Adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA) was employed to retrieve chemoresponse to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxetaxel, doxorubicin,

Chemosensitivity testing in vitro of breast cancer has been difficult because of small tumour volume, an even smaller yield of viable cells after disaggregation, and the low evaluability rate and sensitivity of current assays. We have employed an alternative approach that quantitates intracellular

OBJECTIVE The empirical use of a chemotherapy regimen shows different results in individual breast cancer patient treatment. Recent studies showed the effectiveness of the adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA). However, little is known about the correlation between

The adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA) has the advantages of standardization, evaluability, reproducibility, and accuracy, and can be performed on relatively small numbers of tumor cells. A total of 43 patients were enrolled in the present study, and chemosensitivity

In previous studies we have reported that preactivated merocyanine 540 (pMC540) and its chemically synthesized isolates merocil and merodantoin mediate their preferential cytotoxicity towards certain types of malignant cells including human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of

We have used 31P- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure key metabolite levels and fluxes through enzymes regulating phospholipid and mitochondrial metabolism in normal human mammary epithelial cells. We have compared these values to those found in a progression series of breast

This presentation gives a summary of the chemosensitivity test results in breast cancer using the ATP-Cell-Viability Assay (ATP-CVA). Other assays and test systems for chemosensitivity testing are also evaluated. Our results with the ATP-CVA in breast cancer cell lines showed that this test system

Snake venom possesses various kinds of proteins and neurotoxic polypeptides, which can negatively interfere with the neurotransmitter signaling cascade. This phenomenon occurs mainly due to the blocking of ion channels in the body system. Envenomation prevents or severely interrupts nerve impulses

The activities of NTPDase (EC 3.6.1.5, apyrase, CD39) and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5, CD73) enzymes were analyzed in platelets from breast cancer patients. Initially, patients were compared in terms of length (years) of tamoxifen use. The following groups were studied: breast cancer patients who

Targeting glycolysis for cancer treatment has been investigated as a therapeutic method but has not offered a feasible chemotherapeutic strategy. Our aim was to examine whether AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a conditional oncogene, rescues the energetic stress and cytotoxicity induced by

Expression of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) transporter and P-glycoprotein are associated with resistance to anticancer drugs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of single nucleotide polymorphism in the ABCB1 and CYP3A genes in breast cancer patients who

Accumulating evidence suggests that β-catenin signaling in breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) is closely correlated to chemoresistance and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette subfamily G2 (ABCG2) expression. Targeting the aberrant β-catenin signaling in CSCs has become a promising strategy to

OBJECTIVE One important mechanism for chemoresistance of tumours is overexpression of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp reduces intracellular concentrations of chemotherapeutic drugs. The aim of this study was to compare the suitability of the

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among females and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding cassette E1 (ABCE1) gene is a member of the ATP‑binding cassette (ABC) family. Studies in lung cancer have shown that overexpression of ABCE1 in tumor cells promotes growth and inhibits
