BACKGROUND Recently, increasing attention has been given to neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) of Prostate Cancer and its diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential. During multistep carcinogenesis, cytodifferentiation of malignant/premalignant cells into more mature or normal-like cells,

Altered cell and tissue differentiation is characteristic of premalignant lesions long before they become invasive and metastatic. One approach to controlling preneoplastic lesions is to block their expansion with non-toxic agents that suppress cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. Here, we show

Over expression of Protein kinase (CK2) suppresses apoptosis induced by a variety of agents, whereas down-regulation of CK2 sensitizes cells to induction of apoptosis. In this study, we have built quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models, which were trained and tested on

Globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiotherapy are currently available treatment options for breast cancer therapy. However, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiotherapy

Dual-modality contrast agents for T₁-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic imaging have attracted substantial attention as they combine the advantages of unlimited penetration depth and high sensitivity. However, most of the reported agents are Gd-based materials

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men. Despite the available treatments for PCa, a significant number of patients relapse as the disease becomes hormonal‑independent. p53 is a common tumor suppressor; however, its activity is diminished via the overexpression of murine double

In this study, following encapsulation of ellagic acid (EA), an anti-cancer agent, loaded in schizophyllan (EA/SPG-NP) and chitin (EA/Ch-NP) nanoparticles, its release in 95% ethanol, and different mediums of digestive systems with pH ranging 1.5 to 7.4, were examined before investigating for

The fact that the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is one of the most frequently deregulated signaling networks has triggered intensive efforts in the development of PI3K pathway inhibitors. However, recent clinical trial data have shown only limited activity of PI3K inhibitors

Ellagic acid is a phenolic compound present in fruits and nuts including raspberries, strawberries and walnuts. It is known to inhibit certain carcinogen-induced cancers and may have other chemopreventive properties. The effects of ellagic acid on cell cycle events and apoptosis were studied in

The crystal and molecular structure of ellagic acid dihydrate has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. This acid inhibits the carcinogenic properties of a variety of chemical compounds including benzo[alpha]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide, aflatoxin B1, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea,

Ellagic acid (EA) has been proposed as a promising candidate for therapeutic use in colon cancer. Investigation of the effectiveness of EA in a leptin-enriched model might have been given a little interest. Here in, we investigated the anti-tumor effect of EA in the presence of leptin to reflect on

The inhibitory effects of three phenolic compounds (ferulic, chlorogenic and ellagic acids) on benzo[a]pyrene- and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced neoplasia have been investigated in mice. Ellagic acid was the most potent antagonist of tumorigenesis since this compound is active, by i.p.

Three new large hexanuclear metalla-prisms 9-11 incorporating 1,3, 5-tris(pyridin-4-ylethynyl)benzene (tpeb) 4 and one of the dinuclear arene ruthenium clips [Ru2(p-iPrC6H4Me)2(OO∩OO)][CF3SO3]2 (OO∩OO =2,5-dioxydo-1,4-benzoquinonato [dobq] 1, 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinonato (donq) 2, and

Ellagic acid (EA), a polyphenol present in berries, has been demonstrated to prevent oesophageal and colon cancer in animals. To better understand the site-specificity of these effects, we studied the accumulation and transport of [14C]EA in rat aerodigestive epithelial cells in-vivo and in cultured

Ellagic acid (EA), a polyphenol present in many berries, has been demonstrated to be preventive of esophageal cancer in animals both at the initiation and promotion stages. To be able to extrapolate these findings to humans we have studied the transcellular absorption and epithelial cell
