OBJECTIVE Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1) is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity activated mainly by ligand, EGF. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteinases that catalyses the destruction of ECM, among which MMP-9 has important role in tumor cell

We have previously shown that tamoxifen+epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is synergistically cytotoxic towards oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer cells. To determine if this response would correlate with significant tumour suppression in vivo, athymic nude female mice were implanted with

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is effective against the initiation, progression, and invasion of carcinogenesis.Matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endopeptidases that hydrolyze the majority of extracellular proteins. MMP-9 is one of the most important members of the family and we

In this study we characterized (3)H-2-deoxy-d-glucose ((3)H -DG) uptake by the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF7 and the ER-negative MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines and investigated the effect of quercetin (QUE) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) upon (3)H-DG uptake, glucose metabolism

There are few effective treatment options for radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients. We conducted a single-arm trial to tested the hypothesis that topical epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is effective against radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients undergoing

In the present work, we investigated the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on triple negative breast cancer cells (Hs578T) to reduce cell proliferation and to evaluate early apoptotic signals. The dynamic monitoring of Hs578T cells treated with EGCG using the xCELLigence System confirm the

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic compound from green tea that has been shown to have anti-tumor activities such as inhibiting adhesion, migration, and proliferation of tumor cells. However, the delicate mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying the potential anticancer

Since the 1980s, the incidence of late-onset breast cancer has been increasing in the United States. Known risk factors, such as genetic modifications, have been estimated to account for approximately 5 to 10% of breast cancer cases, and these tend to be early onset. Thus, exposure to and

METHODS The aim of this research was to explore whether the tea-polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) could be used as a potential agent for blocking smoking (nicotine, Nic)- or hormone (estradiol, E2)-induced breast cancer cell proliferation through inhibition of a common signaling

High concentrations of specific catechins [epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC) and epicatechin gallate (ECG)] inhibit the proliferation of many different cancer cell lines. The aim of this work was to determine if low concentrations of catechins with and without

Recent investigations have demonstrated that polyphenolic catechins inhibit cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. However, how the major active component of tea catechins, epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG), mediates anticancerous effects has not been extensively examined. We have investigated

Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor family member Her-2/neu in breast cancer is associated with poor prognosis. With evidence accumulating for a chemopreventive role of green tea polyphenols, the effects of epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) on Her-2/neu-overexpressing breast

Tumor-associated fatty acid synthase (FAS) is implicated in tumorigenesis and connected to HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) by systemic analyses. Suppression of FAS in cancer cells may lead to growth inhibition and cell apoptosis. Our previous study demonstrated that

Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor family member Her-2/neu in breast cancer leads to autophosphorylation of the receptor and induction of multiple downstream signaling pathways, including the Akt kinase to nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) cascade that is associated with poor

Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a highly aggressive form of cancer characterized by high rates of proliferation, lymphangiogenesis and metastasis, and an overall poor survival. As regular green tea consumption has been associated with improved prognosis of breast cancer patients, including
