plumbagin/유방암

Novel plumbagin hydrazonates were prepared, structurally characterized and evaluated for anti-proliferative activity against estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 and triple negative MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cell lines which exhibited superior inhibitory activity than parent plumbagin

The authors regretted to find the mis-representative images in Fig. 3a, c and Fig. 4a, c when re-read our previously published article Synergistic suppression of human breast cancer cells by combination of plumbagin and zoledronic acid In vitro (DOI: 10.1038/aps.2015.42) in the journal of Acta

We have earlier shown that Plumbagin (PB) can induce selective cytotoxicity to BRCA1 defective ovarian cancer cells; however, the effect of this molecule in BRCA1 mutated breast cancers has not been analyzed yet. Here, we report that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by PB resulted in DNA DSB

HER2-overexpressing breast cancers account for about 30% of breast cancer occurrences and have been correlated with increased tumor aggressiveness and invasiveness. The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is overexpressed in a subset of HER2-positive breast cancers and its upregulation has been associated

The treatment of breast cancer-induced osteolysis remains a challenge in clinical settings. Here, we explored the effect and mechanism of combined treatment with zoledronic acid (ZA) and plumbagin (PL), a widely investigated component derived from Plumbago zeylanica, against breast cancer-induced

OBJECTIVE Natural plant products are increasingly being used in cancer therapeutic studies due to their reduced normal cell toxicity. In this study, the anti-cancer properties of plumbagin, a naphthoquinone derivative extracted from the roots of Plumbago, were evaluated in breast cancer

Tamoxifen is widely used as the first line drug for estrogen receptor-positive subtype which is expressed in 70% of overall breast cancer patients. However, approximately 50% of these patients develop acquired resistance after 5 years of treatment, which is characterized by tumor recurrence and

Studies over the past decade and half have identified cancer stem cells (CSCs) to be responsible for tumorigenesis, invasion, sustenance of metastatic disease, radio- and chemo-resistance and tumor relapse. Recent reports have described the plasticity of breast CSCs (BCSCs) to shift between the

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of plumbagin (PL), a naphthoquinone derived from the medicinal plant plumbago zeylanica, on the invasion and migration of human breast cancer cells. METHODS Human breast cancer MDA-MB-231SArfp cells were treated with different

Bone metastasis is a common and serious consequence of breast cancer. Bidirectional interaction between tumor cells and the bone marrow microenvironment drives a so-called 'vicious cycle' that promotes tumor cell malignancy and stimulates osteolysis. Targeting these interactions and pathways in the

OBJECTIVE Zoledronic acid (ZA), a bisphosphonate, is currently used in combination with chemotherapeutic agents to suppress breast cancer cell proliferation or breast cancer-induced osteolysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ZA combined with a natural anticancer compound

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death-related cancers in women. Approximately 30% of breast cancers overexpress the Her2 oncogene, which is associated with a poor prognosis and increased resistance to chemotherapy. Plumbagin (1), a constituent of species in the plant genera Drosera and

Drug-induced haploinsufficiency (DIH) in yeast has been considered a valuable tool for drug target identification. A plant metabolite, plumbagin, has potent anticancer activity via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. However, the detailed molecular targets of plumbagin for ROS generation are

We have synthesized, structurally characterized and examined cytotoxicity of novel plumbagin hydrazones against estrogen and progesterone receptor positive (ER+/PR+) MCF-7 and triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines in order to evaluate the potential of these novel phytochemical analogs.

The glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is a major chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum, and a prosurvival component of the unfolded protein response. GRP78 is upregulated in many types of cancers, including breast cancer. Research has suggested that GRP78 overexpression confers chemoresistance
