Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is known for its high frequencies of polymorphisms and mutations as it is prone to oxidative stress. The aim of the present study is to assess the novel mutations in mitochondrial genes from blood samples among the breast cancer patients from a less studied Northeast Indian
The enzyme activity of cancerous tissue and the adjacent normal epithelium of 40 patients with breast cancer was determined. This enzymatic activity was correlated with the responsiveness of those tumors to the chemotherapy. It was found that the presence of cytochrome oxidase and alkaline
It was reported that cadmium is able to exert a cytotoxic effect on tumor MDA-MB231 cells, which shows signs of "non-classical" apoptosis and is characterized by drastic changes in gene expression pattern. In this study, we have extended our knowledge of metal-breast cancer cell interactions by
Cancer cells have a proliferative advantage by utilizing intermediates of aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) for their macromolecule synthesis. Although the exact causes of this Warburg effect are unclear, high osmotic stress in solid tumor microenvironment is considered one of the important
Mitochondria are dynamic intracellular organelles playing a central role in cell metabolism by generating ATP, through the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS). Altered mitochondrial functions have been identified as causative or contributing factors in some degenerative diseases and are
The identification of immunogenic antigens for serological testing and vaccine development is a major challenge facing cancer immunology research. To study the humoral immune response in patients with breast cancer, a T7 phage display cDNA library from an invasive ductal breast carcinoma was panned
The anticancer drug tamoxifen (TAM) is used as first line therapy in breast cancer. Although tamoxifen is usually considered an estrogen antagonist, several studies suggest alternative mechanisms of action. Bacillus stearothermophilus has been used as a model to clarify the antiproliferative action
BACKGROUND
Retroviral sequences 90-95% homologous to the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) were present in 38% of the breast cancers studied from American women and were not detectable in non-tumor breast tissue from the same patient. The entire proviral structure was described and viral particles
