Cardenolide-Induced Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization Demonstrates Therapeutic Benefits in Experimental Human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2006
Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are the leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. Targeting heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression and function, together with the induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), could ...

Bufalin‐Induced Epithelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition in Kidney Epithelial Cells

open access: yesCell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 1764-1786, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The kidney plays a central role in fluid, electrolyte, and blood pressure regulation, processes tightly coupled to Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase activity. Beyond its canonical transport function, Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase also acts as a signaling receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTSs) such as bufalin, which have been implicated in fibrosis and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal
