Involvement of Cox-2 in the metastatic potential of chemotherapy-resistant breast cancer cells

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2011
Background A major problem with the use of current chemotherapy regimens for several cancers, including breast cancer, is development of intrinsic or acquired drug resistance, which results in disease recurrence and metastasis.

Transcriptomic Changes in Cisplatin-Resistant MCF-7 Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Cisplatin is used for treatment, but the development of resistance in cancer cells is a significant concern. This study aimed to investigate changes in the transcriptomes of cisplatin-resistant MCF7 cells.

Rapid Microfluidic Drug Sensitivity Testing Within 5 Days Using Minimal Clinical Tumor Samples

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops the air‐punched fabrication approach for nanoliter‐scale microcavity arrays with ultra‐smooth microcavity surfaces, with which rapid formation and 3D culture of tumor cell spheroids from small numbers of cell samples, as well as high‐throughput drug sensitivity testing can be achieved within 5 days.

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Breast Cancer Metastasis by Interleukin-8- and Interleukin-6-Dependent Induction of CD44/CD24 Cells

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2015
Although emerging evidence links mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with cancer metastasis, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In the present study, we found that human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) promoted MCF-7 cell migration in vitro

Anti-apoptotic action of zearalenone in MCF-7 cells

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2005
Zearalenone (ZEA), a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin, is present in high concentrations in dairy products and cereals. Studies have indicated that ZEA could strongly provoke proliferation in estrogen-dependent breast cancer MCF-7 cells following estrogen ablation.

Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

Co-culture of apoptotic breast cancer cells with immature dendritic cells: a novel approach for DC-based vaccination in breast cancer

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2012
A dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine strategy could reduce the risk of recurrence and improve the survival of breast cancer patients. However, while therapy-induced apoptosis of hepatocellular and colorectal carcinoma cells can enhance maturation and ...

An estrogen-dependent esterase activity in MCF-7 cells

open access: yesJournal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1987
The presence of steroidal esters in hormonally sensitive tissues lends importance to the esterases which convert the biologically inactive adducts to the parent potent forms. Accordingly, esterase-activities were studied in a human breast cancer model--the MCF-7 cell line. Tritiated estradiol esters- estradiol-17-acetate (EA), estradiol-17-valerate (EV)

Dipiperazine‐Phenyl Derivatives Based on Convergent Molecular Platforms Can Reverse Multidrug Resistance in Gram‐Negative Bacteria by Inhibiting Efflux and Permeabilizing Cell Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating a convergent molecular platform strategy, this study designed a novel dual‐target C5 to combat multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria. C5 synergistically enhances antibiotic efficacy by inhibiting efflux pumps and increasing bacterial membrane permeability.
