- Abstract:
- ... Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has been known to induce human ovarian cancer cells apoptosis in vitro. However, the anti-tumor mechanisms of EPA in vivo have been rarely reported. In this study, the effect of EPA on the ovarian cancer rat model and its related mechanism were investigated. The results showed after EPA treatment, the index of spleens and thymus was significantly increased, and the prol ...

Despite the promising anticancer effects of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibition, functional plasticity of kinesins induced resistance against KSP inhibitors in a variety of cancers, leading to clinical failure. Additionally, paclitaxel is a widely used anticancer agent, but drug resistance has limited its use in the recurrent cancers. To overcome resistance against KSP inhibitors, we paired K ...

- Abstract:
- ... The specific targeting of immunotoxins enables their wide application in cancer therapy. The A-chain of the ricin protein (RTA) is an N-glycosidase that catalyzes the removal of adenine from the 28S rRNA, preventing protein translation and leading to cell death. Ricin is highly toxic but can only exert its toxic effects from within the cytoplasm. In this study, we linked the anti-HER2 single-chain ...

- Abstract:
- ... The dysfunction of DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway contributes to tumorigenesis and drug-resistance in cancer. MUS81 is a member of the conserved xeroderma pigmentosum group F (XPF) family protein of endonucleases, which is important to the DDR pathway. However, the role of MUS81 in the development of ovarian cancer remains uncertain. To explore the expression of MUS81 and its association to serou ...

- Abstract:
- ... The plant 2S albumins exhibit a spectrum of biotechnologically exploitable functions. Among them, pumpkin 2S albumin has been shown to possess RNase and cell-free translational inhibitory activities. The present study investigated the anticancer, DNase and antifungal activities of pumpkin 2S albumin. The protein exhibited a strong anticancer activity toward breast cancer (MCF-7), ovarian teratocar ...
