In comparison with activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and bulk CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, HER2-specific CTLs exhibited greater cytotoxicity against the HER2-expressing human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7 and produced higher levels of IFN-γ in response to tumor cells.
Enhanced cytotoxicity in triple-negative and estrogen receptor‑positive breast adenocarcinoma cells due to inhibition of the transient receptor potential melastatin-2 channel.
In this study, the effects of embelin treatment on estrogen receptor positive Human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells was investigated to primarily understand if embelin being an antiestrogen and XIAP inhibitor could be a potential alternative to tamoxifen therapy.
With the purpose of evaluating their effect on breast cancer biology, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, and p,p'-DDD (50-1000 nM) were tested on two human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines: MCF-7 expressing estrogen receptor (ER) α and MDA-MB-231 negative forERα, regarding cell proliferation and viability in addition to their invasive potential.
Total RNA was extracted from HLE-B3 and nHLE cells and lens tissue, as well as from human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) and subjected to RT-PCR using specific estrogen receptor primers intended to distinguish ERbeta-1-ERbeta-5 mRNA.
We report the case of a 46-year-old woman previously treated for ductal adenocarcinoma of the breast with BRCA-1 who subsequently was diagnosed with multicentric glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the right temporal and right occipital lobes.
Regarding molecular factors, all driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma had a favorable effect (EGFR, HR 0.53, 95%CI 0.31-0.89; ALK, HR 0.28, 95%CI 0.12-0.66; KRAS, HR 0.65, 95%CI 0.47-0.92), triple negative status predicted poor prognosis in breast adenocarcinoma (HR 2.04, 95%CI 1.13-3.69), while no effect of BRAF/NRAS mutations was demonstrated in melanoma BMs.
Expression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor/transcription factor (AhR) and AhR-regulated CYP1 gene transcripts in a rat model of mammary tumorigenesis.
Regarding molecular factors, all driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma had a favorable effect (EGFR, HR 0.53, 95%CI 0.31-0.89; ALK, HR 0.28, 95%CI 0.12-0.66; KRAS, HR 0.65, 95%CI 0.47-0.92), triple negative status predicted poor prognosis in breast adenocarcinoma (HR 2.04, 95%CI 1.13-3.69), while no effect of BRAF/NRAS mutations was demonstrated in melanoma BMs.
We used a tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha resistant breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell line to investigate the involvement of the actin cytoskeleton in the mechanism of cell resistance to this cytokine.
The molecular basis of cross-resistance to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and Adriamycin has been investigated using the breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF7/p, its Adriamycin-resistant counterpart MCF7AdrR, and the MDR1 gene-transduced MCF-7 cells (MCF7/MDR1).
We have investigated the relationship between the development of tumor resistance towards the cytotoxic action of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) and p53 function, using the TNF-sensitive MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line and two TNF-resistant sublines, MCF7/R-A1 and MCF7/Adr.
The <i>N</i>-hexane extract of the marine sponge <i>Hyrtios erectus</i>, collected from North Bay, South Andaman Sea, India, showed potential antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties against a breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7).The sponge extract retarded the growth of breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.The sponge extract induced apoptosis of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and arrested cells in G<sub>2</sub>/M phase.The sponge extract induced downregulation of Bcl-2 protein in MCF-7 cell line and upregulation of Bax, caspase-3, and cleaved PARP.
In addition, these compounds were evaluated for their in vitro inhibition of human cancer cell lines viz human cervical carcinoma cell line (SiHA), breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-235) and human pancreas carcinoma (PANC-1) cell lines by using the SRB assay method.
EGF was conjugated to SnCe6(ED) through a carrier, such as dextran (Dex) and human serum albumin (HSA), and the photocytotoxicity on the EGF receptor-overexpressing MDA-MB-468 breast adenocarcinoma cell line was evaluated.
We used a tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha resistant breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell line to investigate the involvement of the actin cytoskeleton in the mechanism of cell resistance to this cytokine.
Flow cytometry (A60-Micro, Apogee) was used to evaluate the ability of the generic EV markers calcein acetoxymethyl ester, calcein acetoxymethyl ester violet, carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE), 4-(2-[6-(dioctylamino)-2-naphthalenyl]ethenyl)-1-(3-sulfopropyl)pyridinium (di-8-ANEPPS), and lactadherin to stain EVs from MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line-conditioned culture medium [epithelial cell adhesion molecule positive (EpCAM<sup>+</sup>)] or platelet EVs from human plasma [integrin β3 positive (CD61<sup>+</sup>)].
Also, rhapontigenin suppressed hypoxia-induced HIF-1α activation in various cancer cells, such as colorectal adenocarcinoma (SW620), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), fibrosarcoma (HT-1080) and prostate carcinoma (LNCaP).
We recently found that Rottlerin not only inhibits proliferation but also causes Bcl-2- and Beclin 1-independent autophagic death in apoptosis-resistant breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells.
While Gal-1 treatment was not capable of regulating TGF-beta synthesis, a pronounced and dose-dependent increase in Gal-1 expression was observed when tumor cells were treated with TGF-beta(1.)This effect was also observed in the murine lung adenocarcinoma LP07 and in the human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cell lines.
