Journal ArticleDOI
Nimbolide upregulates RECK by targeting miR-21 and HIF-1α in cell lines and in a hamster oral carcinogenesis model.
Jaganathan Kowshik,Rajakishore Mishra,Josephraj Sophia,Satabdi Rautray,Kumaraswamy Anbarasu,G. Deepak Reddy,Madhulika Dixit,Sundarasamy Mahalingam,Siddavaram Nagini +8 more
TL;DR: Findings provide compelling evidence that targeting RECK, a keystone protein that regulates mediators of invasion and angiogenesis with phytochemicals such as nimbolide may be a robust therapeutic approach to prevent oral cancer progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycogen synthase kinases: Moonlighting proteins with theranostic potential in cancer.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the intricate interactions between G SKS-3 and oncogenic signalling circuits as well as the feasibility of targeting GSK-3 for the treatment of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nimbolide, a neem limonoid inhibits cytoprotective autophagy to activate apoptosis via modulation of the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signalling pathway in oral cancer.
Josephraj Sophia,Jaganathan Kowshik,Anju Dwivedi,Sujit K. Bhutia,Bramanandam Manavathi,Rajakishore Mishra,Siddavaram Nagini +6 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the molecular mechanisms by which nimbolide augments apoptosis by overcoming the shielding effects of cytoprotective autophagy through modulation of the phosphorylation status of Akt and GSK-3β as well as the ncRNAs miR-126 and HOTAIR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nimbolide, a neem limonoid inhibits Phosphatidyl Inositol-3 Kinase to activate Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β in a hamster model of oral oncogenesis.
Josephraj Sophia,Kranthi Kiran Kishore T.,Jaganathan Kowshik,Rajakishore Mishra,Siddavaram Nagini +4 more
TL;DR: The present study has unravelled aberrant phosphorylation as a key determinant for oncogenic signalling and acquisition of cancer hallmarks in the HBP model and provided mechanistic insights into the chemotherapeutic potential of nimbolide that may be a useful addition to the armamentarium of natural compounds targeting PI3K for oral cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blueberry inhibits invasion and angiogenesis in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced oral squamous cell carcinogenesis in hamsters via suppression of TGF-β and NF-κB signaling pathways
Abdul Basit Baba,Jaganathan Kowshik,Jayaraman Krishnaraj,Josephraj Sophia,Madhulika Dixit,Siddavaram Nagini +5 more
TL;DR: Blueberry supplementation inhibited the development and progression of HBP carcinomas by abrogating TGF-β and PI3K/Akt pathways and inhibited angiogenesis in ECV304 cells by suppressing migration and tube formation, suggesting that targeting oncogenic signaling pathways that influence acquisition of cancer hallmarks is an effective strategy for chemointervention.
