Journal ArticleDOI

Anandamide inhibits adhesion and migration of breast cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is proposed thatCB1 receptor agonists inhibit tumor cell invasion and metastasis by modulating FAK phosphorylation, and that CB1 receptor activation might represent a novel therapeutic strategy to slow down the growth of breast carcinoma and to inhibit its metastatic diffusion in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of olive oil polyphenols on fatty acid synthase gene expression and activity in human colorectal cancer cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HT and OL may induce anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects only in certain human colorectal cancer cell types, with effects are FAS mediated only in SW620 cells after treatment with HT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lactobacillus GG restoration of the gliadin induced epithelial barrier disruption: the role of cellular polyamines

TL;DR: Gliadin modifies the intestinal paracellular permeability and significantly increases the polyamine content in Caco-2 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti Proliferative and Pro Apoptotic Effects of Flavonoid Quercetin Are Mediated by CB1 Receptor in Human Colon Cancer Cell Lines

TL;DR: The experiments, using human colon adenocarcinoma cells, confirmed the anti proliferative effect of quercetin and gave intriguing new insight in to the knowledge of the mechanisms involved and open new perspectives for anticancer therapeutic strategies.
