TL;DR: The findings suggest that tanshinone IIA might have potential anticancer activity on both ER‐positive and ‐negative breast cancers, which could be attributed in part to its inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis induction of cancer cells through upregulation and downregulation of multiple genes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that LFP extract might have potential anticancer activity on both ER positive and negative breast cancers, which could be attributed, in part, to its DNA damage effect, proliferating inhibition and apoptosis induction of cancer cells through up-regulation and down-regulation of multiple genes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that tanshinone IIA exhibited strong effects on growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis and differentiation in human glioma cells, and might serve as a novel promising differentiation-inducing and/or therapeutic agent for humangliomas.

TL;DR: The findings showed that LFP extract exhibited potential anticancer activity against hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in vivo through proliferating inhibition and apoptosis induction of cancer cells.

TL;DR: Tanshinone IIA is a derivative of phenanthrene-quinone isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza BUNGE, which is a traditional herbal medicine that is used to treat cardiovascular diseases.
