Journal ArticleDOI

Apple polyphenol phloretin potentiates the anticancer actions of paclitaxel through induction of apoptosis in human hep G2 cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 50–150 µM Ph significantly potentiates DNA laddering induced in Hep G2 cells by 10 nM PTX, suggesting that Ph may be useful for cancer chemotherapy and chemoprevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms of apoptosis induced by magnolol in colon and liver cancer cells.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the above‐listed sequence of intracellular events led to the apoptosis seen in Hep G2 cells and that [Ca2+]i, Cyto c, and Fas function as intrACEllular signals to coordinate those events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosstalk between nicotine and estrogen-induced estrogen receptor activation induces α9-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expression in human breast cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is observed that breast tumors with higher α9-nAChR mRNA expression levels were associated with the lowest 5-year disease-specific survival rate, and in vitro promoter-binding assays demonstrated that the ER is a major transcription factor that mediates nicotine- and E2-induced up-regulation of α 9-n AChR gene expression in MCF-7 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nicotine enhances colon cancer cell migration by induction of fibronectin

TL;DR: Nicotine, tobacco’s additive toxin, enhances colon cancer metastasis through α7-nAChR and fibronectin—a mesenchymal marker for epithelial meschymal transition and COX-2 signal was involved in the induction of fibronECTin, suggesting smoking may play role in the progression of colon cancer.
