In this study, we investigated the antitumor activity of icariin (ICA) in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in vitro and in vivo and explored the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) signaling in this activity. ICA treatment resulted in a dose- and time-dependent decrease in the
OBJECTIVE
Gemcitabine has been increasingly prescribed for the treatment of gallbladder cancer. However, the response rate is low. The aim of this study is to determine whether icariin, a flavonoid isolated from Epimedi herba, could potentiate the antitumor activity of gemcitabine in gallbladder
Cellular movement is mainly orchestrated by actin-dependent cytoskeleton in which Rho GTPase Rac1 or vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) closely collaborates. In the present in vitro study, we investigated the inhibitory effect and underlying molecular mechanism of icariin, a pure extract
Cancer immunotherapy has attracted much attention in recent years because of the ability of immune system to identify tumor cells and limit their growth. Icariin (ICA) is a natural flavonoid glucoside isolated from Epimedium plants and has shown a variety of pharmacological activities such as
Cervical cancer causes significant morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. The currently available treatment options are not efficacious and also create severe adverse effects. It is apparent that new therapeutic approaches are needed for this cancer. In this study, we examined Thyroid cancer (TC) is a familiar cancer, which accounts for approximately 1% of the malignant tumors of all cancers worldwide. Recently, icariin (ICA) has been reported to play an anti-tumor role in different cancers. The study aimed to investigate the effect of ICA on TC cells to uncover the
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Herba Epimedii (Berberidaceae) has the advantages of "nourishing the kidney and reinforcing the Yang". Many species in this genus have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and have been used
Pancreatic cancer is a digestive tract malignancy that poses a serious threat to human health. Compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicines have been an important source of anticancer drugs and adjuvant agents to regulate the tumor immune microenvironment in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an aggressive malignancy that has a poor prognosis. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a first line chemotherapeutic medication used in the treatment of gallbladder cancer; however, the efficacy is below satisfactory. Icariin is a natural compound that is conventionally reported to
Glioblastoma is an aggressive malignancy, which is associated with poor prognosis. Temozolomide (TMZ) has been showed to be an effective chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma treatment; however, the response rate is not satisfactory. Icariin is a natural compound with anti-cancer activity against
Ovarian cancer is the third most common type of gynecological tumor, in addition to being the most lethal. Cytoreductive surgery with chemotherapy is the standard treatment for ovarian cancer. It is necessary to identify novel chemotherapeutic methods, since current chemotherapy treatments are
Tumor necrosis factor‑associated apoptosis‑inducing ligand (TRAIL) is considered to be a potential therapeutic target for various types of cancer. However, colon cancer is difficult to treat due to its resistance to TRAIL. Therefore, various trials have been conducted to overcome TRAIL resistance in
3, 5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-8-(3-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-flavone (ICT) is a novel derivative of Icariin (ICA), the major active ingredient of Herba Epimedii, a herb used in traditional Chinese and alternative medicine. We previously demonstrated its anti-inflammatory effect in murine innate immune
Icariin is the main active ingredient found in the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Epimedium, and exhibits various pharmacological effects such as enhanced immune function, anticancer activity, improved cardiovascular function and endocrine adjustment. However, the effect of icariin on ovarian
The Leydig cell tumor, derived from interstitial cells, is a rare neoplasm. In most cases, Leydig cell tumors are benign, however, if the tumor is malignant, no effective treatments are currently available. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of icariin on the growth of the mouse Leydig
