OBJECTIVE
Anthracyclines and taxanes are often used as first-line chemotherapy treatments in patients with breast cancer. There are, however, significant toxicity and side effects associated with these therapies. Previous studies have demonstrated that active hexose-correlated compound (AHCC)
To determine the impact on antitumor activity when active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) in combination with anticancer hormonal agents in orthotopic mouse models of human estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and evaluate impact of AHCC on aromatase activity.
The study consisted of 7
Elevated growth in breast cancer (BC) activates hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1α) and downstream, facilitative glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), which can be visualized with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose ([18F]FDG). GLUT5 (fructose) and GLUT2 (glucose/fructose) might provide alternative targets for BC
Use of [18F]FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) in clinical breast cancer (BC) imaging is limited mainly by insufficient expression levels of facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT)1 in up to 50% of all patients. Fructose-specific facilitative hexose transporter GLUT5 represents an alternative
Human breast cancer cell lines have been shown to possess high affinity receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) and their growth is inhibited by this steroid. The present study examines the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in cells of a
Facilitated hexose transporters (GLUTs) mediate the transport of hexoses and other substrates across the membranes of numerous cell types, and while some are expressed ubiquitously (e.g., GLUT1), others are more tissue specific (e.g., GLUT5). These properties have been exploited for the imaging of
Serum levels of lipid associated sialic acid (LASA), mucoid proteins (MP) and hexoses (galactose + mannose) were measured in 41 breast cancer patients, 14 patients with benign breast diseases and 36 healthy age matched female individuals. In breast carcinoma patients, we have observed significant
The specificity characteristics of transporters can be exploited for the development of novel diagnostic therapeutic probes. The facilitated hexose transporter family (GLUTs) has a distinct set of preferences for monosaccharide substrates, and while some are expressed ubiquitously (e.g., GLUT1),
OBJECTIVE
Many breast cancer patients use natural compounds in their battle against breast cancer. Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC®) is a cultured mushroom mycelium extract shown to favorably modulate the immune system and alleviate cancer burden. Cancer Stem cells (CSCs) are a subset of
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer treatment has metabolic side effects, potentially affecting risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and recurrence. We aimed to compare alterations in serum metabolites and lipoproteins during treatment between recipients and non-recipients of chemotherapy, and describe
In-vitro NMR spectroscopic examinations of tissue extracts can be combined with appropriate pattern-recognition and visualization techniques in order to monitor characteristic metabolic differences between tissue classes. In the present study, such techniques are applied to a set of 88 breast-tissue
Seromucoid fraction was measured in terms of mucoid proteins (MP) and hexose content from sera of 1) 47 healthy women, 2) 48 women who had benign breast diseases, 3) 151 untreated patients with breast cancer, and 4) 245 follow-up samples collected from the same breast cancer patients. Mucoid
Tumour markers correlate strongly with prognosis based on tumour burden and surgical resectability. If chemotherapy is extremely effective in certain stage of the disease, the sensitive marker may be of great use in monitoring disease response and drug treatment. Hence, this study was launched to
Metabolomics is a promising molecular tool to identify novel etiologic pathways leading to cancer. Using a targeted approach, we prospectively investigated the associations between metabolite concentrations in plasma and breast cancer risk.A nested
