BACKGROUND
We have reported that the glucosamine suppressed the proliferation of the human prostate carcinoma cell line DU145 through inhibition of STAT3 signaling. DU145 cells autonomously express IL-6 and the IL-6/STAT3 signaling is activated. IL-6 receptor subunits are subject to N-glycosylation,
Gefitinib as an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor has strong potential in lung cancer therapy. However, a major challenge of using gefitinib is its toxicities. In the present study, we developed a dry powder inhaler dosage form containing gefitinib loaded glucosamine
OBJECTIVE
Inflammation plays an important role in lung carcinogenesis. Epidemiologic studies have reported inverse associations of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use and lung cancer risk. Previously, we found that ever use of glucosamine and chondroitin, which have anti-inflammatory
Background: A safe and effective colorectal cancer (CRC) chemoprevention agent remains to be discovered. There is little evidence regarding the protective effect of chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine on CRC. We aimed to assess the
Positron labeled substrates such as sugars, amino acids, and nucleosides have been investigated for the in-vivo evaluation of biochemical processes in cancerous tissue. Hexosamines are obligatory structural components of many biologically important macromolecules, including membrane glycoproteins
Inflammation is a complex process involving cytokine production to regulate host defense cascades. In contrast to the therapeutic significance of acute inflammation, a pathogenic impact of chronic inflammation on cancer development has been proposed. Upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, such as
OBJECTIVE
Glucosamine and chondroitin are non-vitamin, non-mineral supplements which have anti-inflammatory properties. These supplements are typically used for joint pain and osteoarthritis and are commonly taken as either glucosamine alone or glucosamine plus chondroitin. An exploratory analysis
Although D-glucosamine has been reported as an inhibitor of tumor growth both in vivo and in vitro, the mechanism for the anticancer effect of D-glucosamine is still unclear. Since there are several reports suggesting D-glucosamine inhibits protein synthesis, we examined whether D-glucosamine
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer‑associated mortality worldwide, and glucosamine has the potential to exhibit antitumor activity. To reveal its anti‑lung cancer mechanism, the present study investigated the effect of glucosamine on the transcriptional activity of forkhead box O (FOXO)1
D-glucosamine has been reported to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells in culture and in vivo. In this study we report a novel response to D-glucosamine involving the translation regulation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha expression. D-glucosamine caused a decreased expression of
The current study evaluated the anti-tumor activities of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine oligomer (NACOS) and glucosamine oligomer (COS) after their oral administration in a tumor (colon 26)-bearing mouse model. Compared to the control group, NACOS and COS groups showed significantly suppressed tumor growth,
BACKGROUND
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common types of cancer in urological system worldwide. Recently, the anticancer role of Glucosamine has been studied in many types of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Glucosamine on RCC.
METHODS
The effects of
Glucosamine (GlcN), a natural amino sugar in human body, was reported to exhibit anticancer activity against some tumors. In the present study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity and multi-drug resistance (MDR) reversal activity of GlcN on resistant MRP2-overexpressing ovarian cancer A2780RCIS cells. The
A novel polymer-drug conjugate, polyethylene glycol-N-(acetyl)-glucosamine-doxorubicin (PEG-NAG-DOX) was evaluated in this study for its in vivo potential for treatment of tumours demonstrating improved efficacy and reduced toxicity. The proposed polymer-drug conjugate comprised of polyethylene
Glucosamine (GlcN) is a natural amino monosaccharide in the human body, and evidence of its anticancer effects is growing. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of GlcN for its cytotoxicity, MDR reversal effects and inhibitory effects on function and expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
