OBJECTIVE
Calycosin, a phytoestrogenic compound, has recently emerged as a promising antitumor drug. It has been shown that calycosin suppresses growth and induces apoptosis of breast cancer cells. However, the effect of calycosin on migration and invasion of breast cancer cells and the underlying
We previously reported that calycosin, a natural phytoestrogen structurally similar to estrogen, successfully triggered apoptosis of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. To better understand the antitumor activities of calycosin against breast cancer, besides MCF-7 cells,
BACKGROUND
Calycosin and formononetin are two main components of isoflavones. In our previous studies, we have respectively reported their antitumor activities on breast cancer cell MCF-7. To further investigate the feasibility of isoflavones in clinically treating breast carcinoma, here we
Sulfation is a key process of drug disposition that generally regulates drug effectiveness and toxicity. Calycosin derived from the dry root extract of Radix Astragali exhibits a variety of biological effects that easily undergo extensive phase II metabolism. However, the sulfation pathway of
BACKGROUND
Calycosin is one of main components in the herb radix astragali and is considered a typical phytoestrogen. It has either estrogenic or antiestrogenic effects that mainly depend on estrogen levels in vivo. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of calycosin on estrogen receptor
Previous studies report the upregulation of the secretory Rab27B small GTPase in human breast cancer, which could promote invasive growth and metastasis in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells. However, there is limited evidence for its role in ER-negative breast cancer, along with
Clinically, breast cancer is generally classified into estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) or estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) subtypes. The phytoestrogen calycosin has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of ER+ cells, which may be mediated by a feedback loop that involves miR-375, RAS
BACKGROUND
Calycosin and genistein are the two main components of isoflavones. Previously, we reported that these compounds display antitumor activities in the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and T47D. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of action of calycosin and genistein, and their
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among women, and the failure of normal apoptosis has been proved in the development of breast cancer. The phytoestrogen, calycosin, is extracted from Chinese medical herb Radix astragali. We recently reported that calycosin successfully stimulated
In the publication of this article [1], the molecule weight of GPR30 in figures was incorrectly, this should have been 55 kDa, and not 38 kDa. This has now been included in this erratum.
Hydrolysis by lactase-phloridzin hydrolase (LPH) is the first and critical step in the absorption of isoflavonoid glucosides. However, the absorption characteristics of calycosin-7-O-β-d-glucoside (CG) slightly differ from other isoflavonoid glucosides. In this study, we used the rat intestinal
Calycosin is a main active component of the herb Radix Astragali, and is considered as a phytoestrogen. Its effects in vivo may be either estrogenic or antiestrogenic, mainly depending upon the estrogen levels. This study was a continuation of our investigations of calycosin's promotion of the
BACKGROUND
Astragali radix (Huang Qi, HQ), a well-known Chinese herbal medicine, is widely coadministered with many other drugs for treating diseases. The potential herb-drug interactions (HDIs) possibly occur during the combination therapy. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein
BACKGROUND
Astragalus membranaceus (AM) is a commonly used herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has been used as an essential tonic to treat various diseases for more than 2000 years. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biological effects of extract from AM on breast cancer cell
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to elucidate the biological targets and pharmacological mechanisms for calycosin (CC) against colorectal cancer (CRC) through an approach of system pharmacology. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using a web-based platform, all CRC-causing genes were identified using a
