The specific activities of several glycosidases (beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucosidase, alpha-D-glucosidase, beta-D-fucosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and beta-D-galactosidase) were determined in human sera from a control group to 10 normal subjects and in four groups, each of 10 patients,
Aberrant glycosylation changes on many glycoproteins are often related to cancer progression and metastasis. sp2 -Iminosugar-type castanospermine analogues, inhibitors of α-glucosidases, have been reported to exhibit antitumor activity. However, their effects on cell migration and the underlying
The resistance to therapy is a major clinical challenge for advanced stage breast cancer. Identification of novel potential therapeutic targets is needed to overcome chemoresistance. In this work, we identified a target that was critically involved in breast cancer growth and chemoresistance. We
Transglycosylation represents one of the most promising approaches for obtaining novel glycosides, and plant phenols and polyphenols are emerging as one of the best targets for creating new molecules with enhanced capacities. These compounds can be found in diet and exhibit a wide Radiation dermatitis is observed in 95% of breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between protein expression in tumor cells and the risk of developing radiation dermatitis.
Breast cancer patients receiving postoperative radiotherapy were
From the leaves of Schefflera sessiliflora De P. V., two new triterpene saponins including one oleanane-type saponin, named scheffleraside C (1) and one lupane-type saponin scheffleraside D (2), together with six known triterpene saponins (3-8), were isolated by various chromatography methods. Among
Lysosomes and lysosomal enzymes are known to be involved in cancer processes. However, integrated biochemical and cell biology studies are necessary to understand how lysosomal enzymes could initiate cancer. Most breast cancer is initiated in the milk ducts. The hypothesis presented here is that
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by the phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) induces ceramide formation through the salvage pathway involving, in part, acid beta-glucosidase 1 (GBA1), which cleaves glucosylceramide to ceramide. Here, we examine the role of the GBA1-ceramide pathway,
The inhibitory activities of selected cyclic urea and carbamate derivatives (1-13) toward α-glucosidase (α-Gls) in in vitro assay were examined in this study. All examined compounds showed higher inhibitory activity (IC50) against α-Gls compared to standard antidiabetic drug acarbose. The most
This study aimed to reveal chemical profiles and biological activities of ethyl acetate (EA), methanol (MeOH), and water extracts of Lotus corniculatus. Ethnobotanical reports have indicated the importance of phytochemical properties of the genus Lotus. In this study, the effects of medicinal plant
The present study was aimed to investigate in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition, antioxidant, anticancer, and antimycobacterial activities of the ethyl acetate extract of A. tamilnadensis leaves. The extract recorded strong α-glucosidase inhibition with an IC50 value of 100 μg/ml. The antioxidant
Due to the association of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with breast cancer risk, estrogenically active soy isoflavones are considered as an HRT alternative to alleviate menopausal symptoms. However, several recent reports challenged the health benefits of soy isoflavones and associated them with
Maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM) and MGAM2 both belong to the glycoside hydrolase family 31. MGAM, a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes, is α-1,4-glucosidase and expressed in the intestine to catalyze starch digestion. MGAM2, however, is largely uncharacterized. By investigating The Cancer Genome
OBJECTIVE
Metastatic breast cancer is resistant to many conventional treatments and novel therapeutic targets are needed. We previously isolated subsets of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells which metastasized to liver (4TLM), brain (4TBM), and heart (4THM). Among these cells, 4TLM is the most
sp(2)-Iminosugar-type castanospermine analogues bearing an alpha-configured N-, S-, or C-linked pseudoanomeric group have been designed as selective inhibitors of the neutral alpha-glucosidases involved in N-glycoprotein processing; evaluation in breast cancer cell growth indicated a significant
