Celastrol is a quinone methide triterpene derived from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F., a plant used in traditional medicine. In the present study, we reported that celastrol potentiated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis, affected activation of caspase-8, caspase-3 and PARP cleavage,
The aim of the study was to discover possible differential cytotoxicity of triptolide towards estrogen-sensitive MCF-7 versus estrogen-insensitive MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Considering that MCF-7 cells express functional Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and wild-type p53, whereas
BACKGROUND Celastrol is extracted from the root of the Chinese traditional herb Tripterygium wilfordii, which has anti-cancer effects in multiple cancers. However, the effect of celastrol on the metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer and its mechanism remain largely unknown. MATERIAL AND
Triptolide is a natural compound isolated from the Tripterygium wilfordii, which possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. Triptolide reportedly inhibits RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription and ATM activities to interfere with DNA repair. However, the roles of triptolide in DNA
Inflammation is one of the characteristic features during the development of human tumors. A pro-inflammatory cytokine that is known to promote inflammation during cancer development is the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). On the other hand, demethylzeylasteral (T-96) is a natural compound
As one of the main components of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, celastrol (CSL) has significant antitumor activity, but its clinical application has been limited by its poor solubility, low oral bioavailability and systemic toxicity. In this study, celastrol nanosuspensions (CSL-NSps) were prepared
With breast cancer plaguing the United States as the second leading cause of cancer related deaths amongst women, as well as the adverse effects of current treatment options there is a need to develop safer and noninvasive treatments. Triptolide is an extract from the herb Tripterygium wilfordii
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is a major cause of death; in fact, it is the most common type, in order of the number of global deaths, of cancer in women worldwide. This research seeks to investigate how triptolide, an extract from the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, induces apoptosis in
Triptolide, a diterpene from Tripterygium wilfordii, has been shown to have potent anticancer activity, exerting its effects through multiple molecular targets and signaling pathways. Yet, its effect on focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in breast cancer that
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the anticancer mechanisms of triptolide, a diterpenoid isolated from the plant Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, against human breast cancer cells and the involvement of the estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-mediated signaling pathway in particular.
METHODS
Human breast cancer
Triptolide (TP), a diterpenoid triepoxide that is extracted from the plant Tripterygium wilfordii, has been found to be quite effective for treating many malignant tumors. Although TP was initially considered to be a promising chemotherapeutic agent, its poor solubility and high toxicity limited its
Triptolide, an extract of Tripterygium wilfordii, has been shown to have a potent anticancer activity. In the present study, it was found that triptolide could effectively induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation and invasion in malignant MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The study focused on
Triptolide, a natural compound purified from the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii, has been reported to inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors in vivo. However, the effects of triptolide on the immune responses of cancer cells remain unknown. Up-regulation of programmed death-1-ligand 1
Triptolide is an active component from a Chinese herb, Tripterygium wilfordii which has been applied for treating immune-related diseases over centuries. Recently, it was reported that a variety of cancer cell lines could be sensitized to DNA-damage based chemotherapy drugs in combination with
Background
Celastrol is a major active component of the thunder god vine (
Tripterygium wilfordii) used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Celastrol inhibits PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling, which is frequently dysregulated in
