BACKGROUND
z-Guggulsterone (z-Gug) and Gugulipid (GL) have been used to treat a variety of ailments. We now report their anti-cancer effect and mechanism against human breast cancer.
METHODS
Using the human estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and triple-negative (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells as
BACKGROUND
At physiologic concentration in serum, the bile acid sodium deoxycholate (DC) induces survival and migration of breast cancer cells. Here we provide evidence of a novel mechanism by which DC reduces apoptosis that is induced by the sphingolipid ceramide in breast cancer
Background: The skeleton is the first and most common distant metastatic site for breast cancer. Such metastases complicate cancer management, inducing considerable morbidities and decreasing patient survival. Osteomimetism is part of the
Bone is the most common site to which breast cancer cells metastasize. We found that osteoblast-like MG63 cells and human bone tissue contain the bile acid salt sodium deoxycholate (DC). MG63 cells take up and accumulate DC from the medium, suggesting that the bone-derived DC originates from serum.
