Tumor metastasis to bone often elicits a wide array of symptoms, in which pain is a significant factor in catastrophic complications of bone cancer. The complete understanding of bone cancer-related pain is still unknown, while several pathophysiological components have been suggested, from
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex and chronic disease caused by lesions or defects of the somatosensory nervous system. The treatments normally used for managing NP usually lack efficacy. Several animal models of NP have been engineered in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying NP
Chondrosarcoma is a malignant primary bone tumor that responds poorly to both chemotherapy and radiation therapy. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major polyphenol in green tea, has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis and cancer cell growth in animal models. The aim of this study was to
Chronic inflammation represents one of the hallmarks of cancer. Of special relevance to the malignant process is the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 playing a crucial role in cancer-related inflammation. Recent observations indicate increased IL-1 levels in an animal model of human osteosarcoma, the
Breast cancer is characterized by a high rate of mortality and is considered one of the deadliest types of cancer. It is of note that (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the principal catechin of green tea, is able to hinder the growth of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by Development of chemotherapy resistance and evasion from apoptosis in osteosarcoma, a primary malignant bone tumor, is often correlated with constitutive nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. Here, we investigated the ability of a polyphenolic fraction of green tea (GTP) that has been shown
