Folate receptors (FR) have been well recognized as a marker to target nano-sized carriers for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In contrast, influx transport systems (e.g. GLUT transporters) that transport essential amino acids and nutrients to cancer cells have not been exploited much for targeted
The incidence of breast cancer remarkably increases all over the world. Therefore, there is a great demand to introduce new approaches into cancer treatment field. The current study was designated to evaluate the role of doxorubicin (DOX) and/or thymoquinone (TQ) nanomatrix in potentiating the
O-GlcNAcylation (addition of N-acetyl-glucosamine on serine or threonine residues) is a post-translational modification that regulates stability, activity or localization of cytosolic and nuclear proteins. O-linked N-acetylgluocosmaine transferase (OGT) uses UDP-GlcNAc, produced in the hexosamine
The monoclonal antibody LU-BCRU-G7, that was generated by in vitro immunization, shows clinical value as a prognostic marker in early stage breast carcinoma. It has now been characterized with regard to its binding epitope. Using a recently described method based on the construction of N-substituted
In response to an estrogen, confluent monolayers of MCF-7 cell cultures develop multi-cellular nodules, termed foci. Post-confluent development of foci occurs with physiologic levels of 17beta-estradiol and are inhibited by various anti-estrogens acting through either the estrogen or aryl
A member of the high molecular weight glycoproteins of human milk and breast cancer was isolated from the sera, ascites and breast carcinoma tissue of patients with breast cancer using monoclonal antibody 3E1.2. The 3E1.2 defined antigen, termed mammary serum antigen (MSA) was obtained by
The monoclonal antibody H (mAbH) detects an epitope consisting of an O-linked N-acetyl glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) and neighboring amino acids. This epitope has been found by using extracts from the MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cell line in immunoblotting experiments, on cytokeratin 8 (CK8) and 5 other
Carboxymethyl hyaluronic acid (CMHA) is a semisynthetic derivative of HA that is recognized by HA binding proteins but contains an additional carboxylic acid on some of the 6-hydroxyl groups of the N-acetyl glucosamine sugar units. These studies tested the ability of CMHA to stabilize the formation
This study explores the potential of dendritic unimolecular nanoconstruct, PAMAM-Tryptophan-(N-acetylglucosamine) [PTN] as anti-cancer drug delivery system. The PAMAM dendrimers were modified with L-tryptophan and N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) for higher drug loading and to utilize GLUT transporters,
