BACKGROUND
We have shown that inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a natural compound and a potent anti-cancer agent, inhibited cancer cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, thereby leading to inhibition of cell migration and invasion. Cell adhesion to ECM is mediated by specific cell
In an extension of our earlier studies, we examined the inhibitory effects of N-acetyl-S-(N-2-phenethylthiocarbamoyl)-l-cysteine (PEITC-NAC), myo-inositol (MI) and indole-3-carbinol (I3C) or 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), alone and in combination, on 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone
Because inositol hexaphosphate (InsP6) and inositol (Ins), contained in plants and most mammalian cells, have been demonstrated to have anti-cancer and anti-cell proliferative action in several experimental models of carcinogenesis we have examined the effect of InsP6 +/- Ins on DMBA-induced rat
In previous studies, we have shown that inositol hexaphosphate (InsP6), a constituent of cereal diet, inhibited azoxymethane-induced experimental large intestinal cancer (LIC) in Fischer 344 rats. We now report a similar antineoplastic action of InsP6 in CD-1 mice injected with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine
The current treatment of breast carcinomas recognizes the importance of combination therapy in order to increase efficacy and decrease side effects of conventional chemotherapy. Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a naturally occurring polyphosphorylated carbohydrate, has shown a significant anti-cancer
Insulin resistance indicates a deregulated set of biochemical pathways and physiological functions involved in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cancer. Conversely, a number of synthetic and natural insulin sensitizers, including inositol, have been recognized
Neurotensin (NT) stimulates Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx in many cells. Its contractile effects in smooth muscle are inhibited by removal of Ca2+ and by Ca2+ channel blockers (CCBs). To better understand NT signaling in prostate cancer PC3 cells, blockers of voltage-gated and store-operated Ca2+
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effectiveness of the polyanionic, metal binding agent D-myo-inositol-1,2,6-triphosphate (alpha trinositol, AT), and its hexanoyl ester (HAT), in tissue wasting in cancer cachexia.
METHODS
The anti-cachexic effect was evaluated in the MAC16 tumour model.
RESULTS
Both AT and
BACKGROUND
Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) is a naturally occurring polyphosphorylated carbohydrate that is found in food sources high in fiber content. We hypothesized that IP6 would inhibit the cell growth rate of bladder cancer in vitro.
METHODS
T24 and TCCSUP bladder cancer cell lines were treated
OBJECTIVE
Herein, for the first time, we evaluated the in vivo chemopreventive efficacy of inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a major constituent of high-fiber diets, against prostate tumor growth and progression in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) model.
METHODS
Beginning at 4
Male A/J strain mice were fed AIN-76A diet supplemented with myo-inositol/dexamethasone (10 g and 0.5 mg/kg diet) or acetylsalicylic acid (300 mg/kg) and exposed for 5 months to a mixture of sidestream and mainstream cigarette smoke at a concentration of 132 mg total suspended particulates/m3. After
BACKGROUND
We reported increased levels of phosphatidyl inositol synthase (PI synthase), (enzyme that catalyses phosphatidyl inositol (PI) synthesis-implicated in intracellular signaling and regulation of cell growth) in smokeless tobacco (ST) exposed oral cell cultures by differential display. This
GH3 pituitary tumor cells were labeled to isotopic equilibrium with [3H]inositol. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which has been shown to stimulate inositol phospholipid metabolism in these cells, enhanced the accumulation of [3H]inositol-derived radioactivity in the cell's acid-soluble
There is a continuing effort at identifying chemopreventive agents that might be useful in preventing cancer of the lung. In the present study, the effects of myo-inositol and dexamethasone on benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)-induced pulmonary adenoma formation in female A/J mice was investigated. A diet
Several promising chemopreventive agents have for lung cancer emerged in preclinical models and in retrospective trials. These agents have been shown to modulate pathways altered in carcinogenesis and reduce markers of carcinogenesis in animal and cell culture models. Cancer-prone transgenic mice
