bauhinia curvula/neoplasms

BACKGROUND Although various molecular profiling technologies have the potential to predict specific tumor phenotypes, the comprehensive profiling of lectin-bound glycans in human cancer tissues has not yet been achieved. METHODS We examined 242 advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients without or with

Biotinylated bauhinia purpurea agglutinin (BPA) was studied, using the ABC method, in different thyroid gland conditions (26 follicular adenomas, 39 papillary carcinomas, 15 follicular carcinomas, and 10 normal thyroids), to determine whether specific lectin binding patterns were developed during

OBJECTIVE Molecular markers as indicators for gastric cancer recurrence are urgently required. The aim of this study was to identify lectins that can be used to predict gastric cancer recurrence after gastrectomy. METHODS We created lectin expression profiles by microarray analysis for 60 patients,

The chemopreventive and cytotoxic effect of ethanol extract of Bauhinia variegata (EBV) was evaluated in N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN, 200 mg/kg) induced experimental liver tumor in rats and human cancer cell lines. Oral administration of ethanol extract of Bauhinia variegata (250 mg/kg) effectively

Metastasis remains the most common cause of death in cancer patients. Inhibition of metalloproteinases (MMPs) is an interesting approach to cancer therapy because of their role in the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), cell-cell, and cell-ECM interactions, modulating key events in cell

The cell surface carbohydrate profile of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of neoplastic cervical squamous epithelium was evaluated using lectins of Bauhinia purpurea (BPA), Canavalin ensiformis (Con A), Griffonia simplicifolia I (GS I), Griffonia simplicifolia II (GS II), Maclura

A new antigen associated with pancreatic cancer was prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using Fab'-Sepharose beads. This antigen was a glycoprotein of large molecular weight (Mr greater than 8,000,000) in its native state, estimated by size exclusion chromatography on Sephacryl S400. After

We have previously described the purification and partial characterization of a new pancreatic cancer-associated antigen, a pancreatic cancer-associated mucin expressing CA19-9, CA50, Span-1, sialyl SSEA-1, and Dupan-2. This study describes the clinical evaluation of various assay systems for this

Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Bauhinia strychnifolia Craib leaves is used in Thai traditional medicine for detoxification. Its leaves contain total phenolic content and also exhibit high antioxidant activity. However, there has been no report on cytotoxicity testing

BACKGROUND The stem and root of Bauhinia strychnifolia Craib (Fabaceae family) have been traditionally used in Thailand to treat fever, alcoholic toxication, allergy and cancer. An EtOH extract of Bauhinia strychnifolia showed good inhibitory activity against several cancer cell lines including

BACKGROUND Plant lectins have attracted great interest in cancer studies due to their antitumor activities. These proteins or glycoproteins specifically and reversibly bind to different types of carbohydrates or glycoproteins. Breast cancer, which presents altered glycosylation of cell surface

Cell surface glycans change during the process of malignant transformation. To characterize and distinguish endometrial cancer and endometrium, we performed glycan profiling using an emerging modern technology, lectin microarray analysis. The three cell lines, two from endometrial cancers

The role of bone marrow cells as cytotoxic effector cells against tumor cells was examined in vitro. Bone marrow cells from normal C3H/He mice could lyse murine MM46 tumor cells in the presence of wheat germ agglutinin or syngeneic antitumor antibody. Bone marrow cells alone did not cause lysis.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Due to the toxic side effects of the commonly used chemotherapeutic drug cyclophosphamide (CTX), the use of herbal medicines with fewer side effects but having potential use as inducing anti-cancer outcomes in situ has become increasingly popular. The
