cardiolipin/breast neoplasms

Patients with malignancy are at higher risk of thrombotic complications due to the hypercoagulability state. Our objective in this study was to assess the serum concentrations of Homocysteine, anti phospholipid antibodies, and anti cardiolipin in patients with benign and malignant breast tumors and

Cancer cell mitochondria are promising anticancer drug targets because they control cell death and are structurally and functionally different from normal cell mitochondria. We synthesized arylurea fatty acids and found that the analogue

Little is known about the biochemical basis of the action of free fatty acids (FFA) on breast cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. Here we report that unsaturated FFAs stimulated the proliferation of human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, whereas saturated FFAs inhibited it and caused apoptosis.

In the original publication of this article [1], the images of Figs. 4 and 5 were exchanged and the legends of the two figures did not correspond due to a typesetting error.

Approximately 15% of globally diagnosed breast cancers are designated as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this study, we investigated the effect of the natural compound, Bis(2- ethyl hexyl) 1H-pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate (TCCP), purified from Tinospora cordifolia on MDA-MB-231, a TNBC cell

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanisms of cytotoxic activity and pro-/antioxidant effect of lactoferrin on hormone receptor-positive and receptor-negative breast cancer cells in vitro. METHODS The study was performed on receptor-positive (MCF-7, T47D) and receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468)

Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) is a powerful oxidant and nitrosative agent and has in vivo existence. The half life of ONOO(-) at physiological pH is less than 1 s. It can react with nucleic acids, proteins, lipoproteins, saccharides, cardiolipin, etc., and can modify their native structures. Action of

It is essential to understand the role of cardiolipin (CL) in mitochondrial membrane organization given that changes in CL levels contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in type II diabetes, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, breast cancer, and aging. Specifically, there are contradictory

Mitochondrial dynamics, specifically fusion and fission processes, maintain mitochondria integrity and function, yet at this time, effect of estrogens on fusion and fission in breast cancer cell lines has not been studied. The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of 17β-estradiol on

OBJECTIVE To perform the comparative study both of qualitative and quantitative content of lipids in parental and drug resistant breast cancer cells. METHODS Parental (MCF-7/S) and resistant to cisplatin (MCF-7/CP) and doxorubicin (MCF-7/Dox) human breast cancer cells were used in the study.

The biochemical mechanisms of apoptosis-induction by all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4HPR) in cultured MCF7 cancer cells were studied by multiparameter flow cytometry. Retinoid treatment induced formation of two biochemically distinct cell subpopulations, which

10-N-Nonyl acridine orange (NAO) is used as a mitochondrial probe because of its high affinity for cardiolipin (CL). Targeting of NAO may also depend on mitochondrial membrane potential. As the nonyl group has been considered essential for targeting, a systematic study of alkyl chain length was
