15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) is a component of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. In this study, DHTS at as low as 2.5 μg/ml concentration significantly inhibited proliferation of human benign (SW480) and malignant (SW620) colorectal cancer cells, as shown by
Chemotherapeutic drugs are usually designed to induce cancer cell death via cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis pathways. In this study, we used the chemical drug 15,16-dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth, and investigate the underlying molecular
OBJECTIVE
Multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells to a broad spectrum of anticancer drugs is an obstacle to successful chemotherapy. Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) membrane transporter, can mediate the efflux of cytotoxic drugs out of cancer cells, leading
OBJECTIVE
The therapeutic potential of various tanshinones was examined and compared for their anti-cancer activities on colon cancer cells. The role of ROS generation in the pro-apoptotic activity of dihydrotanshinone (DHTS) was further studied.
METHODS
Cell viability was determined by the
BACKGROUND
Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) was previously reported to exhibit the most potent anti-cancer activity among several tanshinones in colon cancer cells. Its cytotoxic action was reactive oxygen species (ROS) dependent but p53 independent.
OBJECTIVE
To further study the anti-cancer activity of
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are known to mediate metastasis and recurrence and are therefore a promising therapeutic target. In this study, we found that dihydrotanshinone (DHTS) inhibits CSC formation. DHTS inhibited mammosphere formation in a dose-dependent manner and showed significant tumor growth
15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I (DI), a natural compound isolated from a traditional Asian functional food Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bunge, is known for its anticancer activity. However, poor solubility of DI limits its desirable anticancer application. Herein, polylactic- co-glycolic acid (PLGA) was
The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcription factors control many physiological processes including inflammation, immunity, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. We identified dihydrotanshinone I as an inhibitor of NF-κB activation through our research on Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. In this study, we found
Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS), extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza, was found to be the most effective compound of tanshen extracts against cancer cells in our previous studies. However, the therapeutic benefits and underlying mechanisms of DHTS on ovarian cancer remain uncertain. In this study, we
5,16-dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) is extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (tanshen root) and was found to be the most effective compound of tanshen extracts against breast cancer cells in our previous studies. However, whether DHTS can induce apoptosis through an endoplasmic reticular (ER) stress
Background: Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor, with relatively lower survival rates in adolescents. Dihydrotanshinone I (DHI) was extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza and was shown to inhibit several types of cancer. Purpose: To explore the
Objective To evaluate whether dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS1) attenuates cuprizone-induced demyelination. Methods DHTS1 was dissolved in 5 g/L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). The cuprizone model was induced via feeding with the diet containing 2 g/L cuprizone. We administrated DHTS1 to the
BACKGROUND
15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I (DHT-I), isolated from the dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bung, which is traditionally used to treat cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases agent in Chinese medicine. DHT-I has been reported to have a broad range of biological activities, including
Microglial activation has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, inhibition of inflammation mediated by microglia is a strategy in neurodegenerative disease therapy. In this study, we isolated cryptotanshinone and 15,16-dihydrotanshinone I from Salvia miltiorrhiza, a traditional
Dihydrotanshinone I (DI), a naturally occurring compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has been reported to have cytotoxicity to a variety of tumor cells. In this study, we investigated its anti-angiogenic capacity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. DI induced a potent
