The effect of dietary fat on breast cancer is a longstanding and an unresolved issue. We found that 17beta-estradiol (E2) could be activated by the epoxide-forming oxidant dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) to bind DNA-forming DNA adducts both in vitro and in vivo, and to inhibit nuclear RNA synthesis. We
Polyunsaturated fatty acids influence several steps involved in metastasis formation in animal tumor models. During the process of metastasis from the primary site, tumor cells adhere to the endothelium and underlying basement membrane before extravasation and secondary growth. The purpose of this
Although evidence has shown the regulating effect of n-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) on cell signaling transduction, it remains unknown whether n-3 PUFA treatment modulates estrogen signaling. The current study showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA,
Triglycerides, which are major constituents of dietary fat, contain a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. One newly recognized function of unsaturated fatty acids is modulation of cell adhesion to components of the extracellular matrix. Alterations in cell adhesiveness or cell adhesion
Dietary intake of fish rich in n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been proposed to decrease cancer risk. In contrast to results from laboratory studies, however, protective effects for breast cancer have proved
Retinoic acid (RA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) are proposed as nutritional anticancer agents. Nonetheless, the activity of their combination on human breast cancer needs further study. Our aim was to evaluate this activity on the MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 cell lines treated with 1 µM RA and 50 µM of
Cancer cells driven by the Ras oncogene scavenge unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) from their environment to counter nutrient stress. The human group X secreted phospholipase A2 (hGX sPLA2) releases FAs from membrane phospholipids, stimulates lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis in Ras-driven triple-negative
The relationship between fatty acids and breast cancer has been debated for long, because of the high frequency of breast cancer and the contradictory results from the numerous studies devoted to this issue. The present review includes case-control and prospective studies, according to specified
Proton (1H) MRS enables non-invasive biochemical assay with the potential to characterize malignant, benign and healthy breast tissues. In vitro studies using perchloric acid extracts and ex vivo magic angle spinning spectroscopy of intact biopsy tissues have been used to identify detectable
BACKGROUND
One of the most important areas of Raman medical diagnostics is identification and characterization of cancerous and noncancerous tissues. The methods based on Raman scattering has shown significant potential for probing human breast tissue to provide valuable information for early
Numerous studies have shown dietary fatty acids to influence the progression of several types of cancers. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the influence of various types of fatty acids, including omega-3 fatty acids and a new class of hypolipidemic peroxisome proliferating
In this study, we were challenging to identify characteristic compounds in breast cancer cell lines. GC analysis of extracts from the culture media of breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, SK-BR-3, and YMB-1) using a solid-phase Porapak Q extraction revealed that two compounds of moderate volatility,
A case-control study was conducted to analyze the possible role of diet on the incidence of breast cancer in a group of 275 women (139 cases and 136 controls) recruited from three hospital populations (Madrid, Mérida, and Santiago de Compostela). The retrospective intake of foods was studied by a
Since unsaturated fatty acids have been shown to control cell division experimentally the fatty acid composition in human mammary cancers as compared with the healthy surrounding tissue was studied. Both phospholipid and neutral lipid fractions were extracted for study and further lipid peroxidation
The fatty acid composition of fractionated phospholipids and neutral lipids was analyzed in human breast cancer tissues and the surrounding, apparently healthy tissue. In the cancer tissues the relative amounts of unsaturated fatty acids were increased in all the phospholipid subclasses analyzed.
