cyanidin 3 glucoside/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND Ethanol is a tumor promoter. Both epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that ethanol may enhance the metastasis of breast cancer cells. We have previously demonstrated that ethanol increased the migration/invasion of breast cancer cells expressing high levels of ErbB2.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous group of breast cancer with one common feature: distinctly metastatic nature with higher rate of relapse and shorter survival compared with other subtypes of breast cancer. The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is highly associated

Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in breast cancer progression. Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), one of the most widely distributed anthocyanins in edible fruits, shows antioxidative and anti-inflammatory property as well as induction of breast cancer cells apoptosis. However, the effect of C3G on breast

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has been found to be overexpressed in ~25% of invasive breast cancer and is significantly associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. The anthocyanins cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) and peonidin-3-glucoside have been identified as potential

Anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside (Cy-3-gluc) and delphinidin-3-glucoside (Dp-3-gluc)) and their respective vinylpyranoanthocyanin-catechins (portisins) were studied in order to evaluate the cytotoxicity effect on the estrogen responsive human breast cancer cell line (ER+) MCF-7 and their effect on

Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that is targeted against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase receptor. Trastuzumab has been successfully used to treat patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, which accounts for ~25% of

The ripe purple berries of the native Indian plant Eugenia jambolana Lam., known as Jamun, are popularly consumed and available in the United States in Florida and Hawaii. Despite the growing body of data on the chemopreventive potential of edible berry extracts, there is paucity of such data for

Fruits of Morus alba L. (mulberry) have various bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and anthocyanins and used as a herbal medicine. However, the anti-cancer effects and molecular basis have not been elucidated. We isolated the cyanidin-3-glucoside in various cultivar of mulberry by

Anthocyanidins, the aglycones of anthocyanins, impart brilliant colors in many fruits and vegetables. The widespread consumption of diets rich in anthocyanin and anthocyanidins prompted us to determine their inhibitory effects on human cancer cell proliferation. Five anthocyanidins, cyanidin (1),

OBJECTIVE Dietary anthocyanins hold great promise in the prevention of chronic disease but factors affecting their bioavailability remain poorly defined. Specifically, the role played by transport mechanisms at the intestinal and blood-brain barriers (BBB) is currently unknown. METHODS In the

Purple corn color is a widely used food colorant that was reported to have attenuating effects on hypertension, diabetes, and to have anti-cancer effects on colon and breast cancer. Our study is the first on its possible chemoprevention effects against prostate cancer. For this purpose an

The chemical composition, antioxidant (DPPH and ABTS assays), anti-inflammatory (5-LOX), and cytotoxic (MCF-7) activities from flowers of seven pomegranate varieties (Punica granatum) were investigated. The highest phenolics (330.9±11.3 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight (dw)), flavonoids

The current status of the isolation, identification, biological activity, utilization and development prospects of flavonoids found in litchi fruit pericarp (LFP) tissues is reviewed. LFP tissues account for approximately 15% by weight of the whole fresh fruit and are comprised of significant amount
