morus nigra/breast neoplasms

A series of compounds derived from naturally occurring flavonoids and synthetic analogs have been evaluated on cell lines overexpressing the wild-type breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) half-transporter. Human ABCG2-transfected cells were used for screening their inhibitory activity. Five

Morus species had been used widely in the traditional medicines for various diseases. In this study we report the in vitro antiproliferative activity of the methanol extract of Morus alba. The extract is capable of inducing cytotoxicity in human colon cancer (HCT-15) cells (IC(50) = 13.8 μg/ml) and

Although Moracin D derived from Morus alba was known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, the underlying antitumor mechanism of Moracin D has not been unveiled thus far. Thus, in the recent study, the apoptotic mechanism of Moracin D was elucidated in breast cancer cells. Herein,

Combining different foods may produce additive, synergistic, or antagonistic interactions that may modify certain physiological effects (i.e., anticancer properties). For investigating these interactions and potential synergetic combinations, thirteen foods from three categories, including fruits

Medicinal values of mulberry are known to humans from ancient ages. The white mulberry, Morus alba L. is a rich source of many bioactive phytochemicals. Earlier investigations in our laboratory lead to the purification and characterization of an anti-proliferative lectin (MLL) from the leaves of

Morusin which has been isolated from the root bark of Morus alba L. (Moraceae) has previously demonstrated anticancer activity in various types of cancer cells such as hepatocellular carcinoma, glioma and prostate cancer. However, the effect of morusin on breast cancer cells remains unclear. In the

Plant flavonoid 2',3,4',5,7‑pentahydroxyflavone (morin hydrate), isolated from the family Moraceae (Morus alba L.), is known to have anti‑inflammatory and anticancer effects. However, its pharmaceutical effects on metastasis have not been fully elucidated to date. Therefore, the current study

Cancer cells with immunogenic properties having altered protein glycosilation, modified blood group substances have been widely studied [Kannagi R, Miyake M, Zenita KM, Itai S, Hiraiwa N, Shigeta K, et al. Cancer-associated carbohydrate antigens: modified blood group substances and oncodevelopmental

Cell division cycle and apoptosis regulator 1 (CCAR1) is a deleted in breast cancer domain containing protein and their molecular roles in the animal system are well characterized. So far study on CCAR1 protein has not available in the plant system. The domain-based phylogenetic study clearly

A novel anti-proliferative lectin was purified from Morus alba L. (Mulberry) leaves by a two step chromatographic procedure namely, immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) and convective interaction media (CIM) based anion exchange chromatography. The purified mulberry leaf lectin (MLL)

BACKGROUND Mobile phones have become nearly ubiquitous, offering a promising means to deliver health interventions. However, little is known about smartphone applications (apps) for cancer. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to characterize the purpose and content of cancer-focused smartphone

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

BACKGROUND Mulberry root bark was shown to induce cyclin D1 proteasomal degradation in the human colorectal cancer cells. Still, the molecular mechanisms whereby mulberry root bark induces cyclin D1 proteasomal degradation remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE In this study, the inhibitory effect of

BACKGROUND There are around 40,000 healthcare applications (apps) available for smartphones. Apps have been reviewed in many specialties. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in females with almost 1.38 million new cases a year worldwide. Despite the high prevalence of breast disease, apps in
