Hide/Show
Combination Pair ID: 942
Pair Name Escin, Cisplatin
Partner Name Cisplatin
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C60] Breast cancer Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Ferroptosis
Gene Regulation Down-regulation Expression GPX4 hsa2879
Down-regulation Expression G6PD hsa2539
In Vitro Model MCF-7 Invasive breast carcinoma of no special type Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0031
MDA-MB-231 Breast adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0062
In Vivo Model MDA-MB-231 cells (2.5×10⁶ cells per mouse) stably expressing sh-NC and sh-G6PD were established.When the tumor grew to approximately 60 mm3, 2 mg/kg Escin was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline as the control.
Result Role of Escin in breast cancer therapy: potential mechanism for inducing ferroptosis and synergistic antitumor activity with cisplatin
Combination Pair ID: 943
Pair Name Escin, Sorafenib
Partner Name Sorafenib
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C12] Hepatocellular carcinoma Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Blockade of cell cycle in G0/G1 phase
Gene Regulation Up-regulation Expression BECN1 hsa8678
Up-regulation Expression SQSTM1 hsa8878
Up-regulation Expression MAP1LC3B hsa81631
In Vitro Model Hep-G2 Hepatoblastoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0027
In Vivo Model For the following 4 weeks, the animalsreceived daily treatments of water/saline as vehicle, sorafenib (10 mg/kgbw, oral) and escin (10 mg/kg bw, i.p.) alone and also in combination.
Result Escin and sorafenib combination potentially up-regulates p62 to block autophagy to induce late apoptosis in liver cancer cells.

Combination Pair ID: 600
Pair Name Escin, Sorafenib
Partner Name Sorafenib
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C25.Z] Lung cancer Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Blockade of cell cycle in G0/G1 phase
Gene Regulation Up-regulation Expression SQSTM1 hsa8878
Up-regulation Expression MAP1LC3B hsa81631
Down-regulation Expression ATG5 hsa9474
In Vitro Model A-549 Lung adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0023
NCI-H460 Lung large cell carcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0459
In Vivo Model Wistar rats, aged between 6 and 8 weeks, weighing 150–200 g (male),were uesd in study.
Result This combination also selectively targeted G0/G1 phase of cancer cells. In in vivo study, the combination reduced tumour load and lower elevated serum biochemical parameters. The combination of sorafenib/escin synergistically inhibits autophagy to induce late apoptosis in lung cancer cells' G0/G1 phase.
