Pair Name | Pancratistatin, Tamoxifen | |||
Disease Info | [ICD-11: 2C60] | Breast cancer | Investigative | |
Biological Phenomena | Induction-->Mitochondria-mediated apoptosis | |||
Gene Regulation | Up-regulation | Expression | ROS1 | hsa6098 |
In Vitro Model | MCF-7 | Invasive breast carcinoma of no special type | Homo sapiens (Human) | CVCL_0031 |
Result | In combination with the anti-estrogen Tamoxifen, PST had a synergic effect |
Pair Name | Pancratistatin, Tamoxifen | |||
Disease Info | [ICD-11: 2C30] | Melanoma | Investigative | |
Biological Phenomena | Induction-->Apoptosis | |||
Gene Regulation | Up-regulation | Expression | ROS1 | hsa6098 |
Result | Our results indicate that TAM alone does not induce apoptosis in this cell line, but sensitizes the mitochondria, thereby enhancing the effect of PST exposure. In conclusion, combination of two nongenotoxic compounds offers a novel treatment regime for this notoriously resilient form of skin cancer. |
