Treatment strategies encompass synchronization of more than one therapy with specific dependence on zeroing side effects of natural products that might represent a niche in the continuous struggle against cancer. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the role of WS (Ashwagandha) in forcing MCF7 or MDA-MB 231 irradiated breast cancer cells to outweigh the route of programmed cell death. We check to what extent SIRT1-BCL2/Bax signaling pathway was interrelated to form apoptotic cancer cells.

Targeted nanomedicines have tremendous therapeutic potential in BC treatment over their free drug counterparts.
Objective: Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the newly fabricated pH-sensitive multifunctional FAHA- Amygdalin@FeO nano-core-shell composite (AF nanocomposite) and/or γ-radiation for effective localized BC therapy.
Apelin-13 and APJ are implicated in different key physiological processes. This work aims at exploring the radioprotective effect of fucoxanthin (FX) on γ-radiation (RAD)-induced changes in the apelin-13/APJ pathway, which causes damage in the liver, kidney, lung and spleen of mice. Mice were administered FX (10 mg kg-1 day-1, i.

Objective: The present study is an endeavor to evaluate the influence of luteolin, a modifier to apoptotic regulator on the tumor growth and the tumor cell sensitivity to ionizing radiation in Ehrlich solid tumor-bearing mice (E).
(graviola) has been claimed for its potential against various diseases including cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer effect of graviola extract on Ehrlich solid tumor (EST) mice along with or without a low dose of γ radiation (LDR). Mice were treated with graviola 50 mg/kg body weight orally for 30 days after EST induction and exposed to γ-ray (2 Gy/week for 3 weeks).

This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the antitumor, antiangiogeneic, and synergistic radiosensitizing effects of apigenin, a dietary flavonoid, and/or cryptotanshinone, a terpenoid isolated from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, against the growth of solid Ehrlich carcinoma in female mice. Apigenin (50 mg/kg body weight) and/or cryptotanshinone (40 mg/kg body weight) was intraperitoneally (i.

Aims: The present study was to determine the enzymes expression and activity in cancer and cancer immune therapeutic status and the possible association to cancer common pathological signs targeting the improvement of therapeutic conditions.
Material And Methods: Mice were immunized with cell lyaste or cell lysate + CKI in the right thigh and challenged with live cells of ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in the left thigh.
