Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how constant ovulation and certain cysts in chickens relate to ovarian cancer in humans.
- It focuses on a special group of tiny molecules called miR-200 that are found in high amounts in ovarian cancer cells.
- The researchers found that when miR-200 is present, it helps cells behave differently and could be connected to how ovaries function and develop cancer.
Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids are dietary long-chain fatty acids with an array of health benefits. Previous research has demonstrated the growth-inhibitory effect of n-3 fatty acids on different cancer cell lines in vitro, yet their anti-tumor effects and underlying action mechanisms on human neuroblastoma LA-N-1 cells have not yet been reported. In this study, we showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) exhibited time- and concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effect on the human neuroblastoma LA-N-1 cells, but had minimal cytotoxicity on the normal or non-tumorigenic cells, as measured by MTT reduction assay.
