(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate induces apoptosis and differentiation in leukaemia by targeting reactive oxygen species and PIN1.

2021 · Apoptosis and cell death

Moreover, EGCG showed inhibition of ROS production in NB4 cells in the presence of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), as well as a partial blockage of neutrophil differentiation and apoptosis, indicating that EGCG-activities involve/or are in response of oxidative stress.

Self-Assembled Daunorubicin/Epigallocatechin Gallate Nanocomplex for Synergistic Reversal of Chemoresistance in Leukemia.

2022 · Treatment response

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a bioactive polyphenol from green tea, has attracted immense interest as a potential chemosensitizer, but its application is limited due to the need for effective formulations capable of co-delivering EGCG and anti-leukemic drugs.

Open study on PubMed →

SphK1 inhibitor potentiates the anti-cancer effect of EGCG on leukaemia cells.

2017 · Cancer biology and response

The study reports sphK1 inhibitor potentiates the anti-cancer effect of EGCG on leukaemia cells.

Open study on PubMed →

Ginsenoside 24-OH-PD from red ginseng inhibits acute T-lymphocytic leukaemia by activating the mitochondrial pathway.

2023 · Metabolism and redox biology

Ginsenoside 24-hydroxy-ginsengdiol (24-OH-PD), extracted from red ginseng, is a novel diol-type ginsenoside, strongly inhibits the growth of human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) CCRF-CEM cells.

Open study on PubMed →

Essential functions of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) in murine leukemia virus replication.

2024 · Immune and inflammatory signaling

Interestingly, we discovered a key difference in the role of IP6 in MLV versus HIV-1: while HIV-1 is not dependent upon IP6 levels in target cells, MLV replication is significantly reduced in IP6-deficient cell lines.

Open study on PubMed →

Melatonin inhibits MLL-rearranged leukemia via RBFOX3/hTERT and NF-κB/COX-2 signaling pathways.

2019 · Apoptosis and cell death

In this study, melatonin inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis by activating the caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway in MLL-r leukemia cells.

Open study on PubMed →

Multitarget effects of quercetin in leukemia.

2014 · Apoptosis and cell death

Furthermore, in vivo administration of quercetin significantly reduced tumor volume in P39 xenografts and confirmed in vitro results regarding apoptosis, autophagy, and cell-cycle arrest.

Open study on PubMed →

Quercetin inhibits the cAMP/PKA/CREB/glycolysis axis to exert anti-acute lymphoblastic leukemia effects.

2025 · Tumor growth and proliferation

Quercetin (Que) demonstrates broad antitumor effects by inhibiting glycolysis and cell proliferation.

Open study on PubMed →

Rapamycin increases leukemia cell sensitivity to chemotherapy by regulating mTORC1 pathway-mediated apoptosis and autophagy.

2024 · Treatment response

Analysis by cell counting kit-8, western blot, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry was performed, and results suggested that both rapamycin and chemotherapy inhibited proliferation of SHI-1 cells both in vitro and in vivo, suppressed neoplasm growth in vivo, and promoted survival of NPG AML mice.

Open study on PubMed →

Rapamycin induces human acute promyelocytic leukemia cell HL-60 autophagic apoptosis.

2017 · Apoptosis and cell death

HL-60 cell proliferation could be significantly inhibited by rapamycin (80 μg/mL-640 μg/mL), which was in a dose-dependent manner.

Open study on PubMed →

Rapamycin inhibits the progression of human acute myeloid leukemia by regulating the circ_0094100/miR-217/ATP1B1 axis.

2022 · Apoptosis and cell death

Rapamycin treatment suppressed AML cell viability and promoted apoptosis in a dose-dependent way.

Open study on PubMed →

Involvement of Sphingolipid Metabolism Enzymes in Resveratrol-Mediated Cytotoxicity in Philadelphia-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

The anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of resveratrol alone and in combination with SPT inhibitor (myriocin), SK inhibitor (SKI II), GCS inhibitor (PDMP) were determined by MTT cell proliferation assay and flow cytometry, respectively.

Open study on PubMed →

Antitumor effects of sodium selenite on acute lymphocytic leukemia.

2021 · Cancer biology and response

We trialed the different dosages (0 × 106 M, 2.7 × 106 M, 5.4 × 106 M, and 8.1 × 106 M) of sodium selenite given to the acute lymphocytic leukemia cell lines incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h.
