Insulin can modulate MCF-7 cell response to paclitaxelAntonella Miglietta
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, Corso Raffaello 30, Torino 10125, Italy
Cancer Lett 209:139-45. 2004..Our findings indicate that insulin seems to modulate MCF-7 cell response to paclitaxel; consequently, elevated levels of insulin could influence tumor cell resistance...

Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, Universita di Torino, Corso Raffaello 30, 10125 Torino, Italy
Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 51:67-74. 2003..have not been evaluated in depth. We investigated the microtubule-interacting and antiproliferative activities of these drugs and the molecular mechanisms underlying their effects...
Comparative studies on biological activity of certain microtubule-interacting taxanesAntonella Miglietta
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, Corso Raffaello 30, 10125 Torino, Italy
Chem Biol Interact 139:283-99. 2002..By virtue of this mechanism, some of these taxanes may provide usefulness for therapeutic improvements...
Cytoskeleton-interacting activity of geiparvarin, diethylstilbestrol and conjugatesC Bocca
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, Corso Raffaello 30, 10125, Torino, Italy
Chem Biol Interact 137:285-305. 2001..Unlike other anti-microtubule agents, they do not exhibit cell-cycle compartment specificity and do not influence thymidine uptake in the cell...
CLA reduces breast cancer cell growth and invasion through ERalpha and PI3K/Akt pathwaysC Bocca
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, C so Raffaello 30, 10125 Torino, Italy
Chem Biol Interact 183:187-93. 2010..These findings suggest that CLA may induce the down-regulation of ERalpha signalling and the reduction of cell invasion through the modulation of balancing between phosphatases and kinases...
Antiproliferative effect of conjugated linoleic acid in caco-2 cells: involvement of PPARgamma and APC/beta-catenin pathwaysFrancesca Bozzo
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, C Raffaello 30, 10125 Torino, Italy

Involvement of PPAR gamma and E-cadherin/beta-catenin pathway in the antiproliferative effect of conjugated linoleic acid in MCF-7 cellsClaudia Bocca
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, Torino, Italy
Int J Cancer 121:248-56. 2007..These studies indicate that CLA regulates PPAR gamma expression by selectively acting as an agonist and may influence cell-cell adhesion and invasiveness of MCF-7 cells...
Conjugated linoleic acid inhibits Caco-2 cell growth via ERK-MAPK signaling pathwayClaudia Bocca
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, 10125, Torino, Italy
J Nutr Biochem 18:332-40. 2007..Our data suggest that CLA is dependent, at least in part, on the ERK kinase pathway for its ability to inhibit the growth of Caco-2 cancer cells...
Evidence that low doses of Taxol enhance the functional transactivatory properties of p53 on p21 waf promoter in MCF-7 breast cancer cellsM Luisa Panno
Department of Cellular Biology, University of Calabria, Ponte Pietro Bucci, Cubo 4C, 87030, Arcavacata di Rende, Cosenza, Italy
FEBS Lett 580:2371-80. 2006..Prolonged exposure of MCF-7 cells to Taxol (48 h) resulted in an increased co-association between p21 and PCNA compared to control and this well fits with the simultaneous block of cell cycle into the G2/M phase...
Conjugated linoleic acid induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells through ERK/MAPK signalling and mitochondrial pathwayAntonella Miglietta
Department of Experimental Medicine and Oncology, University of Torino, Corso Raffaello 30, 10125 Turin, Italy
Cancer Lett 234:149-57. 2006..From the above data, we are induced to think that CLA may trigger apoptosis in the estrogen unresponsive MDA-MB-231 cell line via mechanisms involving above all the mitochondrial pathway...
An overview of the effect of linoleic and conjugated-linoleic acids on the growth of several human tumor cell linesMarina Maggiora
Dipartimento di Medicina e Oncologia Sperimentale, , Torino, Italy
Int J Cancer 112:909-19. 2004..In conclusion, CLA may be regarded as a component of the diet that exerts antineoplastic activity and its effect may be antiproliferative or pro-apoptotic...
