Abstract 150: Combined treatment effects of γ-tocotrienol with PPARγ agonists and antagonists on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell growth in culture
Abstract:γ-Tocotrienol (γT3) is a member of the vitamin E family of compounds that displays potent antiproliferative effects against breast cancer cells. Recent studies have shown that combined treatment of subeffective doses of γ-T3 with subeffective doses of statins, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, or EGF receptor inhibitors caused a synergistic inhibition in the highly malignant +SA mammary epithelial cell growth. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a member of the nuclear receptor family is a lig… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
