Effects of Boric Acid on Invasion, Migration, Proliferation, Apoptosis, Cell Cycle and miRNAs in Medullary Thyroid Cancer Cells

Abstract: Background: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), which makes up 5-10% of all thyroid cancers, is a highly aggressive and chemotherapeutically resistant cancer originating from parafollicular C cells of the thyroid. In recent years, testing of new biological, chemical or natural compounds as an alternative to existing agents used in cancer treatment has been a popular research topic. One of these compounds is boric acid originating from the element boron, and studies have shown that it has anti-carcinogenic, anti-os… Show more

“…Calcium fructoborate increased caspase-3 expression and activity, but no increase in CASP3 was detected in BA treated cells. 26 Similarly, BA was lead to apoptosis in both prostate and breast cancer cell lines, and confirmed this by a measurement of CASP3. 27 However, we found a dose-dependent increase in CASP3 levels in drug candidate molecules.…”
