  1. 1. Effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and digitoxin in prostate cancer cells

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

    Author : Malin Nordqvist; [2017]
    Keywords : Prostate cancer; 25-hydroxyvitamin D3; Vitamin D; Digitoxin;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most occurring form of cancer in men in Sweden and new candidates for treatment towards advanced phases of prostate cancer needs to be investigated. One suggested treatment is vitamin D which will mediate effect via VDR and PDIA3 and cause cell cycle arrest. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Polyamine Analogues PG11144 and PG11047 Inhibit Cell Proliferation and Decrease the Malignancy in LNCap-FGC Prostate Cancer Cells in Normoxia and Hypoxia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Johanna Emgård; [2013]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Abstract One of many new targets when looking for anti-cancer treatment is the polyamine pathway, which is essential in cell proliferation, gene regulation and cell death. A way to intervene with this pathway is to use compounds called polyamine analogues. READ MORE

  5. 4. 24,25(OH)2D3 and Regulation of Catalase Activity in LNCaP Prostate Cancer

    University essay from Institutionen för vård och natur

    Author : Anette Stahel; [2007]
    Keywords : prostate cancer; proliferation; growth inhibition; vitamin D; 24; 25 OH 2D3; catalase; hydrogen peroxide; H2O2;

    Abstract : The vitamin D metabolite 1,25(OH)2D3 has long been known to inhibit growth of prostate cancer cells and this has been attributed to a VDR-mediated pathway controlling target gene expression, resulting in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and differentiation. New research has shown that another vitamin D metabolite, 24,25(OH)2D3, inhibits proliferation of prostate cancer cells as well, more specifically, cells of the line LNCaP. READ MORE
