Our recent research indicated that in most of the cancers we examined, we often found the following abnormalities. In a majority of the cancers, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterus cancer, as well as various adenocarcinomas, including those of the esophagus, stomach, colon, pancreas,& prostate gland, we found significantHuman Papilloma Virus type 16 (HPV-16)infections. In these cancer tissues, we found Vitamin D3 receptor stimulant, 1α, 25 (OH)2 D3 is markedly reduced. As a result, by giving optimal dose of Vitamin D3 400 I.U. 3 times/day, cancer markers such as Oncogene-C fosAB-2, Integrin α5β1 and 8-OH-dG were significantly reduced. It was …

One of the main obstacles to success of chemotherapy agents is the development of cancer resistance. Cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) is thought to arise from over-expression of efflux transporters on cancer cells’ plasma membranes. Recently, microparticles (MP) were found to play a major role in mediating the resistance to antineoplastic agents. Microparticles can confer MDR phenotype to cancer cells though 3 complimentary pathways: 1) Intercellular transfer of P-gp and MRP1; 2) Intercellular transfer of regulatory nucleic acids that ensure acquisition of MDR phenotype; and 3) Internal sequestration of anticancer drugs to reduce the amount of free active drug. Compounds that …

Ilex paraguariensis, Yerba Maté, is a subtropical plant native to South America, where it is consumed several times daily as a tea made with roasted leaves. Several studies have been conducted to elucidate the beneficial effects of this plant. A recent study has shown that saponins isolated from Yerba Maté extract induce apoptosis in human colon cancer cells, while another study indicated that the consumption of Maté tea causes higher incidence of esophageal cancer. Our study looked into the effects Yerba Maté extract have on human breast cancer cells and non-cancer cells from the same tissue. The findings show …
