PI3K, AKT AND ERR-ALPHA PATHWAYS IN FLAVONOID-INHIBITING TUMORIGENESIS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 众所周知，水果和蔬菜中的抗氧化剂对肺癌、结肠癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌、膀胱癌和胃癌有保护作用。在这项研究中，我们将探讨芹菜素和类黄酮类化合物抑制的潜在信号通路在介导卵巢癌细胞增殖和肿瘤生长中的作用。这项研究将进一步深入了解芹菜素抑制卵巢肿瘤形成和血管生成的分子机制(S)。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. It is known that antioxidants from fruits and vegetables have protective effects against lung, colon, breast, prostate, bladder, and stomach cancer. In this study, we will investigate the roles of potential signaling pathways inhibited by apigenin and flavonoids in mediating ovarian cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. The study will provide further insight into the molecular mechanism(s) underlying apigenin-mediated inhibition of ovarian tumor formation and angiogenesis.
