Wedelia chinensis is a common ingredient of anti-inflammatory herbal medicines in Taiwan and southern China. Inflammation involved promoting tumor growth, invasion, metastasis. This study aims to test the biological effects vivo W. extract on prostate cancer.The efficacy mechanisms action oral administration standardized were analyzed animals bearing subcutaneous or orthotopic cancer xenograft.Exposure cells induced apoptosis selectively androgen receptor (AR)-positive shifted proportion...
Activation of the NFκB pathway is often associated with advanced cancer and has thus been regarded as a rational therapeutic target. Wedelia chinensis rich in luteolin, apigenin, wedelolactone that act synergistically to suppress androgen receptor activity prostate cancer. Interestingly, our evaluation standardized herbal extract (WCE) concluded its efficacy on hormone-refractory through systemic mechanisms. Oral administration WCE significantly attenuated tumor growth metastasis orthotopic...
Crosstalk between the androgen receptor (AR) and other signaling pathways in prostate cancer (PCa) severely affects therapeutic outcome of hormonal therapy. Although anti-androgen therapy prolongs overall survival PCa patients, resistance rapidly develops is often associated with increased AR expression upregulation HER2/3-AKT pathway. However, single agent targeting AR, HER2/3 or AKT usually fails due to reciprocal feedback loop. Previously, we reported that wedelolactone, apigenin,...
