1 BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that glucosamine inhibits the proliferation of various human cancer cell lines and downregulates the activity of COX-2, HIF-1alpha, p70S6K, and transglutaminase 2. Glucosamine mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 Because the IGF-1R/Akt pathway is a common upstream regulator of p70S6K, HIF-1alpha, and COX-2, we hypothesized that glucosamine inhibits cancer cell proliferation through this pathway. Glucosamine mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
