1 Berberine suppresses TPA-induced fibronectin expression through the inhibition of VEGF secretion in breast cancer cells. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
2 Here, we investigated the effect of BBR on TPA-induced VEGF and fibronectin (FN) as well as VEGF-induced FN in breast cancer cells. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Our results showed that TPA, a tumor promoter, significantly increased the level of VEGF and FN expression in both MCF7 and T47D breast cancer cells. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
4 On the other hand, TPA-induced VEGF and FN expression was suppressed by LY294002, a PI-3K inhibitor. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
5 We also found that TPA-induced VEGF and FN expression was decreased by BBR treatment. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSION: Taken together, we suggest that BBR may suppress TPA-induced VEGF and FN as well as VEGF-induced FN through the inhibition of the PI-3K/AKT pathway in breast cancer cells. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
