1 Nimbolide upregulates RECK by targeting miR-21 and HIF-1alpha in cell lines and in a hamster oral carcinogenesis model. nimbolide reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with kazal motifs Homo sapiens
2 We also report the chemotherapeutic effect of nimbolide, a limonoid from the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) based on the upregulation of RECK as well as modulation of the expression of key molecules involved in invasion and angiogenesis. nimbolide reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with kazal motifs Homo sapiens
3 We demonstrate that nimbolide upregulates RECK by targeting miR-21, and HIF-1alpha resulting in reduced MMP activity and blockade of VEGF and Notch signalling. nimbolide reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with kazal motifs Homo sapiens
4 Additionally, we demonstrate that nimbolide upregulates RECK expression via downregulation of HIF-1alpha and miR-21 by overexpression and knockdown experiments in SCC4 and EAhy926 cell lines. nimbolide reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with kazal motifs Homo sapiens
5 Taken together, these findings provide compelling evidence that targeting RECK, a keystone protein that regulates mediators of invasion and angiogenesis with phytochemicals such as nimbolide may be a robust therapeutic approach to prevent oral cancer progression. nimbolide reversion inducing cysteine rich protein with kazal motifs Homo sapiens
