Nimbolide / ER Stress Cancer Research Results

Nimb, Nimbolide: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Nimbolide is a compound found in the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties. It is a type of limonoid, a class of compounds that are commonly found in citrus fruits and other plants.

Research has shown that nimbolide has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on various types of cancer cells, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer cells. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Some of the ways in which nimbolide may help to prevent or treat cancer include:
-Inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes that are involved in cancer cell growth and survival
-Inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cancer cells
-Inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that are needed to support the growth of cancer cells
-Enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
ER Stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling pathway: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Protein expression of ATF, GRP78, and GADD153 which is a hall marker of ER stress.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling pathway plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to various stressors, including those encountered in cancer. When cells experience stress, such as the accumulation of misfolded proteins, they activate a series of signaling pathways collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR aims to restore normal function by enhancing the protein-folding capacity of the ER, degrading misfolded proteins, and, if the stress is unresolved, triggering apoptosis.
The activation of ER stress pathways can contribute to resistance against chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Cancer cells may utilize the UPR to survive treatment-induced stress, making it challenging to achieve effective therapeutic outcomes.

-ER stress-associated proteins include: phosphorylation of PERK, eIF2α, ATF4, CHOP and cleaved-caspase 12
