Doxorubicin is a first-line chemotherapeutic for breast cancer; however, it is associated with severe side effects to non-tumoral tissues. Thus, it is necessary to develop new therapeutic combinations to improve doxorubicin effects at lower concentration of the drug associated with protective effects for non-tumoral cells. In this work, we evaluated whether the plant-derived flavonoid quercetin may represent such an agent.

    As the first step in the process of carcinogenesis, most chemical carcinogens require metabolic activation by cytochromes P450 for conversion to highly reactive electrophiles that bind covalently to DNA. Studies in rodents suggest that low or high levels of expression of a single P450 can determine...

    We have shown that the transcriptional status of p53 determines the sensitivity to antimicrotubule drugs and that this is mediated through the regulation of microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4). Expression of MAP4 is transcriptionally repressed by wild-type p53. Increased expression of MAP4, whic...
