Molecular mechanism of anti-cancer activity of selected natural compounds.
Smolová, Dagmar ; Vališ, Karel (advisor) ; Flieger, Miroslav (referee)
Molecular mechanism of anti-cancer activity of selected natural compounds Přírodovědecká fakulta Univerzity Karlovi v Praze Smolová Dagmar Nowadays, cancer is affecting more then a third of the world's population and it's the cau- se of more than 20% of all deaths. A better understanding of cancer at the epigenic, gene- tic, molecular and cellular levels is opening up lots of opportunities to intervene with the goal of preventing end-stage of the invasive disease. Recently, much attention is paid to the natural substances because of its ability to interact specifically in the tumorgenesis. This compounds are preferred before the standard treatment because of its availability and safe- ty. In this work, there were observed the effects of 6-shogaol, 6-gingerol and galangin in the leukemic cells Jurkat. The greatest efficiency was showed by 6-shogaol wich caused apoptosis in cells by activating the antiproliferative signalling of Hippo pathway and it also decreased the expression of C-MYC oncogene. There was also a decline of C-MYC onco- protein wich has a key role in the tumor cells metabolism through it's ability to provide enought of energy for the growth and active proliferation. (In Czech)
