Newest firstRationale Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer that typically affects women ages 20 to 50, presenting as an asymptomatic neck mass. Treatment with total or partial thyroidectomy shows an excellent prognosis. However, investigation of non-invasive therapeutic options with minimal adverse effects is ongoing. This study seeks to investigate the K1 cell line, which consists of PTC cells…
Open article record in new tab ↗The search for more effective and safer cancer therapies has led to an increasing interest in combination treatments that use well-established agents. Here we explore the potential of cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from cannabis, to enhance the anticancer effects of etoposide in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although CBD is primarily used to manage childhood epilepsy, its broader therapeutic applicati…
Aims Although the cannabinoid CB1 receptor has been implicated in atherosclerosis, its cell-specific effects in this disease are not well understood. To address this, we generated a transgenic mouse model to study the role of myeloid CB1 signalling in atherosclerosis. Methods and results Here, we report that male mice with myeloid-specific Cnr1 deficiency on atherogenic background developed smaller lesions and nec…
Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow, leading to excessive immunoglobulin production. Our study aimed to examine the anticancer properties of BRF1A, a cannabinoid (CBD)-enriched product, on 2 myeloma cell lines: U266 and ARH-7. We treated U266 and ARH-77 myeloma cells with varying doses of BRF1A and measured the production o…
Several cannabis plant-derived compounds, especially cannabinoids, exhibit therapeutic potential in numerous diseases and conditions. In particular, THC and CBD impart palliative, antiemetic, as well as anticancer effects. The antitumor effects include inhibition of cancerous cell growth and metastasis and induction of cell death, all mediated by cannabinoid interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Howev…
Open article record in new tab ↗ObjectivesMarijuana is one of the most frequently abused drug in Korea and its adverse health effects are controversial. p53 is known to be crucial in regulating the DNA damage responses, and adverse effects can occur when it is regulated by marijuana smoke. We evaluated a role of p53 on genotoxic effect and apoptosis in lung cancer cells exposed to marijuana smoke condensates (MSCs).MethodsThe p53-related genotox…
