Inhibition of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor Signaling Enhanced Silibinin-Induced Activation of Death Receptor and Mitochondrial Apoptotic Pathways in Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells
Silibinin, which had been used as a hepatoprotectant, was shown to have anticancer activity. In this study we investigated the mechanisms of silibinin-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Expressions of Fas ligand (FasL), Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), and Bax were sign...
