Tf Cancer Research Results

Tf, Transferrin: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Transferrin is a glycoprotein found in the blood that binds and transports iron throughout the body.
Its primary role is to deliver iron to various tissues, especially to cells that require iron for processes like hemoglobin synthesis.
Transferrin itself is a circulating protein primarily produced by the liver.

Although its serum levels are clinically monitored (e.g., in iron studies and nutritional assessments), cancer-related studies more commonly focus on uptake mechanisms (via the transferrin receptor) rather than on changes in transferrin production per se.
In some tumor microenvironments, local factors might influence transferrin levels, but the clinical focus tends to be on how cancer cells take up iron.

2082- HNK,    Revealing the role of honokiol in human glioma cells by RNA-seq analysis
- in-vitro, GBM, U87MG - in-vitro, GBM, U251
AntiCan↑, In summary, studies have demonstrated that honokiol has multiple anticancer effects
TumCP↑, honokiol suppresses cell proliferation, and promotes autophagy and apoptosis
TumAuto↑,
Apoptosis↑,
*BioAv↑, honokiol could improve bioavailability in nerve tissue through passing the blood-brain barrie
*neuroP↑, honokiol has neuroprotective effects.
*NF-kB↑, honokiol could reduce cytokine production and stimulate glial nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) to eliminate the inflammatory response during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion activity
MAPK↑, honokiol activated cells MAPK signaling pathway in human glioma cells
GPx4↑, The results showed that the ferroptosis-associated protein GPX4 was suppressed in honokiol-treated cells compared to control cells.
Tf↑, Ferroptosis-associated protein TF was upregulated in both honokiol-treated cell lines compared to the control
BAX↑, BAX was increased, and the expression of Bcl-2 was suppressed in both honokiol-treated cells, indicating that honokiol induced apoptosis in the human glioma cell lines U87-MG and U251-MG.
Bcl-2↓,
antiOx↑, Researchers have found that the antioxidant capacity of honokiol is 1000 times greater than that of vitamin E
Hif1a↓, reduce HIF-1α protein levels and suppress hypoxia-related signaling pathways
Ferroptosis↑, Honokiol activated ferroptosis in human glioma cells
