Exploring the Pharmacological Action and Molecular Mechanism of Salidroside in Inhibiting MCF-7 Cell Proliferation and Migration

Transcript

We focus on exploring active compounds derived from natural products and their potential in treating breast cancer. So specifically we aim to elucidate the pharmacologic effects of salidroside and its molecular mechanisms in combining breast cancer. Currently, reliable experimental techniques are lacking to validate salidroside's molecular targets in treating breast cancer.

One significant finding in the field is a potential molecular mechanism of salidroside in enhancing the proliferation and migration of MCF7 cells through the regulation of PI3K/AKT/HIF-1 alpha/FoxO1 signaling. The laboratory's future research directly is to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying breast cancer onset, development, prognosis and outcome. Additionally, we screen for active small molecular drugs derived from natural sources that may add in breast cancer prevention and treatment.

The present protocol describesa comprehensive strategy for evaluating the pharmacological action and mechanism of salidroside in inhibiting MCF-7 cell proliferation and migration.
