Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In order to explore the combined effects of gene therapy and hypericin (Hy) on tumor cells, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) was transfected into the hypoxic human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (CNE2) cells using Hy-encapsulated nanocomplexes (Hy-HPP NPs) as a carrier which would achieve dual targeting to the tumor necrosis area."3.83Co-delivery of siRNA and hypericin into cancer cells by hyaluronic acid modified PLGA-PEI nanoparticles. ( Li, Y; Ouahab, A; Shen, Y; Wang, B; Zhang, J, 2016)
"Hypericin is known to generate a high yield of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species that are associated with photo-oxidative cellular damage."2.43Hypericin lights up the way for the potential treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer by photodynamic therapy. ( Bay, BH; Du, HY; Olivo, M, 2006)
"Since there are no reports of IL-6 in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cells following PDT, we evaluated IL-6 expression in two different NPC tumors after hypericin mediated PDT."1.33Hypericin-mediated photodynamic therapy elicits differential interleukin-6 response in nasopharyngeal cancer. ( Bay, BH; Du, H; Mahendran, R; Olivo, M, 2006)
" However, the tumors administered with a initial dose of CX at 24-h post-PDT had no tumor control."1.33Anti-angiogenic effects of Hypericin-photodynamic therapy in combination with Celebrex in the treatment of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma. ( Olivo, M; Soo, KC; Yee, KK, 2005)
"Hypericin appears to be an effective photosensitizer for the treatment of NPC."1.32Biodistribution and photodynamic therapy with hypericin in a human NPC murine tumor model. ( Bay, BH; Du, HY; Olivo, M, 2003)
"Hypericin is a photosensitizer, which is known to generate reactive oxygen species upon activation with light."1.32Photoactivation of hypericin down-regulates glutathione S-transferase activity in nasopharyngeal cancer cells. ( Bay, BH; Du, HY; Olivo, M; Tan, BK, 2004)
