Elevation of serum phase II enzymes by anticarcinogenic enzyme inducers: markers for a chemoprotected state?

abstract：:We previously reported that quinacrine (QC) has anticancer activity against breast cancer cells. Here, we examine the mechanism of action of QC and its ability to inhibit Wnt-TCF signaling in two independent breast cancer cell lines. QC altered Wnt-TCF signaling components by increasing the levels of adenomatous polyp...
