Maybe if I smoked pot, I wouldn't be confused.
Please advise. It's all Japanese to me.
What is Actinomycin D-treatment ? Antibiotic?
What is upregulation of HER2?
What is modulating HER2 transcription?
What does this mean? Actinomycin D-treatment interfered with the upregulation of HER2 and cell proliferation by cannabinoid. Taken together, these studies suggest that, in the absence of CB receptors, Delta(9)-THC can stimulate the proliferation of MCF-7 cells by modulating, at least in part, HER2 transcription.<!-- / message -->

Breast cancer finding revives debate on hash A study is called Inhibition of Breast Cancer Aggressiveness and was presented at the California Breast Cancer Research Symposium in September 2007. The researcher said, “Right now we have a limited range of options in treating aggressive forms of cancer. Those treatments, such as chemotherapy, can be effective. But, they can also be extremely painful for patients. They are often toxic and difficult. This compound offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects." Fox News, which has had exclusive interviews with the researchers, said, “ . . . what is exciting about this study is that if CBD can inhibit Id-1 in breast cancer cells, then it may also prove effective at stopping the spread of cancer cells in other forms of the disease, such as colon and brain or prostate cancer."

According to the National Cancer Institute
Marijuana Use in Supportive Care for Cancer Patients
Dronabinol (Marinol®), a synthetic form of the active marijuana constituent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is available by
prescription for use as an antiemetic. In 1985, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its use for the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who had not responded to the standard antiemetic drugs.

CBD, a compound found in Cannabis sativa, could be the first non-toxic agent to show promise in treating metastatic forms of breast cancer.
