biostudies-literatureUnknown8Lin ZCanine breast cancer (CBC) is the most common spontaneous tumor in intact female dogs, especially in developing countries. The effective anti-tumor agents or therapies for the clinical treatment of CBC are still in need. Auranofin (AF) is a gold complex that has been attested by FDA for treating human rheumatism, which has been found as a great anti-tumor agent in recent years. ICG-001 is a small molecule inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In the present study, we demonstrated that a combination of AF and ICG-001 could synergistically suppress the proliferation of CBC <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i>. Moreover, the synergistical effect was related with apoptosis caused by mitochondrial damage and ROS production. In conclusion, combination of AF and ICG-001 could synergistically suppressFrontiers in veterinary science772687https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8714754biostudies-literatureAuranofin and ICG-001 Emerge Synergistic Anti-tumor Effect on Canine Breast Cancer by Inducing Apoptosis via Mitochondrial Pathway.PMC8714754Zhang DLin DZhang HLin ZCheng NLin JZhao YfalseAuranofin and ICG-001 Emerge Synergistic Anti-tumor Effect on Canine Breast Cancer by Inducing Apoptosis via Mitochondrial Pathway.Canine breast cancer (CBC) is the most common spontaneous tumor in intact female dogs, especially in developing countries.
