Astaxanthin Reduces Stemness Markers in BT20 and T47D Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Inhibiting Expression of Pontin and Mutant p53
Astaxanthin (AST) is a product made from marine organisms that has been used as an anti-cancer supplement.It reduces pontin expression and induces apoptosis in SKBR3, a breast cancer cell line.Using Western blotting and qRT-PCR analyses, this study revealed that in the T47D and BT20 breast cancer cell lines, AST inhibits expression of pontin and mu
