Core Tip
Core tip:Brucea javanica oil emulsion (BJOE) is a widely used drug against various cancers. However, its anti-cancer effect and potential as a radiosensitizer have not been explored in esophageal cancer. In this study, BJOE reliably inhibited growth, migration, and invasion of esophageal cancerous cells. It was demonstrated that BJOE could be used as a radiosensitizer to promote the apoptosis in esophageal cancerous cells via the cyclin D1-cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 axis.
