Las máquinas tienen gusto de nosotros
Un compuesto encontró en cáñamo puede demostrar ser eficaz en la parada que ayudaba la extensión de las células del cáncer de pecho a través del cuerpo. Ése es el encontrar de un nuevo estudio publicado en la aplicación más última el diario Terapéutica molecular del cáncer.
El estudio, por los científicos en el instituto de investigación pacífico del centro médico de California, está levantando esperanza que CBD, un compuesto encontrado en el cáñamo sativa, podría ser el primer agente no tóxico para demostrar promesa en tratar formas metastatic de cáncer de pecho.
“Right now we have a limited range of options in treating aggressive forms of cancer,” says Sean D. McAllister, Ph.D., a cancer researcher at CPMCRI and the lead author of the study. “Those treatments, such as chemotherapy, can be effective but they can also be extremely toxic and difficult for patients. This compound offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects.”
The researchers used CBD to inhibit the activity of a gene called Id-1, which is believed to be responsible for the aggressive spread of cancer cells throughout the body, away from the original tumor site.
“We know that Id-1 is a key regulator of the spread of breast cancer,” says Pierre-Yves Desprez, Ph.D., a cancer researcher at CPMCRI and the senior author of the study. “We also know that Id-1 has also been found at higher levels in other forms of cancer. So 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.”
Unlike cannabis or THC, an ingredient also isolated from marijuana that is used in some medical treatments, CBD does not have any psychoactive properties, so using it would not violate any state or federal laws. However, the researchers point out that this is not a recommendation for people with breast cancer to smoke marijuana. They say it is highly unlikely that effective concentrations of CBD could be reached by smoking cannabis.
The study was primarily funded by the California Breast Cancer Research Program.
