EFFECTS OF CELLULAR SHORT-TERM STARVATION ON CONVENTIONAL CHEMOTHERAPY RESPONSE IN HUMAN CANCER: UNDERSTANDING OF MOLECULAR MECHANISMS AND MICRORNAS …

Background: Short Term Starvation (STS) is a type of dietary restriction able to reduce tumorigenesis and cancer progression but molecular bases of this effect are still unclear. Aim: In vitro analysis of STS effects in presence of chemotherapy and evaluation of microRNAs (miRNAs) involvement. Results: STS affects the expression profiles of miRNAs involved in chemotherapy response leading to cancer cells sensitization and to healthy cells protection.
