Amifostine protects against chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity: an in vitro investigation.
BACKGROUND Peripheral neurotoxicity is a dose-limiting side-effect of a number of effective chemotherapeutic agents. Neuroprotective agents may help to reduce neurotoxicity, thus allowing the intensification of cytostatic therapy in patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, using the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC-12 neurite-outgrowth assay, the potential of amifostine to pro...
متن کاملThe Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Effects of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in MCF-7 Cell Line and Amniocytes
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an industrial xenoestrogen used widely in our living environment. Recently, several studies suggested that BPA has destructive effects on DNA and chromosomes in normal body cells via estrogen receptors (ER). Therefore, BPA could be considered as an important mediator in many diseases such as cancer. However, there are still many controversial issues which need clarification...
متن کاملGrowth hormone protects against radiotherapy-induced cell death.
BACKGROUND In vivo treatment with growth hormone reduces radiation-associated mortality. The molecular mechanisms underlying this effect are unknown. It has been described that increased sensitivity to ionising radiation can be due to defects in machinery involved in detection and/or repair of DNA double-strand breaks. OBJECTIVE To study the mechanisms involved in growth hormone action on the...
متن کاملCervicovaginal cytology in patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy using the Focalpoint system: results from the RODEO study
BACKGROUND Evaluate the performance of the Focalpoint system in identifying and classifying cervical cytology alterations from samples collected from patients treated with Radiotherapy (RT). METHODS The reproducibility of manual and automated screening by cytotechnologists using the BD Focalpoint GS Imaging System was examined. Samples were collected from May 2010 to August 2011. RESULTS A ...
متن کاملIsorhamnetin Protects Human Keratinocytes against Ultraviolet B-Induced Cell Damage
Isorhamnetin (3-methylquercetin) is a flavonoid derived from the fruits of certain medicinal plants. This study investigated the photoprotective properties of isorhamnetin against cell damage and apoptosis resulting from excessive ultraviolet (UV) B exposure in human HaCaT keratinocytes. Isorhamnetin eliminated UVB-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attenuated the oxidative...
