Borax-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells involves p53, Bcl-2, and Bax.
Borax, a boron compound and a salt of boric acid, is known to inhibit the growth of tumor cells. HepG2 cells have been shown to be clearly susceptible to the anti-proliferative effects of borax. However, the specific mechanisms regulating this effect are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the pathways underlying the growth inhibition induced by borax in HepG2 cells. The effects ...
متن کاملThe relationship between cisplatin-induced apoptosis and p53, bcl-2 and bax expression in human lung cancer cells
OBJECTIVES Given the roles of bcl-2, bax and p53 in apoptosis, we investigated the effect of their expression on the response to cisplatin in order to understand the molecular events of cisplatin-resistance in lung cancers. METHODS Three parental human lung cancer cell lines (PC9, PC14 and H69) and their in vitro selected cisplatin-resistant sublines were examined. Cells treated with cisplati...
متن کاملRice bran phytic acid induced apoptosis through regulation of Bcl-2/Bax and p53 genes in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Phytic acid (PA) has been reported to have positive nutritional benefits and prevent cancer formation. This study investigated the anticancer activity of rice bran PA against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Cytotoxicty of PA (0.5 to 4mM) was examined by MTT and LDH assays after 24 and 48 h treatment. Apoptotic activity was evaluated by expression analysis of apoptosis-regulatory genes [...
متن کاملRegulation of p53-, Bcl-2- and caspase-dependent signaling pathway in xanthorrhizol-induced apoptosis of HepG2 hepatoma cells.
Xanthorrhizol is a sesquiterpenoid compound extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza. This study investigated the antiproliferative effect and the mechanism of action of xanthorrhizol on human hepatoma cells, HepG2, and the mode of cell death. An antiproliferative assay using methylene blue staining revealed that xanthorrhizol inhibited the proliferation of the HepG2 cells with a 50% ...
متن کاملEffects of 1Hz 100mT electromagnetic field on apoptosis induction and Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio in breast cancer cells
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common metastatic malignancy and the second leading cause of death in women. Recently, extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) seem to modulate the rate of proliferation and enhance apoptosis and are considered as an emerging approach to cancer therapy. Despite recent success in the electromagnetic fields, the results are still neither d...
