Epoxypukalide Induces Proliferation and Protects against Cytokine-Mediated Apoptosis in Primary Cultures of Pancreatic β-Cells
There is an urgency to find new treatments for the devastating epidemic of diabetes. Pancreatic β-cells viability and function are impaired in the two most common forms of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Regeneration of pancreatic β-cells has been proposed as a potential therapy for diabetes. In a preliminary study, we screened a collection of marine products for β-cell proliferation. One unique c...
متن کاملBerberine protects against glutamate-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in PC12 and N2a cells
Objective(s): Neurodegenerative diseases have been associated with glutamatergic dysfunction. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid broadly present in different medicinal herbs, has been reported to have neuroprotective effect. In the present study, the effects of berberine against glutamate-induced oxidative damage and apoptosis were investigated. Materials and Methods: The cultured PC12 and N2a...
متن کاملArtemisinin protects PC12 cells against β-amyloid-induced apoptosis through activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway
Accumulating evidence displays that an abnormal deposition of amyloid beta-peptide (Aβ) is the primary cause of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). And therefore the elimination of Aβ is regarded as an important strategy for AD treatment. The discovery of drug candidates using culture neuronal cells against Aβ peptide toxicity is believed to be an effective approach to develop drug fo...
متن کاملLipocalin2 Protects Human Embryonic Kidney Cells against Cisplatin–Induced Genotoxicity
Cisplatin is one of the most useful chemotherapeutics which performs its cytotoxic effectvia accumulation of platinum resulting in oxidative stress, and destruction of cell DNA. Thiscould probably cause secondary cancers in healthy tissues. Lipocalin2 (Lcn2) is a protein whichits expression is increased in oxidative stresses. Therefore, the present study was performedto evaluate the protective ...
متن کاملMitochondrial Networking Protects β-Cells From Nutrient-Induced Apoptosis
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have reported that beta-cell mitochondria exist as discrete organelles that exhibit heterogeneous bioenergetic capacity. To date, networking activity, and its role in mediating beta-cell mitochondrial morphology and function, remains unclear. In this article, we investigate beta-cell mitochondrial fusion and fission in detail and report alterations in response to vari...
