Busulfan induces oxidative stress- and Bcl-2 family gene-related apoptosis in epididymal sperm and testis of adult male mice
Introduction: Busulfan as a chemotherapeutic agent causes testicular germinal epithelium depletion and cytotoxicity in germ cells. The aim of this study was to assess antioxidant status, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis-related genetic markers of adult male mouse sperm following busulfan treatment. Materials and Methods: Forty adult NMRI mice (30 ± 5 g) were divided...
متن کاملExpression of the Apoptosis Inhibitor Bcl-2 in Sputum Eosinophils in Patients with Asthma
Background and Objectives: Apoptosis of eosinophils is of significant value in assessing the airway inflammation in patients with asthma. Our purpose was to investigate the degree of expression of the Bcl-2 protein in sputum eosinophils during acute asthma exacerbation and its relationship with exacerbation severity. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in Mostafa Khomeini Ho...
متن کاملExpression of a fungal sesquiterpene cyclase gene in transgenic tobacco.
The complete coding sequence for the trichodiene synthase gene from Fusarium sporotrichioides was introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) under the regulation of the cauliflower mosiac virus 35S promoter. Expression of trichodiene synthase was demonstrated in the leaves of transformed plants. Leaf homogenates incubated with [(3)H]farnesyl pyrophosphate produced trichodiene as a major produc...
متن کاملTransgenic Expression of Human Bcl-2 in Osteoblasts in Mice Prevents Glucocorticoid-induced Apoptosis
Introduction High dose glucocorticoids lead to bone loss primarily by decreasing bone formation and increasing osteoblast apoptosis. In bone, glucocorticoids have also been shown to induce apoptosis by downregulating bcl-2, a cell survival factor. To elucidate the role of apoptosis and to determine if apoptosis affects bone mass, a transgenic mouse (Col2.3bcl-2) was developed that over-expresse...
متن کاملApoptosis: Bcl-2-related proteins get connected
Bcl-2 family proteins are key intracellular regulators of programmed cell death. Several recent discoveries demonstrate how these proteins interact with the molecular machinery that controls and executes the cell-death programme, and how they can themselves be regulated by extracellular survival signals.
