Cuscuta campestris induces apoptosis by increasing reactive oxygen species generation in human leukemic cells
Objective: Cuscuta campestris or common dodder is a holoparasitic plant that has been valorized for treatment of liver injury and cancer prevention in traditional medicine. Recently, extract of C. campestris had shown moderate antimicrobial properties and cytotoxic effects. In this study, we examined the level of cellular oxidants, cytotoxicity, apoptosis and differentiation induced by hydr...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species Generation by Lunar Simulants
Introduction: The current interest in human exploration of the Moon and past experiences of Apollo astronauts has rekindled research into the harmful effects of Lunar dust on human health. While the mineralogical composition of lunar regolith has been well documented, other factors, such as partial melting due to space weathering, UV irradiation, and dryness may also contribute to the toxicity ...
متن کاملSimulated microgravity potentiates generation of reactive oxygen species in cells
Microgravity (MG) and space radiation are two major environmental factors of space environment. Ionizing radiation generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) which plays a key role in radiation-induced DNA damage. Interestingly, simulated microgravity (SMG) also increases ROS production in various cell types. Thus, it is important to detect whether SMG could potentiate ROS production induced by ge...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species generation and use of antioxidants during in vitro maturation of oocytes: a Review
In vitro maturation (IVM) is emerging as a popular technology at the forefront of fertility treatment and preservation. However, standard in vitro culture conditions usually increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been implicated as one of the major causes for reduced embryonic developmental competence. It is well-known that higher than physiological levels of ROS triggers granulosa ...
متن کاملGeneration of reactive oxygen species by a persulfide (BnSSH).
Hydropersulfides (RS(x)SH) have been implicated as important intermediates in the cell-killing action of the anticancer natural products leinamycin and varacin. It has been suggested that persulfides can mediate the conversion of molecular oxygen to reactive oxygen species (O2*-, H2O2, and HO*). Here, experiments with synthetic benzyl hydrodisulfide (BnSSH) provide direct evidence that persulfi...
