Glycyrrhetinic acid induced apoptosis in murine splenocytes.
Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is known to inhibit glucocorticoid metabolism inhibiting 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD). Moreover, GA administration to mice has been shown to affect the lymphoid organs through elevation of endogenous corticosterone concentration. The effect of GA administration on thymus has been demonstrated to show that considerable amounts of thymocytes undergo ap...
متن کاملGlycyrrhetinic Acid Induces Apoptosis in Leukemic HL60 Cells Through Upregulating of CD95/ CD178
Acute leukemia is characterized by the accumulation of neoplastic cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Currently, chemotherapy and differentiating agents have been used for the treatment of leukemia. Recently, plant extracts, either alone or in combination with chemo agents, have been proposed to be used for the treatment of cancers. The aim of the present research was to study the cy...
متن کاملAtrazine-induced apoptosis of splenocytes in BALB/C mice
BACKGROUND Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethytlamino-6-isopropylamine-1,3,5-triazine; ATR), is the most commonly applied broad-spectrum herbicide in the world. Unintentional overspray of ATR poses an immune function health hazard. The biomolecular mechanisms responsible for ATR-induced immunotoxicity, however, are little understood. This study presents on our investigation into the apoptosis of splenocy...
متن کاملGlycyrrhetinic acid alleviates radiation-induced lung injury in mice
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common complication of thoracic radiotherapy, but efficacious therapy for RILI is lacking. This study ascertained whether glycyrrhetinic acid (GA; a functional hydrolyzed product of glycyrrhizic acid, which is extracted from herb licorice) can protect against RILI and investigated its relationship to the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/Smads signali...
متن کاملEffect of aging on UVC-induced apoptosis of rat splenocytes.
UVC-induced apoptotic symptoms such as morphological changes, DNA fragmentation, Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression were examined in primary splenocyte cultures from young (3 months) and old (24 months) rats. The activities of AP-1 and CRE transcription factors in UVC-irradiated splenocytes were also assessed. At 24 h after UVC irradiation 40% of cells derived from young rats were found to be apo...
