Gold Nanorods Mediate Tumor Cell Death by Compromising Membrane Integrity.
Light-activated therapies can be used to eradicate diseased cells and tissues in a non-invasive manner. Much attention has been focused on the emerging potential of photothermolysis (also referred to as optical hyperthermia), which involves the conversion of absorbed light into heat via nonradiative mechanisms. Photoactivated effects can be localized and intensified by employing exogenous agent...
متن کاملAnti-ganglioside antibody-induced tumor cell death by loss of membrane integrity.
Gangliosides have been involved in multiple cellular processes such as growth, differentiation and adhesion, and more recently as regulators of cell death signaling pathways. Some of these molecules can be considered as tumor-associated antigens, in particular, N-glycolyl sialic acid-containing gangliosides, which are promising candidates for cancer-targeted therapy because of their low express...
متن کاملMorphine Induces Albuminuria by Compromising Podocyte Integrity
Morphine has been reported to accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease. However, whether morphine affects slit diaphragm (SD), the major constituent of glomerular filtration barrier, is still unclear. In the present study, we examined the effect of morphine on glomerular filtration barrier in general and podocyte integrity in particular. Mice were administered either normal saline o...
متن کاملInduction of cell death in a glioblastoma line by hyperthermic therapy based on gold nanorods
BACKGROUND Metallic nanorods are promising agents for a wide range of biomedical applications. In this study, we developed an optical hyperthermia method capable of inducing in vitro death of glioblastoma cells. METHODS The procedure used was based on irradiation of gold nanorods with a continuous wave laser. This kind of nanoparticle converts absorbed light into localized heat within a short...
