Heterofucan from Sargassum filipendula Induces Apoptosis in HeLa Cells
Fucan is a term used to denominate a family of sulfated polysaccharides rich in sulfated l-fucose. Heterofucan SF-1.5v was extracted from the brown seaweed Sargassum filipendula by proteolytic digestion followed by sequential acetone precipitation. This fucan showed antiproliferative activity on Hela cells and induced apoptosis. However, SF-1.5v was not able to activate caspases. Moreover, SF-1...
متن کاملOpium Induces Apoptosis in Jurkat Cells
Background: The direct effect of some opioids on immune cells has been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to assess the apoptotic effect of opium on Jurkat T lymphocyte cells. Methods: Different concentrations of opium (2.86 × 10-3 to 2.86 × 10-11 g/ml) were added to 24-well plates containing 5 × 105 Jurkat cells. Apoptotic events were assessed after 6, 24, and 72 hours by flow-cytometric...
متن کاملHydrogen peroxide induces apoptosis in HeLa cells through mitochondrial pathway.
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer amongst females in India and is associated with high risk HPVs, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and excessive inflammation in most cases. ROS in turn affects the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. The objective of the present study was to elucidate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on apoptotic signaling molecules in vitro. HeLa cel...
متن کاملPyrogallol as a glutathione depletor induces apoptosis in HeLa cells.
Pyrogallol, a polyphenol, is known to be a superoxide anion (O2(.-)) generator. We investigated the involvement of glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pyrogallol-induced HeLa cell death. We measured the changes of ROS levels, GSH levels, sub-G1 cells, annexin V/PI staining cells and mitochondria membrane potential (DeltaPsi m) in HeLa cells treated with pyrogallol and/or ROS ...
متن کاملAchillea vermicularis a medicinal plant from Iranian Traditional Medicine induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cells
Background and objectives: Achillea is an ancient medicinal herb. The genus comprises about 100 species which are mostly distributed in northern hemisphere and some have been investigated for different biological activities. There are also several reports in Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) texts about its anti-tumor effect. The cytotoxic activity of the methanol extract of Achil...
