induction of apoptosis and growth suppression by homeobox gene tgiflx in prostate cancer cell line lncap.
tgiflx, a homoproteins cluster member located on the x chromosome, has a critical role in male reproduction and prostate development. previous studies have shown the erratic expression of tgiflx gene in a large proportion of prostate tumors. however tgiflx function in prostate development remains unknown. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the consequences of tgiflx expression on prostat...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition and apoptosis induction of Scutellaria luteo-coerulea Bornm. & Sint. on leukemia cancer cell lines K562 and HL-60
Objective: Scutellaria (Lamiaceae) has been implicated for medicinal purposes both in modern and traditional medicine. Some species of the genus Scutellaria has extensively been studied for anticancer activity. Scutellaria luteo-coerulea (S. luteo-coerulea) is one of the Iranian species of the genus Scutellaria. Materials and Methods: In the present study, cytotoxic and apoptogenic properties o...
متن کاملInduction of cell differentiation potentiates apoptosis triggered by prior exposure to DNA-damaging drugs.
At the end of their life span, differentiated cells die by apoptosis. Subsets of cells also die, in some cell systems, shortly after exposure to differentiating agents. This suggests that early during differentiation the cells may undergo "priming," during which synthesis and/or activation and accumulation of effectors of apoptosis occurs. The objective of the present study was to test the hypo...
متن کاملOverexpression of Apaf-1 promotes apoptosis of untreated and paclitaxel- or etoposide-treated HL-60 cells.
Recent studies have demonstrated that Apaf-1 is the adaptor molecule which in the presence of cytosolic cytochrome c (cyt c) and dATP interacts with procaspase-9, resulting in the sequential cleavage and activity of caspase-9 and caspase-3, followed by apoptosis. In the present studies, we determined the effect of enforced overexpression of Apaf-1 on the apoptotic threshold in the human myeloid...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells by Ampelopsis cantoniensis crude extract.
The crude extract of Ampelopsis cantoniensis induced apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and this induction was investigated by flow cytometric analysis, DNA gel electrophoresis and poly (ADP-ribose) fluorescence staining. The results demonstrated that this extract induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The level of active caspase-3 was increased after treatment wi...
