Opium 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 کاملElevated testosterone induces apoptosis in neuronal cells.
Testosterone plays a crucial role in neuronal function, but elevated concentrations can have deleterious effects. Here we show that supraphysiological levels of testosterone (micromolar range) initiate the apoptotic cascade. We used three criteria, annexin V labeling, caspase activity, and DNA fragmentation, to determine that apoptotic pathways were activated by testosterone. Micromolar, but no...

متن کاملOchratoxin A induces JNK activation and apoptosis in MDCK-C7 cells at nanomolar concentrations.
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a ubiquitous fungal metabolite with nephritogenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic action. Epidemiological studies indicate that OTA may be involved in the pathogenesis of different forms of human nephropathies. Previously we have shown that OTA activates extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2, members of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) family, in the C7...
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...
