The p53 inhibitor pifithrin-α can stimulate fibrosis in a rat model of ischemic acute kidney injury.
Inhibition of the tumor suppressor p53 diminishes tubular cell apoptosis and protects renal function in animal models of acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, targeting p53 has become an attractive therapeutic strategy in the approach to AKI. Although the acute protective effects of p53 inhibition in AKI have been examined, there is still relatively little known regarding the impact of acute p5...
متن کاملP82: Anxiolytics Effect of α-Galycoceramide: As Novel Inhibitor of Glucocorticoid in Social Isolated Rats
α-Galycoceramide (α-Galcer) or the common name of krn7000 is an α-gelasphin derivative. The α-Galcer structure consists of a galactose combined with a ceramide in an α-configuration. Social isolation (SI) has been linked with enhanced inflammation, through modifications in transcriptional pathways linked with glucocorticoid, to stress. Our hypothesis is to investigate mediatory role of glucocor...
متن کاملPifithrin-μ, an Inhibitor of Heat-Shock Protein 70, Can Increase the Antitumor Effects of Hyperthermia Against Human Prostate Cancer Cells
Hyperthermia (HT) improves the efficacy of anti-cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, HT also inevitably evokes stress responses and increases the expression of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) in cancer cells. Among the HSPs, HSP70 is known as a pro-survival protein. In this study, we investigated the sensitizing effect of pifithrin (PFT)-μ, a small molecule inhibitor of HSP70, when three h...
متن کاملThe gene for the rat heat-shock cognate, hsc70, can suppress oncogene-mediated transformation.
In cells transformed by mutant mouse p53 plus ras, the former protein is found to be complexed with the heat-shock protein cognate hsc70. To determine whether hsc70 can directly affect neoplastic transformation, nonestablished rat embryo fibroblasts (REF) were transfected with rat genomic hsc70 DNA in conjunction with various oncogenes. We report here that the hsc70 gene could efficiently suppr...
متن کاملThe p53 Inhibitor Pifithrin- Is a Potent Agonist of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is currently a target of emerging drug therapies directed toward neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and side effects associated with cancer treatments. Of this group of drugs, the best characterized is pifithrin, a small molecule that inhibits p53-dependent apoptosis through an undetermined mechanism. In this study, we have used a n...
