Cuscuta campestris induces apoptosis by increasing reactive oxygen species generation in human leukemic cells
Objective: Cuscuta campestris or common dodder is a holoparasitic plant that has been valorized for treatment of liver injury and cancer prevention in traditional medicine. Recently, extract of C. campestris had shown moderate antimicrobial properties and cytotoxic effects. In this study, we examined the level of cellular oxidants, cytotoxicity, apoptosis and differentiation induced by hydr...
متن کاملPyrroloquinoline-quinone: a reactive oxygen species scavenger in bacteria.
Transgenic Escherichia coli expressing pyrroloquinoline-quinone (PQQ) synthase gene from Deinococcus radiodurans showed superior survival during Rose Bengal induced oxidative stress. Such cells showed significantly low levels of protein carbonylation as compared to non-transgenic control. In vitro, PQQ reacted with reactive oxygen species with rate constants comparable to other well known antio...
متن کاملBarley grass extract causes apoptosis of cancer cells by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species production.
Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, therefore food products are being investigated for potential prevention or treatment strategies. The ingredient, barley grass extract (Hordeum vulgare L.; Bex) is used to prevent or ameliorate various types of disease. In cancer, Bex has been revealed to inhibit tumor growth. However, its effect on cancer cells is yet to be clearly defined....
متن کاملGambogic Acid Lysinate Induces Apoptosis in Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells by Increasing Reactive Oxygen Species
Gambogic acid (GA) inhibits the proliferation of various human cancer cells. However, because of its water insolubility, the antitumor efficacy of GA is limited. Objectives. To investigate the antitumor activity of gambogic acid lysinate (GAL) and its mechanism. Methods. Inhibition of cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay; intracellular ROS level was detected by staining cells with DCF...
متن کاملLow shear stress induces human vascular endothelial cell apoptosis by activating Akt signal and increasing reactive oxygen species.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of low shear stress (LSS) on apoptosis of human vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS Parallel flow chamber was used to apply LSS at 2 dyne/cm(2) on EA.hy926 cells derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells for 120 min. Cell apoptosis following LSS was verified by morphological observation, DAPI staining and ...
