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 کاملRole of Caspases and Reactive Oxygen Species in Rose Bengal-Induced Toxicity in Melanoma Cells
Objective We have previously shown that Rose Bengal (RB) alone, not as a photosensitiser, could induce apoptotic- and non-apoptotic cell death in different melanoma cell lines. To clarify RB-induced toxicity mechanisms, role of caspases and reactive oxygen specious (ROS) were studied in melanoma cells. Material and Methods Human melanoma cell lines, Me 4405 and Sk-Mel-28 were cultured in DM...
متن کاملEffect of Ginger on Mancozeb Fungicide-induced Histological and Histochemical Changes in Thyroid Gland of Albino Rat
Mancozeb is an ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicide. It is used in a wide range to control several of fungal diseases in field crops and fruits. Administration of mancozeb at a dose level of 1/10 LD50 3 times / week for six weeks induced marked histological and histochemical changes in thyroid gland of albino rat. The histological changes included dilation and congestion in blood vesse...
متن کاملPhotoluminescent Gold Nanoclusters in Cancer Cells: Cellular Uptake, Toxicity, and Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species
In recent years, photoluminescent gold nanoclusters have attracted considerable interest in both fundamental biomedical research and practical applications. Due to their ultrasmall size, unique molecule-like optical properties, and facile synthesis gold nanoclusters have been considered very promising photoluminescent agents for biosensing, bioimaging, and targeted therapy. Yet, interaction of ...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species Generation by Lunar Simulants
Introduction: The current interest in human exploration of the Moon and past experiences of Apollo astronauts has rekindled research into the harmful effects of Lunar dust on human health. While the mineralogical composition of lunar regolith has been well documented, other factors, such as partial melting due to space weathering, UV irradiation, and dryness may also contribute to the toxicity ...
