The Dual Role Played by p21 May Influence the Apoptotic or Anti-Apoptotic Fate in Cancer
p21 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that is activated in response to different stress stimuli and could act as cell cycle suppressor. p21 can bind and inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin complexes to mediate growth arrest in G1 and G2 phases. This condition enables DNA repair and suggests that p21 could have a role of tumour suppressor. p21 is one of the transcriptional targets of p53...
متن کاملTeam Contests with Multiple Pairwise Battles∗
We study a contest between two teams. The teams include an equal number of players. Each player of a team participates in a component battle, competing against a matched rival from the other team. A team wins if and only if its players prevail in a suffi ciently large number of component battles. The winning team is awarded a prize, which is a public good for all its players. In addition, a pla...
متن کاملUsnic acid improves memory impairment after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injuries by anti-neuroinflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties
Objective(s): Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion causes complex pathological mechanisms that lead to brain tissue damage. Usnic acid is a lichen secondary metabolite that has many different biological properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of usnic acid ...
متن کاملAutoimmunity fought in the cortex
In the best-case scenario, self-attacking T cells are ousted before they have a chance to leave the thymus. That essential process, which eliminates autoreactive thymocytes from the get-go, is known to occur in the thymic medulla. Now, on page 2575, McCaughtry et al. provide solid evidence that this elimination also occurs in the thymic cortex. Although immunologists have reported T cell deleti...
متن کاملCrocin exerts improving effects on indomethacin-induced small intestinal ulcer by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms
Crocin is a plant-derived carotenoid and bears potent antioxidant property. Ranitidine (a histamine H2 receptor blocker) is used for peptic ulcer treatment. The present study was planned to investigate the effects of crocin and ranitidine on indomethacin-induced ulcer in small intestine of rats. Animals were randomized into two major groups including indo-methacin (10.00 mg kg-1...
