Viscum album L. Extracts Protects HeLa Cells against Nuclear and Mitochondrial DNA Damage
Viscum album L. is a semiparasitic plant grown on trees and widely used for the treatment of many diseases in traditional and complementary therapy. It is well known that some activities of Viscum album extracts are varied depending on the host trees, such as antioxidant, apoptosis-inducing, anticancer activities of the plant. The aim of the present study is to examine the comparative effects o...
متن کاملMitochondrial Telomerase Protects Cancer Cells from Nuclear DNA Damage and Apoptosis
Most cancer cells express high levels of telomerase and proliferate indefinitely. In addition to its telomere maintenance function, telomerase also has a pro-survival function resulting in an increased resistance against DNA damage and decreased apoptosis induction. However, the molecular mechanisms for this protective function remain elusive and it is unclear whether it is connected to telomer...
متن کاملPreparation of Nuclear Extracts from HeLa cells.
HeLa cells are the archetypal tissue culture cell line for the preparation of mammalian cell-free systems. These cells, derived from a cervical carcinoma, have been maintained in culture since the late 1940s. They grow with a doubling time of ∼24 h and can be cultured in medium containing fetal bovine serum (optimal serum for growth) or medium containing horse serum (in which they grow more slo...
متن کاملNuclear and mitochondrial genome responses in HeLa cells treated with inhibitors of mitochondrial DNA expression.
The influence of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) on the bioenergetic metabolism of the cell is still poorly understood. Many of the mutations in the mtDNA affect the expression of the mitochondrial genome. Investigations on cells from patients are not easy, especially as the mitochondrial DNA is heteroplasmic and this state is changed in culture. Moreover, the nuclear background and ...
متن کاملHydroxytyrosol Protects against Oxidative DNA Damage in Human Breast Cells
Over recent years, several studies have related olive oil ingestion to a low incidence of several diseases, including breast cancer. Hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol are two of the major phenols present in virgin olive oils. Despite the fact that they have been linked to cancer prevention, there is no evidence that clarifies their effect in human breast tumor and non-tumor cells. In the present work,...
