bee venom induces unfolded protein response in a172 glioblastoma cell line

چکیده
background glioblastoma is a type of brain tumor with poor response to available therapies, and shows high rate of mortality. despite remarkable advancements in our knowledge about cytogenetic and pathophysiologic features of glioblastoma, current treatment strategies are mainly based on cytotoxic drugs; however, these therapeutic approaches are facing progressive failure because of the resistant nature of glioblastomas. in the recent years, however, promising results have emerged owing to targeted therapies toward molecular pathways within cancerous cells. unfolded protein response (upr) is a remarkable signaling pathway that triggers both apoptosis and survival pathways within cells, and therefore induces upr-related apoptotic pathways in cancer cells by er stress inducers. objectives recently, the role of bee venom (bv), which contains powerful bioactive peptides, in inducing upr-related apoptosis was revealed in cancer cell lines. nevertheless, currently there are no reports of bv potential ability in induction of upr apoptotic routes in glioblastoma. the aim of current study was to evaluate possible role of bee venome in inducing of upr pathway within a172 glioblastoma cell line. materials and methods we treated the a172 glioblastoma cell line with different bv doses, and assessed upr-related genes expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr). results the ic50 of bv for the studied cell line was 28 μg/ml. furthermore, we observed that bv can induce upr target genes (grp94 and gadd153) over-expression through a dose-dependent mechanism. conclusions our results suggest the potential role of bv as a therapeutic agent for glioblastomas.

Role of Oxidative Stress in Modulating Unfolded Protein Response Activity in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line
Background: Recently, it has been revealed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) act through inducing both oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. However, ER stress signaling triggers both apoptotic and survival processes within cells. Nevertheless, mechanisms by which TKIs avoid the pro-survival effects are not clear. The aim of this study was to ev...

OBJECTIVE Hyperthermia has been clinically applied to some types of brain tumors. However, the detailed mechanisms of this growth inhibition are not clear. The effect of mild hyperthermia on cultured human glioblastoma cell line, A172, was studied. METHODS A172 cells were heat treated (43-44.5 degrees C) for 1 hour in the growing phase. Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion...
