Tumor Suppressor p53 Can Protect Normal Cells Against Dendrosomal Curcumin-Induced Apoptosis
Curcumin is a natural substance with anti-cancerous properties without many disadvantages of currently-used anticancer drugs. Its toxicity is significantly higher in tumor cells compared with normal cells. We hypothesized the difference of p53 function between normal and tumor cells as one of the presumable causes of this phenomenon. We knocked down the expression of p53 in normal fibrobl...
متن کاملRapamycin increases the p53/MDM2 protein ratio and p53-dependent apoptosis by translational inhibition of mdm2 in cancer cells.
Rapamycin, a potential anti-cancer agent, modulates activity of various factors functioning in translation, including eIF4E, an initiation factor selectively regulating expression of a subset of cellular transcripts. We show here that rapamycin suppresses levels of the p53-regulator MDM2 by translational inhibition without affecting mdm2 mRNA expression or protein stability. Rapamycin inhibits ...

متن کاملAssociation of Tissue Selenium Level and p53 Expression in Breast Cancer
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, which alone accounts for 30% of all new cancer cases in women. The development of cancer is a multistep process. The complex series of cellular and molecular changes participating in cancer development are mediated by a diversity of stimuli such as Oxidative stress that is known to cause DNA damag...
