Methanol stimulates the colony-formation rate in a human hepatoma cell line (HLE).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of methanol on colony-formation of human hepatoma cells were investigated. Among five human hepatoma cell lines (Hep G2, HLE, HuH-6, HuH-7, and PLC/PRF/5), only HLE cells showed enhanced colony formation due to methanol. The effective concentrations of methanol were around 1%. The enhancement occurred in a greater degree when the cells were seeded in the culture medium containing methanol than when methanol was added 24h after the cells were seeded. Methanol itself, however, did not enhance the cell proliferation.

Background: We aimed at evaluating the toxicity effects of low (subtoxic) concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNP, 5-10 nm) in human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cell line after and during a period of about one month. Methods: XTT and MTT assays were used to draw a dose-response curve IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) value of the AgNP on HepG2 cells was calculated to be 2.75-3.0 mg/l...

Background: Radiotherapy is an established therapeutic modality for prostate cancer. Resveratrol, a natural antioxidant, has been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis and to block the process of tumor initiation and progression. No data is available on the response of cellular spheroid to Reseveratol. In this study we have examined the effect of Resveratol on the radiation response of human p...
