P-169: Protective Effect of Vitamin E on Cypermethrin - Induced Damages Correlates with P53 Gene Expression and Nitrosative Stress
Background: Because of fast rate of degradation and low mammalian cells toxicity the cypermethrin (CPM) is a wide used insecticide in domestic agriculture and in veterinary medicine applications. The compound exerts its pathological impact by down-regulating the antioxidant status. Therefore, current study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of vitamin E on CPMinduced apoptosis and n...
متن کاملThe Effect of Herpes Simplex Virus Virion Host Shutoff Gene- a New Suicide Gene- on Tumor Cells
Background: The herpes simplex virus (HSV) UL41 gene product, virion host shutoff (Vhs) protein, mediates the rapid degradation of both viral and cellular mRNA. This ability suggests that Vhs protein can be used as a suicide gene in cancer gene therapy applications. The recent reports have shown that the degradation of cellular mRNA during herpes simplex infection is selective. RNA containing A...
متن کاملمهار بیان ژن GFP به وسیله تداخل RNA (RNAi) در دودمان سلولی کارسینومای جنینی P19
Introduction: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon of gene silencing that uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), specifically inhibits gene expression by degrading mRNA efficiently. The mediators of degradation are 21- to 23-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNA). The use of siRNAs as inhibitors of gene expression has been shown to be an effective way of studying gene function in mammalian cells. Ai...
متن کاملPhenol Based RNA Isolation is the Optimum Method for Study of Gene Expression in Human Urinary Sediment
Evaluation of gene expression in urinary sediment has been considered as a promising non-invasive approach for biomarker identification of kidney diseases. Nonetheless, there are several challenges in extraction of RNA from this valuable source of biomarkers, mostly because of the factors that have influence on quality of isolated RNA such as low cellular content. Accordingly, we compared the q...

Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is the mechanism of gene silencing-mediated messenger RNA degradation by small interference RNA (siRNA), which becomes a powerful tool for in vivo research, especially in the areas of cancer. In this research, the potential use of an expression vector as a specific siRNA producing tool for silencing of Bcr-abl in K562 cell line has been investigated. Methods:...
متن کاملTRIzol-based RNA Extraction: A Reliable Method for Gene Expression Studies
RNA extraction is a prerequisite technique for gene expression studies, analyzing the etiology and disease progression, treatment effects, as well as designing the diagnostic methods. Although many RNA extraction kits have been commercialized, but these kits are expensive and are not accessible in some countries. Many studies have shown that TRIzol is an applicable material for the RNA extracti...
