Toxicity of xylene in lung, thymus, liver and skin has been reported [3,4]. The nephrotoxicity of xylene has not been well documented. Cortical tubular epithelial cells are a vulnerable site of organic solvents induced injuries [5-8]. Our previous studies demonstrated that mixed organic solvents containing xylene induced severe proximal tubular damages in rats [9]. However, the mechanism of xylene induced cytotoxicity of renal tubular cells remains to be unknown.

متن کاملEffect of ground black seeds (Nigella sativa L.) on renal tubular cell apoptosis induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury in the rats
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ground black seeds on renal tubular cell apoptosis following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Materials and Methods: Forty male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into 5 equal groups including Sham, I/R model and three I/R+ black seeds (5, 10 and 20%)-treated groups. I/R groups’ kidneys were subjected to 60 min of isc...
متن کاملMBD2 upregulates miR-301a-5p to induce kidney cell apoptosis during vancomycin-induced AKI
Despite DNA methylation occurred in acute kidney injury (AKI), how it influenced progression of AKI remains unclear. Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), a protein readers of methylation, was used to analyze the impact of DNA methylation on vancomycin (VAN)-induced AKI. Here, in cultured human kidney tubular epithelial cells (HK-2), we show that knockdown of MBD2 by siRNA attenuated VAN-...
متن کاملMorphine-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells: role of Bax and Bcl2
Introduction: It was reported that morphine could induce apoptosis in neurons. However, its specific mechanistic pathways remain elusive. The present study was undertaken to determine whether morphine could induce apoptosis in PC12 cells, a neuronal cell line, and the involvement of Bax and Bcl-2, as upstream factors of mitochondrial pathway. Methods: In an experimental study, the viabili...
متن کاملAn Effective Concentration of 5-Aza-CdR to Induce Cell Death and Apoptosis in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cell Line through Reactivating RASSF1A and Up-Regulation of Bax Genes
Background: Promoter hyper-methylation of tumor suppressor genes is a common event that occurs in cancer. As methylation is a reversible modification, agents capable of reversing an abnormal methylation status should help to combat cancer. 5-Aza-CdR is a DNA methyl-transferase inhibitor. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the proliferation of human pancreatic cancer ...
