The Effect of Iron on Malignant Lymphoblastic Cells Survival and Its Mechanism
Background and Objectives:Anemia is a common complication of chemotherapy. In order to resolve this problem, multiple red blood cell transfusions are administered, leading to iron overload. Given the confirmation of positive correlation between the increased bone marrow iron stores and adverse response to the treatment in the previous study, the effect of iron on the proliferation of acute lymp...
متن کاملEFFECT OF IRON OVERLOAD ON 7, 12-DIMETHYLBENZ (A) ANTHRACENE-INDUCED SKIN TUMORIGENESIS
Iron overload is known to occur in the West European and American population due to the consumption of iron-rich diets. On the other hand, genetic disorders leading to iron overload are also known. Iron overload leads to increased peroxidation and disruptive disintegration of lipid-rich membranes, and predisposes humans for an enhanced risk of cancer induction. In experimental animals iron ...
متن کاملAn investigation of the effect of hyperthermia using iron and magnetic nanoparticles in cancer treatment
Introduction: hyperthermia using different methods such as microwave and magnetic waves is one of the methods to treat cancer. In this method, iron and magnetic nanoparticles are used to increase the temperature and increase the effect of hyperthermia as auxiliary treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this study, the role of iron and magnetic nanoparticles have been ...

Abstract Background: Iron overload is a clinical consequence of repeated blood transfusions and causes significant organ damage, morbidity, and mortality in the absence of proper treatment. The primary targets of Iron chelators used for treating transfusional Iron overload are the prevention of Iron ingress into tissues and its intracellular scavenging. The present study was aimed at elucid...
متن کاملRole of iron in tumor cell protection from the pro-apoptotic effect of nitric oxide.
F2The host defense against tumor cells is in part based upon the production of nitric oxide (NO) by activated macrophages. However, carcinogenesis may involve mechanisms that protect tumor cells from NO-mediated apoptosis. In the present study, we have assessed the effects of exogenous NO on the proliferation and survival of human liver (AKN-1), lung (A549), skin (HaCat), and pancreatic (Capan-...
