Profiles of MMP-2 Expression in Jurkat, Molt-4 and U937 Cells
Background: Leukemia is a malignant proliferative disorder of the hematopoietic cells. The important role of angiogenesis in leukemia has been reported by several studies. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large group of endopeptidases which degredate the extracellular matrix and play an important role in angiogenesis. Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the patterns of ...
متن کاملMechanism of thiazolidinedione-dependent cell death in Jurkat T cells.
Thiazolidinediones are synthetic agonists for the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and are therapeutically used as insulin sensitizers. Besides therapeutical benefits, potential side effects such as the induction of cell death by thiazolidinediones deserve consideration. Although PPARgamma-dependent and -independent cell death in response to thia...
متن کاملEffects of valproic acid and pioglitazone on cell cycle progression and proliferation of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia Jurkat cells
Objective(s): T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignant tumor. Administration of chemical compounds influencing apoptosis and T cell development has been discussed as promising novel therapeutic strategies. Valproic acid (VPA) as a recently emerged anti-neoplastic histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and pioglitazone (PGZ) as a high-affinity peroxisome p...
متن کاملMir-55 inhibition can reduce cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in Jurkat (Acute T cell Leukemia) cell line
Background MicroRNAs are small and non-coding RNA molecules with approximately 22 nt in length that cause inhibition of translation or degradation of mRNA. MiR-155 is a kind of molecule with different functions, such as its role in proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, differentiation, and immunity. One of its best known functions is apoptosis that affects on caspase-3 activity. The main aim...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of Interferon-γ in Human Leukemic T Cell Lines Following Treatment with Phytoheamagglutinin, phorbol myristate acetate and Lipopolysaccharide
Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...
