Abstract:

Background: Endometriosis is a benign hormone-dependent disease in women of reproductive age. There is no cure for eradicating the disease and there is need for new drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effect of noscapine as inducer of cell death on endometriotic stromal cells in patient&#039;s endometriosis in vitro. Materials and Methods: Endometrial biopsies from patient&#039;s endometriosis (n=8) were digested by enzymatic method (collagenase, 2 mg/ml). Stromal cells were collected by sequential filtration through nylon meshes (70 and 40 μm) and ficoll layering. The cells were divided to five groups: control and 10, 25, 50, and 100μM concentration of noscapine, and cultured for 48 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay; and cell morphology analyzed with Acridine orange (AO)-ethidium bromide (EB) double staining, and cell death was assessed by TUNEL assay. Data was analyzed by one way ANOVA. Results: Viability of endometrial stromal cells were 94.3, 88.4, 86.7, 86.3, 76.9% in control, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μM noscapine concentration in 48 hours respectively. Cell death increased in high concentrations of noscapine and TUNEL positive cells were increased in 10, 25, 50 and 100 μM noscapine concentration (7.48, 12.56, 14.44, 16.11% respectively) compared to control group (4.46%) in 48 hours (p<0.05). Conclusion: Noscapine increased apoptotic index in endometriotic stromal cells in dose and time dependent manner. It can suggest for endometriosis treatment.

P-99: Survey of Noscapine Effect on Apoptosis of Human Endometrial Stromal Cells: An In Vitro Study

Background: Noscapine is a water soluble alkaloid with antitussive property and very less toxicity. It is obtained from the Papaveraceae family. Recently, new pharmacological properties such as anticancer, anti stroke and anti-angiogenic effects are introduced. There is no scientific report on noscapine effect on reproductive system. The aim of present study was to determine in vitro effect of ...

Opium Induces Apoptosis in Jurkat Cells

Background: The direct effect of some opioids on immune cells has been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to assess the apoptotic effect of opium on Jurkat T lymphocyte cells. Methods: Different concentrations of opium (2.86 × 10-3 to 2.86 × 10-11 g/ml) were added to 24-well plates containing 5 × 105 Jurkat cells. Apoptotic events were assessed after 6, 24, and 72 hours by flow-cytometric...

P-156: Survey of In Vitro Effect of Resveratrol on Apoptosis of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells

Background: In apoptosis is physiological cell death which eliminates injured and old cells. Any disruption in apoptosis, leads to disease. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with estrogen-like, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties; also it showed cell prolifratory and inhibitory effect. The aim of present study was to determine resveratrol effect on apoptosis of human endometrial epith...
