[ 1 ] - The Effect of Dracocephalum kotschyi Alcoholic Extract on the BCL2 and BAX expression in SKBR3 Cell Line

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women in the worldwide and the outbreak in Iranian women is growing. Iranian patients with breast cancer are younger than their Western counterparts. Dracocephalum kotschyi is a wild-growing flowering plant belonging to the family Labiatae and found in Iran. This plant has been applied in Iran folk medicine. The aim of this study ...

[ 2 ] - Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi alcoholic extracts affect BCL2 expression and HepG2 cell proliferation

Background: Liver cancer is the second outstanding reason for cancer-related death global and thus a main public health challenge. Plant-based drugs are regarded as promising therapies. Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi extracts have shown therapeutic impacts on various cancers. Therefore, we assessed the effects of the extract of Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi on cell proliferation and BCL2 e...

[ 3 ] - Effect of Foretinib on Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) Expression in Glioblastoma

Background: The most malignant form of infiltrating astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is one of the most aggressive human cancers. Foretinib diminished GBM cell invasion by downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). The study aimed to examine the anti-tumor activity of foretinib and to test its effect on MMP2 expression in T98 cells. Materials and methods: T9...

[ 4 ] - Down-regulation of miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult human leukemia. Studies revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in CLL and that the expression of miRNAs, such as miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p change in several diseases. We aimed to elucidate the changes in miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p expression in CLL and determine their potential as...

[ 5 ] - Altered Expression of Circulating miR-377 and miR-98 in Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Background and Aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been assumed to be a complex and indecipherable disease, and poorly understood with regard to etiology which is characterized by relapses and remissions. The expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is known to be associated with the regulation of immune responses. Recently, investigations have reported that miRNA expression profiles in blood cells becom...

[ 6 ] - Expression of miR-485-3p and its Target FOXD3 in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Background and Aims: Previous investigations have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and that the expression of miRNAs, such as miR-485-3p changes in several illnesses. This study was designed to determine the expression level of miR-485-3p and its target FOXD3 in CLL patients and controls to identify if this miR...
