[ 1 ] - Dendrosomal Nanocurcumin Induces Changes in the Expression Levels of Heat Shock Proteins in the AGS Cell Line: Cellular Tolerance or Smart Apoptosis Induction
Objectives:The expression levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs) are elevated in many cancers, and this overexpression is often associated with both a poor survival and a therapeutic outcome. Curcumin is an anti-cancer agent that also induces a heat shock response. HSPs confer resistance to curcumin-induced apoptosis in cancerous cells. The aim of the current study was to analyze variations in th...
[ 2 ] - Tumor Suppressor p53 Can Protect Normal Cells Against Dendrosomal Curcumin-Induced Apoptosis
Curcumin is a natural substance with anti-cancerous properties without many disadvantages of currently-used anticancer drugs. Its toxicity is significantly higher in tumor cells compared with normal cells. We hypothesized the difference of p53 function between normal and tumor cells as one of the presumable causes of this phenomenon. We knocked down the expression of p53 in normal fibrobl...
[ 3 ] - IN SILICO INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF LYCOPENE ON THE EXPRESSION OF BRCA1 AND BRCA2 INHIBITOR GENES IN PROSTATE CANCER
Background & Aims: Cancer is a genetic disease that results from mutations in genes that control cell activities. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancers in men. Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy are used to treat this disease. These treatments have numerous side effects after treatment, including impotence along with the high cost of treatment. In...
