Objective(s): This study was designed to indicate whether different fractions from Artemisia biennis hydroethanolic extract could provide cytoprotection against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by doxorubicin (DOX) in rat pheochromocytoma cell line (PC12). Material and Methods:Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Also, activation of caspase-3 and superoxide dismutase were evaluated...

Background: Quercetin has been reported to modulate cell proliferation and apoptosis. The present study aimed at identifying whether treatment of ionizing radiation (IR) combined with quercetin induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells were plated at an appropriate density according to each experimental scale and irradiated with 1, 5 and 10 Gy gamma-rays from a 60Co s...

primula auriculata (tootia) is one of the most important local medicinal plants in hamedan district, iran. to investigate cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction of crude methanolic extract and different fraction of it we compared several methods on ht-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. cancer cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4, 5‑dimethylthiazolyl)-2, 5‑diphenyl‑tetrazolium bromide (mtt) a...

To explore the effect and mechanism of Danggui Buxue decoction on high glucose-induced apoptotic oxidative injury in human retinal vascular endothelial cells. Human cells were treated with glucose to mimic diabetic retinopathy condition vitro. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay flow cytometry used investigate cell viability apoptosis. Western blot was ap...

Introduction: Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease affecting older individuals with signs of motor disability and cognitive impairment. Epicatechin (EC) and edaravone have neuroprotective effects most probably due to their antioxidant activity; however, a limited number of studies have considered their role in PD. This research aimed at investigating the ne...

delayed neuronal death after seizure attack may be mediated by the induction of apoptosis-pathway. caspase-3, a mammalian cysteine protease, promotes apoptosis after some neurological disorders. neuron regeneration peptides (nrps) are small synthetic peptides that stimulate neural proliferation, migration, and differentiation with no apparent toxicity and high target specificity in cns. in the ...

Background: Activated normal platelets undergo many biochemical and morphological changes, some of which are apoptotic. Platelet derived microparticles and shrinked platelets as hallmark of platelet activation and apoptosis disperse surfaces containing procoagulant activity around injured vessels and tissues. This study was conducted to determine microparticles formation and platelet shrinkage ...

Abstract Background Streptococcus anginosus ( S. ) was reported increased in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissue. The aim of this study to investigate the response cancer cells biological characteristics evoked by and its potential mechanisms. Methods growth curve concentration standard were determined, a series concentrations supernatant applied OSCC lines SCC15, then selected an optima...

The therapeutic effect of combined drugs on cervical cancer has been confirmed. Whether antiprogrammed cell death protein 1 antibody with paclitaxel mediates the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B pathway to regulate still needs further research. 20 nude mice received subcutaneous administration Henrietta Lacks cells establish model which was then assigned into blank control group, grou...
