we investigated the effects of 25 mg-porphyrin-fullerene nanoparticles, ( 25 mgpmc16) smart ferroporphyrin nanoparticles, on pc12 cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. in order to explore its effect on cells under oxygen-glucose deprivation conditions, the cultures were pretreated with 25 mgpmc16 24 hours prior to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. to initiate the oxygen...

objective(s) this study was carried out in order to evaluate the effects of electrochemotherapy, electrical pulses and chemotherapeutic drugs on the killing of cancerous cells and their probable synergistic effects. materials and methods electrochemotherapy treatments conducted on mcf-7 cell line derived from human breast adenocarcinoma tumor using four chemotherapeutic drugs including bleomyci...

background: the monoclonal antibody, c595, against breast cancer cell line was conjugated with cyclic anhydride gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (gd-cdtpaa) to produce gd-dtpa-c595 and used as specific breast cancer cell line (mcf-7) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri).  methods: after incubation of breast cancer cell line (mcf-7), with different contrast agents (g...

Background: The exposure of cell lines to low-dose irradiation leads to changes at molecular level, which may induce adaptive response. We examined radio-adaptive doses effect on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) and human fetal fibroblasts (MRC5) cell line followed by hyper and hypo fractionation regimes, with main purpose to decrease cell viability in HT29, and at the same time...

Herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) are members of the Herpesviridae family. About 40% to 80% of the world populations are infected with HSV and its prevalence is high in Iran. The high prevalence of this virus in the community and the ability of the virus in causing fatal diseases among immunocompromised patients, have encouraged studies to be performed on HSV and suitable cell ...

Background: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein, a member of the transferrin family.From ten known mechanisms of anti-cancer chemoperotecive compounds, Lf alone, has six of these functions and inhibits cancer. In this study, the effect of lactoferrin purified from bovine colostrum was studied as an anti-cancer agent on esophageal cancer cell line. Materials and Methods: Bovine colostrum were ...

background: ß-carbolines, harmaline and harmine, are the major alkaloids presenting in the seeds of the peganum harmala l. these alkaloids are known as herbal active principals with potential use in pharmaceutical and medicine. objectives: to assess the growth inhibitory effect of phyto-alkaloids, harmaline and harmine, on cancer cell lines. methods: the p. harmala l.’s alkaloids were extracted...
