the aim of this study was to examine the anti-inflammatory effects of co-administration of growthhormone-releasing peptide-2 (ghrp-2) and growth hormone (gh) on tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α),interleukin-6 (il-6) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos) gene expression induced by lps in the mousebrain. thirty-five male nmri mice (25±5 g) were injected through the mouse tail vein with saline,...

Cancer is one of the main causes of mortality. Therapeutic importance in some diseases, especially cancers has led to considering the anti-cancer effects of probiotics more than ever. Probiotics have stimulatory effects on the immunity and suppressor effects on cancer activity. Various studies report that probiotic bacteria have cytotoxicity effects on different types of solid tumors. In this r...

Background: Uncontrolled cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis are the main characteristics of cancer cells. Therefore, a substance with the capability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells could be known as an anti-cancer material. Probiotics are useful microorganisms that are crucial for the host’s health.Materials and Methods: In the present stu...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a lesion of the oral cavity with an unknown etiology. Several studies have been performed on the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in RAS. The main purpose of this paper was to review TNF-α level and its gene polymorphism in patients with RAS, the factors influencing the production of TNF-α, a...


 Purpose: To investigate the effect of miR-339 on neuropathic pain.
 Methods: A rat pain model was established through chronic constriction injury (CCI). Expression in spinal cord determined 14 days later. Microglial inflammatory response evaluated using immunofluorescence analysis ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1), while IL-6 and TNF-α were assessed by enzyme-linked ...

In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis on high-throughput gene expression data to identify TNF-α-mediated genes implicated in lung cancer. We first investigated the gene expression profiles of two independent TNF-α/TNFR KO murine models. The EGF receptor signaling pathway was the top pathway associated with genes mediated by TNF-α. After matching the TNF-α-mediated mouse genes to their hum...

Objective: The goal of this research was to determine the influence of 4 weeks aerobic training on gene expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In an experimental study, 30 male wistar rats were partitioned into three groups (n=10), d...
