Here, we investigated the potential mechanism of capsaicin-mediated apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. Capsaicin treatment phosphorylated c-jun-NH2-kinase (JNK); forkhead box transcription factor, class O (FOXO1); and BIM in BxPC-3, AsPC-1, and L3.6PL cells. The expression of BIM increased in response to capsaicin treatment. Capsaicin treatment caused cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP, indicati...

BACKGROUND It is well established that caspase-1 exerts its biological activities through its downstream targets such as IL-1β, IL-18, and Sirt-1. The microarray datasets derived from various caspase-1 knockout tissues indicated that caspase-1 can significantly impact the transcriptome. However, it is not known whether all the effects exerted by caspase-1 on transcriptome are mediated only by i...

INTRODUCTION There is evidence that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) exert beneficial effects to improve type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its complications remain poorly understood. Hypoadiponectinemia is one of the important mechanisms responsible for T2DM which necessitates developing novel therapeutic strategies. We aimed to determine the effect of n-3 PUFA supplementation on ...

Aim: To evaluate the effects of Astaxanthin (ATX), known for its antioxidant properties, on kidneys rats given radiation by biochemical measuring total oxidant level (TOS), (TAS), immunohistochemically Cas3 (Cysteine Aspartate Specific ProteASEs), TNF-α (Tumor necrosis factor-alpha), and molecularly P53, SIRT (Sirtuin -1) pathways.
 
 Materials Methods: The were divided into 4 groups ...

In MANET, routing plays a vital role in packet interaction and data transmission. It is always easy to manage the transmission over MANET because of uncentralized control on nodes. Since efficient route controls packets does not simplify between source destination. Hence maintenance becomes crucial process. Methods: critical enhance decrease attacker sustain successful transfers via Network. ot...

Aging is one of the most fundamental biological processes. It results in a decline in physiological function and an increased risk for pernicious diseases such as cancer. Oxidative stress has been proposed as a major cause of aging, but experimental tests of this hypothesis have been discouraging. Calorie restriction (CR) prevents age-related decline, but there are still gaps in our knowledge o...

BACKGROUND High mortality rate of critically-ill patients could be induced by sepsis and septic shock, which is the extremely life threatening. The purpose of this work is to identify and evaluate the potential regulatory mechanism of LPS-induced inflammation associated with miR-6835 and lipid rafts in HUVECs. METHODS The 3' UTR luciferase activity of AdipoR1 was detected, which was predicted...

A new algorithm for computing electron microscopy tomograms which combines iterative methods with dual-axis geometry is presented. Initial modelling using test data shows several improvements over both the weighted back-projection (WBP) and Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (SIRT) method, and, with increased stability and tomogram fidelity under high-noise conditions.

Aging is associated with an increased incidence and prevalence of renal glomerular diseases. Sirtuin (Sirt) 6, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent histone deacetylase, has been shown to protect against multiple age-associated phenotypes; however it is unknown whether Sirt6 has a direct pathophysiologic role in the kidney. In the present study, we demonstrate that Sirt6 is expres...
