The Present study attempts to determine the relationship between proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis in normal endometrium hyperplasia, using monoclonal antibodies against marker, Ki-67 anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 expression B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl – 2) Ki 67 cyclical proliferative secretory phase. includes Bcl endometrial hyperplasia.

The Bcl-2-family proteins have long been known for their role as key regulators of apoptosis. Overexpression various members the family is associated with oncogenesis. Its founding member, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 regulates cell death at different levels, whereby emerged a major drug target to eradicate cancers through death. This resulted in development venetoclax, antagonist that acts BH3 mimetic...

background and objectives: apoptosis of eosinophils is of significant value in assessing the airway inflammation in patients with asthma. our purpose was to investigate the degree of expression of the bcl-2 protein in sputum eosinophils during acute asthma exacerbation and its relationship with exacerbation severity.    materials and methods: the study was carried out in mostafa khomeini hospit...

Introduction: Memory impairment is one of the complications of diabetes which may accompany with changes in expression of apoptotic and antiapoptotic genes. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of intra-hippocampal injection of aminoguanidine (AG), as an antioxidant and inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, on passive avoidance memory and Bcl-2 family genes expression in diab...

Background: Bax and Bcl-2 are the major members of Bcl-2 family whose play a key role in tumor progression or inhibition of intrinsic apoptotic pathway triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic members of this family can determine the cellular fate. Methods: In this study, the relative level of mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 genes was deter...

objective(s): menopause and diabetes obviously increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in women. the aims of the present study were to evaluate the effects of ovariectomy in type 2 diabetes on the histology and expression of mirna-29, mirna-133, igf-1 and bcl-2 genes and bcl-2 protein and caspase 3 activity in the hearts of female rats. materials and methods: forty female wistar rats were d...

background: b cell cll/lymphoma 2 protein, bcl-2, is an important anti-apoptotic factor that has been implicated in lithium’s neuroprotective effect. however, most studies have focused on assessing the effects of lithium in neurons, ignoring examination of bcl-2 in astrocytes, which also influence neuronal survival and are affected in bipolar disorder. the aim of this study was to evaluate whet...

Abstract Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent malignancy with high mortality rate, necessitating markers that predict survival and guide the treatment. Previous studies have examined the immunohistochemical expression of Bcl-2, an apoptotic marker, in colorectal carcinoma, but results have been contradictory. Objectives: To evaluate the histopathological featu...
