Silk glands (SGs) undergo massive apoptosis driven degeneration during the larval-pupal transformation. To better understand this event on molecular level, we investigated the expression of apoptosis-related genes across the developmental transition period that spans day 4 in the fifth instar Bombyx mori larvae to day 2 pupae. Increases in the expression of BmDredd (an initiator caspase homolog...

This paper reports the data from the long term time lapse imaging of neuronal cell line NG108-15 that were treated with apoptosis inducer or various ER stress inducers. Use of the fluorescent reporter for activated caspase3/7 in combination with the conventional light microscope allowed us to investigate the time course of apoptosis induction at the single cell level. Quantitative as well as qu...

The paper aimed to investigate the effects of up-regulation and down-regulation Mir-299-3p on proliferation, migration, invasion apoptosis lung adenocarcinoma cell line H1299, preliminarily explore mechanism regulating biological behavior cells. inhibitor mimics were transfected into transfection efficiency was measured by fluorescence microscopy. successfully cells detected invasion, apoptosis...

Abstract The mechanism by which the combination of fluorine and aluminum (FA) cause learning memory impairment is still unclear. Curcumin a yellow polyphenol extracted from rhizome plant curcuma longa linn, has anti-apoptotic antioxidant functions; studies have shown that PKC-NMDAR pathway plays an important role in process cell apoptosis. Based on above, we designed vitro study curcumin apopto...

conclusions it seems that the preventive effects of rutin against damages caused by ida can be attributed to its ability to reduce apoptosis, which may be mediated by underexpression of caspase3 and overexpression of bcl2 genes. also, it could increase the expression of dazl that may be important in spermatogenesis. methods in the current experimental study, balb/c mice were divided into 8 grou...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous and stress-induced germ cell apoptosis during spermatogenesis of multicellular organisms have been investigated broadly in mammals. Spermatogenetic process in urodele amphibians was essentially like that in mammals in spite of morphological differences; however, the mechanism of germ cell apoptosis in urodele amphibians remains unknown. The Chinese fire-belly newt, Cynops...

AIMS Both cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) are involved in adaptive growth and survival of cardiomyocytes. In ventricular cardiomyocytes, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), a major COX-2 product, leads to adaptive growth via Stat3 activation, but whether this transcription factor acts as a signalling molecule in PGE(2)-in...

BACKGROUND It was unclear whether chronic endometrial ischemia contributed to the pathogenesis of thin endometrium and was associated with decreased endometrial stem/progenitor cell. Thus, we explored the role of chronic endometrial ischemia in the pathogenesis of thin endometrium and its effect on endometrial stem/progenitor cells apoptosis. MATERIAL/METHODS In vitro, endometrial side popula...

Abstract Background Rotavirus (RV) is a major pathogen that causes severe gastroenteritis in infants and young animals. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress subsequent apoptosis play pivotal role virus infection. However, the protective mechanisms of intestinal damage caused by RV are poorly defined, especially molecular pathways related to enterocytes apoptosis. Thus, aim this study was investiga...
