Objective(s): Glioblastoma is the most lethal tumor of the central nervous system. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous delivery of p53 and a nanoformulation of curcumin called dendrosomal curcumin (DNC), alone and in combination, on glioblastoma tumor cells. Materials and Methods: MTT assay was exploited to measure the viability of U87-MG cells against DNC treatment. Cells were ...

the p63 gene, a member of the p53 gene family, is expressed into at least six protein isoforms.the transcription factor p63 is a homologue of the tumor suppressor p53. unlike p53, which is dispensable for normal development, p63 is critical for the development of stratified epithelial tissues such as epidermis, breast, and prostate. p63, , is transcribed from two different promoters giving rise...

The tumor suppressor p53 plays an essential role in cellular adaptation to stress. In response to ionizing radiation, p53 regulates the transcription of genes in a diverse set of pathways including DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Previously, we identified by microarray analysis a set of genes that are transcriptionally activated or repressed in response to radiation exposure. In t...

The present study sought to evaluate the effect of resveratrol supplementation on mRNA expression levels peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), p53, p21, p16, and serum cluster differentiation 163 (CD163) TNF-like weak inducer apoptosis (TWEAK) ratio in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, 71 were randomly assigned receive either 1,...

Backgrounds and Aims: P53 gene is regarded important in pathogenesis of different cancers. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the frequency of p53 gene codon 72 Arg/Pro polymorphism in women suffering from breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 90 patients with breast cancer and 83 matched healthy control women participated in this case-control study. Genomic DNA was extrac...

Mangrove plants produce polyisoprenoid alcohol. The consists of polyprenol and dolichol, which in pharmacological activity act as anticancer agents. major compound mangrove Ceriops tagal Rhizophora mucronata was reported dolichol. present study conducted to examine the effects dolichol from C. R. leaves on WiDr cells cell cycle-related cancer for 24 h evaluate regulation five genes, p53, EGFR, ...
