Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies with a high mortality rate world. This study intends to make clear role and mechanism Scutellarin (Scu), flavonoid isolated from Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand.-Mazz, in regulating evolvement gastric cancer. We selected different doses Scu treat cells (MGC-803 AGS). Then, cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was conducted verify proliferation...

This study aims to explore the cytotoxic, apoptotic and autophagic effects of thymoquinone on human acute myeloid leukemia. The cytotoxic were determined with 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) tests. B-cell lymphoma 2 associated X protein (Bax), (Bcl-2), caspase 3, mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), kinase B (AKT) gene expr...

The lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. However in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. The metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative condition which has the second largest incidence rate among all other neurodegenerative disorders barring Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently there is no cure and researchers continue to probe the therapeutic prospect in cell cultures and animal models of PD. Out of several factors contributing to PD prognosis, the role of p38 MAPKs (mitog...

conclusions in conclusion, ctp-hbcag18-27-tapasin could reduce apoptosis of cd8+ t cells, increase the percentages of ifn-γ+ cd8α+ t cells, and elicit cell-mediated immunity in hla-a2 transgenic mice; these processes were associated with activation of the pi3k/akt signaling pathway. results the results showed that ctp-hbcag18-27-tapasin significantly increased the percentages of ifn-γ+ cd8α+ t ...

Phosphatidylinostitol-3-kinase (PI3K) is the potential anticancer target in the PI3K/Akt/ mTOR pathway. Here we reviewed the ATP-competitive small molecule PI3K inhibitors in the past few years, including the pan Class I PI3K inhibitors, the isoform-specific PI3K inhibitors and/or the PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitors.

1. Based on previous knowledge indicating that pan-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinease (PI3K) inhibitor treatment could suppress formation of experimental abdominal aortic aneurysms, what is the importance studying role PI3Kγ in AAAs?1A.PI3K significantly involved regular cellular functions and systemic inhibition PI3K has severe side effects.B.PI3Kγ mainly expressed infiltrated lymphocytes, which p...
