Evidence has suggested that salidroside inhibits the proliferation and invasion of renal clear cell, lung, breast, and colon cancer. However, effect of salidroside on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells against oxaliplatin (L‑OHP) resistance remains unclear. In the present study, the CRC HT‑29 cell line and L‑OHP resistance HT‑29/L‑OHP cell line were used to evaluate the effect, and mechanism of sali...

The Tn antigen, which arises from mutation in the Cosmc gene is one of the most common tumor associated carbohydrate antigens. Cosmc resides in X24 encoded by a single gene and functions as a specific molecular chaperone for T-synthase. While the Tn antigen cannot be detected in normal cells, Cosmc mutations inactivate T-synthase and consequently result in Tn antigen expression within certain c...

Background and objectives: Natural products are one of the major sources for investigations of novel medicines. Zataria multiflora Boiss (ZM) has shown pharmacological activities especially in gastrointestinal tract; however, there are limited studies about its cytotoxicity effects. In this study, the effect of Zataria multiflora was examined on two colon canc...

The treatment of cancer depends on the activity cytochrome P450 enzyme family, which is essentially carried out by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes. aim our study was to investigate whether polymorphism could contribute protein their influence response cells treatment. variability cDNA profiles between cell lines parental HT-29 resistant HT-29-OxR adenocarcinoma detected using denaturing gradient gel ...

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxic effects of local probiotic bacteria, including Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus brevis, while isolated from “Tarkhine” food and the induction of apoptosis in the HT–29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line and normal fibroblasts. Methods: HT–29 and L–929 cell lines were trea...
