Objective: Irinotecan is a botanical derivative and an anti-cancer drug with cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. The present study evaluated the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum A7 on the genotoxic activity of irinotecan in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) by comet assay. Materials and Methods: HepG2 were incubated with irinotecan (100 µM), heat-killed cells (0.025 µg/ml) + irinotecan...

Paclitaxel-resistant HepG2 (PR-HepG2) cells were established by long-term exposure of HepG2 cells to paclitaxel and expression and function of efflux (P-glycoprotein, MRP2) and influx (OATP1B3) transporters for paclitaxel were examined to understand the mechanisms underlying the resistance. mRNA expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) increased in PR-HepG2 more than in HepG2 cells, while that of MR...

Nano-silver (AgNP) has biological properties which are significant for consumer products, food technology, textiles and medical applications (e.g. wound care products, implantable medical devices, in diagnosis, drug delivery, and imaging). For their antibacterial activity, silver nanoparticles are largely used in various commercially available products. Thus, the use of nano-silver is becoming ...

Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cyclin G1 is a novel member cyclin family, and it abnormally expressed HCC. In this study we investigated radiotherapy HCC cells. The expression was silenced by transfection G1-siRNA into HepG2 cells Huh7 cells, mRNA protein measured qRT-PCR Western blot analysis. proliferation analyzed using MTT assay, rad...

AIMS The aim was develop stable human cell line stable over-expressing transcription co-activator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) with restored hepatospecific functions and increased expression of major xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. METHODS Six clones of HepG2-PGC-1α and one control clone HepG2-pcDNA3 were isolated and analyzed for secretion of hep...
