Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is when gastric mucosa gets injured due to the increase of acid and pepsin enzyme. The common risk factors are infection Helicobacter pylori bacteria misused NSAIDs. This review article aims describe role caspase in PUD. Methods used selection articles PubMed. Caspase a protease enzyme that plays an apoptotic inflammatory reaction can be activated dimerized or cleaved...

During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...

Introduction Thyroid cancer is a malignant disease with poor prognosis. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 (CDK4) pathways are vital regulators of tumor cell proliferation and survival. Therefore the present study was designed to use dual inhibition of such pathways to kill thyroid cancer cells. Methods and materials The effects of each inhibitors on human ATC and...

caspase-3, one of the dominant effectors caspases, is activated in almost every model of apoptosis with various signaling pathways. hence, inhibition of caspase-3 has become an attractive target in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. caspase-3 inhibitory activities of some 1,2-benzisothiazol-3-one derivatives were modeled by quantitative structure–activity relationship (qsar) using ste...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate the incidence of apoptosis in vitrified and non-vitrified human ovarian tissue by the use of morphological analysis and apoptosis assay techniques. methods: we obtained human ovarian tissue biopsies from 30 women who underwent elective caesarean sections. tissues were transported to the laboratory in pre-warmed, equilibrated leibovitz l-15 medium within 2...
