conclusions w. coagulans inhibits the development of bph can be useful for the treatment of this condition. results the present study revealed that bph caused elevation of mda levels, suppression of tac levels, and increased pcna expression in the prostate gland. interestingly, in a dose-dependent manner, wce caused decreased mda levels and increased tac levels in the prostate gland, compared t...

Background: E-cadherin is a trans-membrane glycoprotein that plays a critical role in many aspects of cell adhesion as well as establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity. Loss of the adhesive function of E-cadherin seems to promote invasive and metastatic properties of neoplastic cells. Objectives: The present study is a retrospective study aiming to evaluate the loss of E-cadher...

background: proliferating cell nuclear antigen (pcna) is a nuclear protein synthesized in the late g1 and s-phase of the cell cycle. detection of this protein represents a useful marker of the proliferation status of lesions. this study has been carried out to evaluate the cell proliferation rate in oral lichen planus (olp) and comparison between plaque and erosive lichen planus, which indicate...

AIM To evaluate the use of proliferating cell nuclear antigen index in the different histopathological variants of ameloblastoma, such as the follicular, plexiform, and unicystic types, and in ameloblastic carcinoma by immunohistochemical staining. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen index values of the variants of ameloblastomas and ameloblastic carcinomas are compared in order to determine...

We have used antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotides to define the role played by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in neointimal accumulation of smooth muscle cells in a rat carotid artery injury model. The short-term extraluminal delivery of 250 nmol of antisense oligonucleotides, but not control oligonucleotides, immediately after arterial injury produces a 77% suppression of PCN...
