abstract the antineoplastic activities of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the roots, stems and leaves of isatis campylocarpa an endemic species of the brassicaceae family from iran, investigated on the growth of jurkat as an acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line, k562 as a chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line and fen as a bladder cancer cell line using colorimetric assay. results showed that...

Background: Radiation-induced bystander effect is a response which results in damage in non-irradiated cells in response to signals from the irradiated cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate microwave-induced bystander effect from a GSM mobile phone simulator on induction of apoptosis in Jurkat cell line. Materials and Methods: Jurkat cells were divided into three groups of non-...

introduction : heat shock proteins (hsps) are molecular chaperones involved in protein folding, stability and turnover, and due to their role in cancer progression, the effect of low power laser irradiation (lpli) on the expression of hsp70 and hsp90 in jurkat e6.1 t-lymphocyte leukemia (jelt) cell line was investigated in vitro. methods : jetl cells were irradiated with lpli at 635nm and 780m ...

Background: Recently, modification of T cells with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has been an attractive approach for adoptive immunotherapy of cancers. Typically, CARs contain a single-chain variable domain fragment (scFv). Most often, scfvs are derived from a monoclonal antibody of murine origin and may be a trigger for host immune system that leads to the T-cell clearance. Nanobody is a spe...

Objective(s): T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignant tumor. Administration of chemical compounds influencing apoptosis and T cell development has been discussed as promising novel therapeutic strategies. Valproic acid (VPA) as a recently emerged anti-neoplastic histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and pioglitazone (PGZ) as a high-affinity peroxisome p...

background: leukemia is a malignant proliferative disorder of the hematopoietic cells. the important role of angiogenesis in leukemia has been reported by several studies. matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are a large group of endopeptidases which degredate the extracellular matrix and play an important role in angiogenesis. objective: the present study was conducted to evaluate the patterns of ...

The reaction of ethyl benzoylacetate with formaldehyde and natural amino acid ester hydrochlorides in acetate buffer (AcONa/AcOH, pH 4.0) at room temperature afforded 41–61% new 5-benzoylhexahydropyrimidine derivatives. synthesized compounds were evaluated for their vitro cytotoxic activity against normal (HEK293) tumor cell lines (Jurkat, HepG2). T-Lymphoblastic leukemia Jurkat cells turned ou...

Background and Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine which is overexpressed in many malignant cancers including leukemia. VEGF plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Determination of the pattern of VEGF expression in human leukemic cell lines could be useful not only in screening of new antileukemic agents but also to study the mechanism of their ...
