Pro-Apoptotic Effect of Rice Bran Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) on HT-29 Colorectal Cancer Cells
Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), or phytic acid is a natural dietary ingredient and has been described as a "natural cancer fighter", being an essential component of nutritional diets. The marked anti-cancer effect of IP6 has resulted in our quest for an understanding of its mechanism of action. In particular, our data provided strong evidence for the induction of apoptotic cell death, which may b...
متن کاملAllosteric Sensitization of Pro-Apoptotic BAX
BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX) is a critical apoptotic regulator that can be transformed from a cytosolic monomer into a lethal mitochondrial oligomer, yet drug strategies to modulate it are underdeveloped due to longstanding difficulties in conducting screens on this aggregation-prone protein. Here, we overcame prior challenges and performed an NMR-based fragment screen of full-length human ...
متن کاملExpression of the Pro-apoptotic Protein Bax is Reduced in Bronchial Mucous Cells of Asthmatics
The present studies were designed to determine whether our findings in mice showing that the Bcl-2-associated protein X (Bax) plays a role in the resolution of allergen-induced mucous cell metaplasia can be applied to asthma in humans. Immunostaining of autopsy tissues from mild and severe asthmatics showed a significant reduction in the percentage of Bax-positive mucous cells compared to those...
متن کاملBAX pro-apoptotic gene alterations in repeated pregnancy loss
INTRODUCTION Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a critical medical problem in about 0.5-2% of women. The molecular genetic background for spontaneous abortion is being increasingly understood, and some polymorphisms associated with it have been reported. This study investigates alterations of the Bax gene as a pro-apoptotic gene in women with idiopathic RPL. MATERIAL AND METHODS The frequency ...
متن کاملIn vitro pro apoptotic effect of crude saponin from Ophiocoma erinaceus against cervical cancer
Ophiocoma erinaceus Muller &Troschel (Ophiocomidae) is part of the extensive group of echinoderm that contains bioactive metabolites. As, the anti cancer potential of brittle star saponin has not been reported against cervical cancer, the present study was conducted to evaluate the anticancer effect of extracted crude saponin. Saponin extraction was conducted using conventional method such as f...
