Effect of thimerosal, methylmercury, and mercuric chloride in Jurkat T Cell Line
Mercury is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that causes a wide range of adverse health effects in humans. Three forms of mercury exist: elemental, inorganic and organic. Each of them has its own profile of toxicity. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of thimerosal, a topical antiseptic and preservative in vaccines routinely given to children, methyl mercury, and mercuri...
متن کاملOverexpression of MicroRNA-506 in Jurkat (acute T Cell Leukemia) Cell Line
Background & Objective: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant disease that arises from various mutations in B or T-lymphoid progenitors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by binding to the 3' untranslated region of protein-coding genes. Dysregulation of miRNA expression m...
متن کاملEffects of methylmercury and mercuric chloride on differentiation and cell viability in PC12 cells.
The effects of methylmercury (CH3Hg) or mercuric chloride (HgCl(2)) on neurite outgrowth and cell viability were quantified using undifferentiated (unprimed) and differentiated (primed) pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. In unprimed cells, following 24-h exposure, CH3Hg significantly decreased NGF-stimulated neurite outgrowth at concentrations of 0.3-3 microM. However, HgCl(2) significantly increas...
متن کاملMir-55 inhibition can reduce cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in Jurkat (Acute T cell Leukemia) cell line
Background MicroRNAs are small and non-coding RNA molecules with approximately 22 nt in length that cause inhibition of translation or degradation of mRNA. MiR-155 is a kind of molecule with different functions, such as its role in proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, differentiation, and immunity. One of its best known functions is apoptosis that affects on caspase-3 activity. The main aim...
متن کاملUmbelliprenin from Ferula szowitsiana Activates both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pathways of Apoptosis in Jurkat T-CLL Cell Line
Umbelliprenin is a prenylated compound, which belongs to the class of sesquiterpene coumarins. It is extracted from dried roots of Ferula szwitsiana collected from the mountains of Golestan forest (Golestan Province, north of Iran). Induction of apoptosis in Jurkat T-CLL cells has been previously shown. In this study, effect of umbelliprenin on proapoptotic caspases (caspase-8 and -9) and antia...
