Parthenolide sensitizes ultraviolet (UV)-B-induced apoptosis via protein kinase C-dependent pathways.
Parthenolide (PN) is the principal sesquiterpene lactone in feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) with proven anti-inflammatory properties. We have previously reported that PN possesses strong anticancer activity in ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin cancer in SKH-1 hairless mice. In order to further understand the mechanism(s) involved in the anticancer activity of PN, we investigated the role of prot...
متن کاملEffects of lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock on rat isolated kidney, possible role of nitric oxide and protein kinase C pathways
Objective(s): Pathophysiology of sepsis-associated renal failure (one of the most common cause of death in intensive care units) had not been fully determined. The effect of nitric oxide and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways in isolated kidney of Lipopolysaccharide-treated (LPS) rats were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: Vascular responsiveness to phenylephrine and acetylcholine...
متن کاملInhibition of Cartilage Acidic Protein 1 Reduces Ultraviolet B Irradiation Induced-Apoptosis through P38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase and Jun Amino-Terminal Kinase Pathways.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation can easily induce apoptosis in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) and further lead to various eye diseases including cataract. Here for the first time, we investigated the role of cartilage acidic protein 1 (CRTAC1) gene in UVB irradiation induced-apoptosis in HLECs. METHODS Three groups of HLECs were employed including model group, empty vecto...
متن کاملProtein kinase C sensitizes olfactory adenylate cyclase
Effects of neurotransmitters on cAMP-mediated signal transduction in frog olfactory receptor cells (ORCs) were studied using in situ spike recordings and radioimmunoassays. Carbachol, applied to the mucosal side of olfactory epithelium, amplified the electrical response of ORCs to cAMP-generating odorants, but did not affect unstimulated cells. A similar augmentation of odorant response was obs...
متن کاملAldosterone nongenomically worsens ischemia via protein kinase C-dependent pathways in hypoperfused canine hearts.
Rapid nongenomic actions of aldosterone independent of mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) on vascular tone are divergent. Until now, the rapid nongenomic actions of aldosterone on vascular tone of coronary artery and cardiac function in the in vivo ischemic hearts were not still fully estimated. Furthermore, although aldosterone can modulate protein kinase C (PKC) activity, there is no clear con...
