Modulating the radiation response.
نویسنده
چکیده
This review describes some current and future approaches designed to modulate the response of tumors and normal tissues to cell killing by ionizing radiation. The emerging knowledge of tumor, cellular and molecular biology is providing a better understanding of the clinical results with the hypoxic cell sensitizers and novel approaches to radiation sensitization and protection.

Modulating effects of melatonin, vitamin C and saffron alone or in combination on radiation induced cell lethality; an in vitro study with Hela cells
Introduction: Radiation countermeasures are defined as use of an agent to minimize the deleterious effects of radiation therapy by administering the compound after the radiation exposure has occurred, regardless of toxicity. In spite of extensive study in this field, yet there is no suitable radioprotector introduced. In this study two naturally occurring antioxidants were stu...
متن کاملRole of Oxidative Stress in Modulating Unfolded Protein Response Activity in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line
Background: Recently, it has been revealed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) act through inducing both oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. However, ER stress signaling triggers both apoptotic and survival processes within cells. Nevertheless, mechanisms by which TKIs avoid the pro-survival effects are not clear. The aim of this study was to ev...

Objective(s): Th2 response is related to the aetiology of asthma, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. To address this point, the effect of nebulized inhalation of inactivated Mycobacterium phlei on modulation of asthmatic airway inflammation was investigated. Materials and Methods: 24 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: control group (Group A), asthma model group (G...
متن کاملThe effect of Melatonin pretreatment on growth responses and enhancement of the enzymatic antioxidant system in Chlorella vulgaris under stress of ionizing radiation
Melatonin as a compound made by photosynthetic organizers protects them against many environmental stresses. Modulating mechanisms of melatonin, as a protector are not well known in early eukaryotes, such as algae. In this research, the effect of melatonin pre-treatment on evaluating Chlorella vulgaris resistance to gamma ionizing radiation was investigated. The results showed that 100 µM conce...
