Short Communication MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN HUMAN FIBROBLAST LINES INDUCED BY ANTHRACYCLINES DURING APOPTOSIS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that treating human trisomic fibroblasts with anthracyclines – aclarubicin, daunorubicin and idarubicin – leads to certain changes in these cells; namely the activation of caspase 3, morphological changes and an increase in the level of intracellular calcium. These results suggest that anthracycline drugs are also able to induce apoptosis in pathological, trisomic cells.

متن کاملFasting and apoptosis: a mini review
Fasting, that is usually described as abstinence from all food and drink for a period of time, has been experienced for ages. Health, protest, religious expressions of devotion and purification are the most important reasons for fasting. Many changes occur in the body during fasting including metabolic, mineral, hormonal, immunological and psychological. Its use as one of the oldest therapies a...
متن کاملBiochemical and morphological changes in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells induced by treatment of rats with p-Nonylphenol
Objective(s):In previous investigations, we have shown para-nonylphenol (p-NP) caused significant reduction of proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. In this study, we first treat the rats with p-NP, then carried out the biochemical and morphological studies on MSCs. Materials and Methods: Proliferation property of cells was evaluated with t...
متن کاملMyosin IIA-related Actomyosin Contractility Mediates Oxidative Stress-induced Neuronal Apoptosis
Oxidative stress-induced neuronal apoptosis plays an important role in the progression of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. In our study, when neuronal cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an exogenous oxidant, cell apoptosis was observed with typical morphological changes including membrane blebbing, neurite retraction and cell contraction. The actomyosin system is considered t...
متن کاملEffect of crocin, an active saffron constituent, on ethanol toxicity in the rat: histopathological and biochemical studies
Objective(s): The drinking of ethanol causes the wide range of clinical illness and morphological changes including hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. In the current study, the protective properties of crocin versus oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation induced by ethanol were assessed. Materials and Methods: The male Wistar rats ...
