Pathophysiological Significance of Hepatic Apoptosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apoptosis is a classical pathological feature in liver diseases caused by various etiological factors such as drugs, viruses, alcohol, and cholestasis. Hepatic apoptosis and its deleterious effects exacerbate liver function as well as involvement in fibrosis/cirrhosis and carcinogenesis. An imbalance between apoptotic and antiapoptotic capabilities is a prominent characteristic of liver injury. The regulation of apoptosis and antiapoptosis can be a pivotal step in the treatment of liver diseases.

Is sub-chronic exercise in Combination with medicinal nanoparticles a protective strategy against Doxorubicin-induced Hepatic oxidative stress and apoptosis in aging model rats?
Objective(s): Oxidative stress and apoptosis are the major side effects of doxorubicin (DOX) and the advantages accruing fromexercise and some medicinal herbs in mitigation of these toxic side effects is well documented. But so far, the effects of exercise in combination with medicinal nanoparticles on oxidative stress and apoptosis signaling simultaneously, in liver tissue are unknown. Hence, ...
متن کاملSesterin as a biomolecule
Sestrins (Sesns), highly conserved stress-inducing metabolic proteins, are known to protect organisms against various harmful stimuli including DNA damage, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and hypoxia. Sestrins regulate metabolism mainly through activation of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Sestrins also play a pivotal role...
متن کاملBcl-2 Expression Alters the Mitochondrial Tri Carboxyl Acid Pathway in Hepatic Ischemic and Reperfusion Induced Necrosis and Apoptosis in Rat Liver
Ischemic and reperfusion injury leads to necrosis and apoptosis. Mitochondrial enzymes and antiapoptotic gene plays an important role in necrosis and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Bcl-2 expression in alternations in mitochondrial energy regulation during hepatic ischemia and reperfusion and role in necrosis and apoptosis. Total 12 Wistar rats were divided into ...
متن کاملPhysiology and pathophysiology of apoptosis in epithelial cells of the liver, pancreas, and intestine.
Cell death of gastrointestinal epithelial cells occurs by a process referred to as apoptosis. In this review, we succinctly define apoptosis and summarize the role of apoptosis in the physiology and pathophysiology of epithelial cells in the liver, pancreas, and small and large intestine. The physiological mediators regulating apoptosis in gastrointestinal epithelial cells, when known, are disc...
متن کاملSilica nanoparticles induce liver fibrosis via TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway in ICR mice
The liver is one of the target organs of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) but the toxic mechanism on the liver still remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the hepatic toxicity and its mechanism through repeated intravenous exposure to SiO2 NPs in ICR mice. Results indicated that SiO2 NPs could be distributed in hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and hepatic stellate cells, and induce hepatic dys...
