[ 1 ] - Celecoxib Up Regulates the Expression of Drug Efflux Transporter ABCG2 in Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Elevated expression of the drug efflux transporter ABCG2 seems to correlate with multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Specific COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib has been shown to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer drugs. To clarify whether ABCG2 inhibition is involved in the sensitizing effect of celecoxib, we investigated whether the expression of ABCG2 in breast cancer cell lines ...

[ 3 ] - القاء بیان مداوم سیکلواکسیژناز-2 در رده سلولی سرطان سینه از طریق ترانسفکشن آن ها با پلاسمید pSG5-COX-2

Background and purpose: One of the major problems in chemotherapy is resistance to anti-cancer drugs. Recent studies have demonstrated a relationship between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and progression of multidrug resistance (MDR). One of the proteins involved in drug resistance is ABCG2 (ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2) that is often overexpressed in patients with cancer. T...

[ 4 ] - The effects of crocetin, extracted from saffron, in chemotherapy against the incidence of multiple drug resistance phenotype

Objective(s): Crocetin, one of the main substances of saffron extract, has anti-cancer effects. Drug resistance proteins (e.g. MRP1 and MRP2) are important reasons for the failure of cancer therapy. We intended to investigate the efficacy of crocetin on MRP1 and MRP2 activity in human ovarian cisplatin-resistant carcinoma cell line (A2780-RCIS).Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic effect of cro...

[ 5 ] - بررسی آثار استئوژنز داروی هومیوپاتی سیمفیتوم بر سلول‌‌های بنیادی مزانشیمی

مقدمه بازسازی استخوان یک پروسه فیزیولوژیک بسیار منظم است که طی درمان طبیعی در شرایط نرمال رخ می‌‌دهد. اما گاه در شرایط سخت بالینی ناکارآمد عمل می‌کند. یکی از راهکارهای درمانی استفاده از روش‌های سلول درمانی با استفاده از سلول‌های بنیادی و عوامل القا کننده تمایز به استخوان است. در این مطالعه اثر داروی هومیوپاتی سیمفیتوم بر القای تمایز سلول بنیادی مزانشیمی به استئوبلاست مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. مواد...

[ 6 ] - Topical green tea formulation with anti-hemorrhagic and antibacterial effects

Objective(s): Potentially preventable death from uncontrolled hemorrhage clearly indicates the importance of simple, fast and efficient ways to achieving hemostasis. The aim of this study was to develop a topical formulation of green tea extract for reducing bleeding that can be helpful in hemorrhage control.Materials and Methods: Hydroa...

[ 7 ] - Evaluation the interaction of ABC multidrug transporter MDR1 with thymoquinone: substrate or inhibitor?

Objective(s): Thymoquinone (TQ) has valuable medical properties like anticancer effects. Development of multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is one of the most important factors in failure of cancer chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mode of interaction of TQ and MDR1, a major MDR-related protein in gastric cancer drug resistant EPG85-257RDB cells,...
