[ 1 ] - The Effects of Tamoxifen in Combination with Tranilast on CXCL12- CXCR4 Axis and Invasion in Breast Cancer Cell Lines

It has been reported that CXCL12 binding to CXCR4 induces several intracellular signaling pathways, and enhances survival, proliferation, and migration of malignant cells. Herein we examined the effects of anti-estrogen tamoxifen and anti-allergic tranilast drugs as a single or in combination on invasion by two in vitro invasion assays, wound-healing and matrigel invasion on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-23...

[ 2 ] - Synthesis, and In-vitro Cytotoxicity Studies of a Series of Triazene Derivatives on Human Cancer Cell Lines

Compounds containing triazene ring structure are cytotoxic agents and clinically used as antitumor alkylating agents. In this study, a series of triazene derivatives holding alkyl and aryl moieties were synthesized and proved to be potent cytotoxic agents in-vitro particularly against eight cancer cell lines (PC3, HT29, Hela, HL60, Jurkat, K562, MCF7, HepG2) and a non-cancerous cell line (HUVEC...

[ 5 ] - مقاله مروری:بررسی مکانیسم ها و علل مرتبط با رگ زایی

رگ زایی یا آنژیوژنز، به فرآیند تشکیل عروق خونی جدید از انواع موجود گفته می شود که برای رشد و نمو طبیعی بدن اهمیت فراوانی دارد. آنژیوژنز وابسته به تعادل دقیق بین تحریک کننده ها و مهارکننده های طبیعی درون بدن است. در صورتی که این تعادل از حالت طبیعی خارج شود، شرایط برای بروز بیماری هایی همچون رگ زایی قرنیه، اندومتریوز، چاقی، آترواسکلروز، پسوریازیس و رشد و متاستاز تومورها فراهم می گردد. بطور کلی، ...

[ 6 ] - مقاله مروری : نئوواسکولاریزاسیون قرنیه

چکیده نئوواسکولاریزاسیون قرنیه (NV) بواسطه ترمیم بیش از حد زخم پس از عفونت، جراحت، یا جراحی بوقوع می‌پیوندد. نئوواسکولاریزاسیون، تشکیل ساختارهای عروقی جدید در نواحی‌ای است که قبلاً فاقد رگ بوده‌اند. دو مکانیسم همپوشان واسکولوژنز و آنژیوژنز احتمالاً در فرآیند نئوواسکولاریزاسیون درگیر هستند که نقش مکانیسم اخیر در رشد تومور و اختلالات قرنیه و شبکیه مطرح می‌باشد. در حقیقت، نئوواسکولاریزاسیون قرنیه ...

[ 7 ] - Human Coagulated Plasma as a Natural and Low Cost Matrix for in vitro Angiogenesis

Background: Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, is an important process in tissue development and wound healing, but becomes pathologic when associated with solid tumor growth, proliferative retinopathies, and rheumatoid arthritis. Accurate and reliable qualification of neovascular (angiogenic) response, both in vitro and in vivo, is an essential requirement for the study of new...

[ 8 ] - Plants as useful agents for angiogenesis and tumor growth prevention

Introduction: Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, has important physiological roles in embryonic development, female reproduction cycle, and wound healing. It is also crucial for pathological processes in several diseases especially tumor growth and metastasis. Thereby, inhibition of angiogenesis as an addition to the conventional therapies such...

[ 9 ] - فاکتور القا شونده به‌وسیله هیپوکسی: نقش آن در آنژیوژنز و سرطان

Angiogenesis, as the process of new vessel formation from pre-existing vessels is dependent on a delicate equilibrium between endogenous angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors. However, under pathological conditions, this tight regulation becomes lost which can result in the formation of the different diseases such as cancer. Angiogenesis is a complex process that includes many gene products tha...

[ 10 ] - Effect of Tribulus Terrestris L. on Expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin and Proteome Profile of Human Endothelial Cells In-Vitro

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation that interferes with blood arteries functions due to the accumulation of low density lipids and cholesterol. Objective: To investigate the effect of aqueous extract and saponin fraction of Tribulus terrestris L. (TT) on the proteome and expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascu...
