[ 1 ] - Association of rs12108497 (Caspase 3 Gene) Polymorphism in Gastric Cancer Patients in Sari

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cause of malignancy death in the world, which also has a high prevalence in Iran. Caspase 3 gene is considered one of the major genes related to gastric cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between rs12108497 polymorphism of Caspase 3 gene. Due to the fundamental role of caspases, we have considered an SNP of Caspase 3 (common ...

[ 2 ] - Investigating the Distribution of ERCC2 (rs13181) Gene Polymorphism in Gastric Cancer Patients in Mazandaran: A Case-control Study

Background and objectives: Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers of the gastrointestinal tract in the world, which also has a high prevalence in Iran. ERCC2 gene is considered one of the major genes related to gastric cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between rs13181 polymorphism of ERCC2 gene. The polymorphism in the promoter region of ERCC2 gene can af...

[ 3 ] - بررسی پلی مورفیسم ژن NQO1 در آدنوکارسینوم معده دراستان مازندران، شمال ایران

Background and purpose: Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer worldwide and despite huge advances in treatments, the chance of survival is very low even in surgery cases. Having a genetic predisposition plays an important role in cancer development. Polymorphisms in the NQO1(NAD(P)H Quinone dehydrogenase 1) gene could affect the activity of the gene and also the susceptibilit...

[ 4 ] - Evaluation of a modified salt-out method for DNA extraction from whole blood lymphocytes: A simple and economical method for gene polymorphism

Extraction of high-quality and-quantity DNA is a fundamental requirement for genetic research. It is very important to address the use of DNA extraction methods that are simple and cost-effective in gene polymorphism with large number of samples. This study was designed to investigate the optimal DNA extraction from lymphocytic cells by salt-out method. In this study, 200 blood samples of the t...

[ 5 ] - Doxorubicin and Doxorubicin-loaded Nanoliposome Triggers Hepatocyte Cells Senescence through Accumulation of Inflammatory Factors and Activation of P53

Background and purpose: Induction of cellular senescence is indicative of new strategy to prevent abnormal proliferation of cancer cells. Doxorubicin (DOX) is gaining attention for its neoplasia suppressive and inhibitory properties, but its clinical utility is limited due to irreversible effects on non-target cells/tissues. In this way, nanoliposomal structures were developed in drug delivery ...

[ 6 ] - Protective Effect of Epicatechin on Survival of PC12 Neurons Exposed to Valproic Acid

 Background and purpose: It is well established that valproic acid (VPA) is teratogenic associated with oxidative stress in humans and in all animal species tested. In this study, considering the chemical composition of catechins, we investigated its protective effect on the survival of PC12 nerve cells exposed to valproic acid. Materials and methods: The protective effects of epicatechin (EC)...

[ 7 ] - Effects of Copper Nanoparticles in Prostate Normal and Cancer Cell Lines

 Background and purpose: In clinical treatment of cancer, improving the efficacy of drugs and targeted drug delivery have always been a fundamental problem requiring more focused solutions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of copper nanoparticles in prostate normal and cancer cell lines. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, different concentrati...
