Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive and incurable subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin (NHL) with median overall survival 5–7 years. Lenalidomide an immunomodulatory agent, clinical activity in relapsed or refractory (R/R) MCL patients. Among other effects, lenalidomide known to enhance the formation immunological synapses between lytic T/natural killer (NK) cells. The small G...

  Background and Objective: Garlic has been known worldwide as a dietary constituent with many pharmacological effects. The present in vitro study was designed to investigate the putative anticancer effect of garlic extract on cancer cells, and if this effect was through apoptosis induction. Material and Methods:  Human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT29 were treated with different doses (1, 5 a...

objective: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and vegf receptors (vegfrs) play important roles in angiogenesis of different developmental mechanisms such as wound healing, embryogenesis and diseases, including different types of cancer. vegfr2 is associated with cell proliferation, migration, and vascular permeability of endothelial cells. blocking vegf and its receptors is suggested as ...

Abstract Ras proteins play a causal role in human cancer by activating multiple pathways that promote growth and invasion. However, little is known about how induces the first diagnostic features of invasion solid tumors, including loss epithelial integrity breaching basement membrane (BM). In this study, we found oncogenic strongly promotes activation hepsin, member hepsin/TMPRSS type II trans...

mesenchymal stem cells (mscs),as the major stem cells for cell therapy, have been studied from different aspects in pre-clinical and clinical settings for more than a decade. these cells modulate the immune system (humoral and cellular immune responses) in vitro by producing soluble factors (anti-inflammatory molecules) and/or making cell-cell contacts. hence they could be used in regenerative ...

Significance Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reactivation is a major cause of posttransplant morbidity/mortality. One approach toward reducing this purging the transplant donor and/or recipient latently infected cells prior to stem-cell or organ harvest/engraftment. Our findings show involvement host bromodomain (BRD) proteins in regulation HCMV latency and reactivation. Bromodomain extra-terminal...

exosomes, as a mediator of cell-to-cell transfer of genetic information, act an important role in intercommunication between tumor cells and their niche including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes and monocytes. several studies have shown that tumor cells can influence their neighboring cells by releasing exosomes. these exosomes provide signaling cues for stimulation, activation, prol...

Background: Low uptake of exogenous DNA by sperm and reduced number of fertilized oocyte by transfected sperm are the major obstacles for progression of sperm mediated gene transfer. Therefore, the modification of sperm mediated gene transfer procedure needs to be required. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of FuGene 6 compare to lipofection in transfection medium for int...
