background: regarding the strong differentiation and anti-leukemic activity of dendrostellera lessertii extract, an active agent with similar capabilities was isolated from the crude extract of the plant leaves. the aim of this study was to determine whether the anti-proliferative effect observed for this compound, is differentiation-dependent among the drug-treated cells, using u937 cells. met...

To explore the effect and mechanism of Danggui Buxue decoction on high glucose-induced apoptotic oxidative injury in human retinal vascular endothelial cells. Human cells were treated with glucose to mimic diabetic retinopathy condition vitro. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay flow cytometry used investigate cell viability apoptosis. Western blot was ap...

background apoptosis is a physiological mechanism of cell death and it can be triggered by a variety of internal and external stimuli. it has been indicated that some opium derivatives develop cell apoptosis. objectives the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of opium addiction on ovary cell apoptosis in diabetic and non-diabetic wistar rats. materials and methods this experime...

celecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) developed as a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis disease. recently some other mechanisms have been identified for anti cancer activity of these agents including induction of apoptosis, inhibition of tumor vascularization, stimulation of antitumor immune responses and inhibition of...

objective(s): the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of chloride channel protein 2 (clc-2) in glutamate-induced apoptosis in the retinal ganglion cell line (rgc-5). materials and methods: rgc-5 cells were treated with 1 mm glutamate for 24 hr. the expression of clc-2, bax, and bcl-2 was detected by western blot analysis. cell survival and apoptosis were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethy...

results a significant decrease in apoptotic cells and increase in proliferative reaction were observed in the i/r + hbo group compared to the i/r group. conclusions we demonstrated that hbo suppressed apoptosis, which caused inflammation after renal i/r, and promoted tubular cell regeneration. hbo has protective effects against aki caused by renal i/r through the inhibition of apoptosis. materi...

Aims: The biosynthesis of nanoparticles is widely considered today. The aim of this investigation was the biosynthesis and coating of Ag.NPs with Zataria multiflora (Zm-Ag.NPs) leaf extract and assess its apoptosis promoting effects. Methods: The Zm-Ag.NPs was characterized by UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopy, TEM, EDS, DLS and measurement of zeta-potential. Apoptosis induction effects of Zm-A...

Objective: Anticancer activities of Schiff bases S1 and S2 against MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells were performed described using an in vitro evaluation employing cytotoxicity apoptosis assay. Methods: used MTT assay to examine the effect compound on cell viability (S1 S2). Cell morphologies IC50 values obtained. The acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) dual staining technique was determin...
