Background: Mutation of p53 is a frequent event, and mutant exhibits low levels acetylation phosphorylation. This study aimed to investigate the effect histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR), on phosphorylation carcinoma cells its therapeutic effects in xenograft model. Methods: To determine 4HR p53, western blot analysis was performed using YD-9 YD-15 cells. siRNA used e...

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, primarily due to its high metastatic propensity and therapeutic resistance in advanced stages. The frequent inactivation p53 tumour suppressor protein melanomagenesis may predict promising outcomes for activators melanoma therapy. Herein, we aimed investigate antitumor potential p53-activating agent SLMP53-2 against melanoma. Two- three-dimensional...

The p53 protein function is essential for the maintenance of the nontumorigenic cell phenotype. Pancreatic tumor cells show a very high frequency of p53 mutation. To determine if restoration of wild type p53 function can be used to eliminate the tumorigenic phenotype in these cells, pancreatic tumor cell lines, PANC-1 and HTB80, differing in p53 status were stably transfected with exogenous wil...

Glutathione transferase (GST) activity and GST isoenzyme composition have been determined for 24 human neoplasms and 6 human tumor cell lines. Substantial activity (40-1010 milliunits/mg protein) was identified in all tumor specimens examined and three of the tumor cell lines. Three tumor cell lines, the human small cell carcinoma line SW2-10S, the Burkitt's lymphoma derived cell line Raji, and...

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme activity, GST isoenzyme composition and glutathione (GSH) concentration were assessed in normal and squamous cell carcinoma specimens of 14 patients with oral or oropharyngeal cancer and 11 patients with laryngeal cancer. Comparing malignant with normal oral/oropharyngeal tissues, no significant differences in GSH content, GST enzyme activity or isoenzyme ...

OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress may be an important pathogenic mechanism in the obesity and metabolic syndrome. The aims of this study was to assess the possible association between the oxidative stress related Glutathione S-Transferase genes (GST-M1, GST-T1, and GST-P1) variants and the olanzapine-induced weight gain in Korean schizophrenic patients. METHODS We categorized 78 schizophrenic patien...

High-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) and its domain 3 (D3) exhibit anticoagulant properties and inhibit platelet activation at low thrombin concentration in vitro. We hypothesized that the rapid occlusive thrombosis in HK-deficient (HKd) rats following endothelial injury of the aorta results from enhanced platelet aggregation by thrombin. The effects of D3 (G235-M357) or D3-derived peptides on ...

background: normal tissue toxicity continues to remain as a major challenge for radiation oncologists for delivering the total dose to the tumour cells in cancer patients. cellular, molecular and plasma based early biomarkers to predict the overreactions and non-overreactions of normal tissue toxicity before the initiation of radiotherapy can be valuable for personalised treatment. the aim of t...
