The photocatalytic and plasmonic photothermal cancer cell-killing activity of the metallic Au-capped TiO(2) (Au@TiO(2)) composite colloidal nanopellets has been investigated on HeLa cells under UV-visible (350-600 nm) light irradiation. The Au@TiO(2) composite nanopellets with the uniform Au-capped TiO(2) structure were successfully synthesized by simple reduction of HAuCl(4) on the surface of ...
Approximately 30% of cancer deaths result from the failure to control local and regional tumors. The goal of radiotherapy is to maximize local and regional tumor cell killing while minimizing normal tissue destruction. Attempts to enhance radiation-mediated tumor cell killing using halogenated pyrimidines, antimetabolites, and other DNA-damaging agents or sensitizers of hypoxic tumor cells have...
Onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) causes both necrotic and apoptotic cell death in cultured hepatocytes. Salicylate lowers the threshold for onset of the MPT. In this study, our aim was to determine whether nontoxic concentrations of salicylate potentiate MPT-mediated cell killing. In necrotic killing models to rat hepatocytes, salicylate (1 mM) enhanced calcium ionophore...
Increased glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (Trx) metabolism are mechanisms that are widely implicated in resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy. The current study determined if simultaneous inhibition of GSH and Trx metabolism enhanced cell killing of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells by a mechanism involving oxidative stress. Inhibition of GSH and Trx metabolism wi...
Islet cell killing mediated by natural killer cells and T-lymphocytes in diabetes-prone (DP) and diabetic BB rats has been described, but other killing mechanisms may also be involved. Histopathologic studies suggest that macrophages are the first immune cells to infiltrate islets. To determine if macrophages are the first cells mediating islet damage, macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity was evalu...
Human natural killer (NK) cells in peripheral blood spontaneously recognize and kill a wide variety of target cells. It has been suggested that ion channels are involved in the killing process because there is a Ca-dependent stage and because killings by presensitized cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which in many respects resembles NK killing, is associated with changes in K and Na transport in the ta...
The present study aimed to determine the cellular toxicity and anticancer characteristics of six species of Cyan bacteria living in Geno hot spring on cervical cancer cell lines. For this purpose, the cyto toxicity of methanol extracts from Geno hot spring Cyanobacteria including Leptolyngbya tenuis, Chroococcus minutes, Gloeocapsarupestris, Oscillatoria articulate, Chroococcus namiculata and S...
Background: The innate immune system against malignancies is mainly orchestrated by natural killer cells, which carry out killing mechanisms by using their receptors, such as killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs). This study was designed to determine the diversity of KIR genes in non-melanoma skin cancers. Methods: A total of 160 subjects with skin cancer, including 60 cases of squamous c...
The experiments leading to the discovery of MHC-restricted T-cell killing of virus-infected cells are described. The implications of MHC- and HLA-restricted T-cell killing for the development of new vaccines and for the understanding of autoimmune disease are discussed.
The limited efficacy of vaccines in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), due to the low frequency of tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), indicates the importance of innate immune surveillance, which assists acquired immunity by directly recognizing and eliminating HCC. Innate Vγ9Vδ2 T cells have major histocompatibility complex-unrestricted antitumor activity and are activated by phos...
