PURPOSE Cationic liposomes (CLs) are composed of phospholipid bilayers. One of the most important applications of these particles is in drug and gene delivery. However, using CLs to deliver therapeutic nucleic acids and drugs to target organs has some problems, including low transfection efficiency in vivo. The aim of this study was to develop novel CLs containing magnetite to overcome the defi...

We established a subclone, SHOK, from the GHE-L cell line, an immortal line derived from a primary culture of Syrian hamster embryo cells, as a recipient cell line useful for the detection of oncogenes by transfection. SHOK cells were almost as susceptible as NIH 3T3 cells to focus formation by many oncogenes, including v-raf, v-Ha-ras, v-Ki-ras, or activated c-Ha-ras. The susceptibility of SHO...

The expression of microRNA 198 which is localized in human chromosome 13q13.3 downregulated many malignant tumors. purpose this study to investigate the regulatory effects on non-small cell lung cancer and associated mechanism. levels lines tumor tissues were determined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. Overexpression adenocarcinomic alveolar basal epithelial cells, ...

PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that overexpression of the transcription factor E2F2 promotes cell cycle progression in nonproliferating corneal endothelial cells. METHODS Ex vivo rabbit corneas were transfected with a lipid transfection reagent and either a control plasmid containing full-length cDNA for enhanced green fluorescent protein (pIRES2-EGFP) or a plasmid containing full-length cDNA...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells intake and consume glucose at high efficiency by aerobic glycolysis to maintain robust growth resist death. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been known play pivotal roles in NSCLC development partly through mediating glycolysis. However, only a few miRNAs experimentally confirmed as critical regulators of NSCLC. TCGA datasets were analyzed screen for differential...

This study aims to observe whether Collagen Triple Helix Repeat Containing-1 (CTHRC1) can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells by regulating the activity of the Wnt/PCP signalling pathway. CTHRC1 expression in prostate cancer tissues and cells was detected by RT-PCR. PcDNA3.1-CTHRC1 and CTHRC1 siRNA was transfected into prostate cancer PC3 cells using elect...

Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury exacerbates myocardial cell death (including apoptosis and necrosis), leading to complications such as arrhythmias, stenosis, microvascular obstruction heart failure, it is particularly important seek new strategies mitigate reperfusion injury. In this paper, we will investigate whether atorvastatin can alleviate ischemia-reperfusion verify its molecul...

background: hla-g is a nonclassical hla class i molecule which, when elevated in tumor cells, is one of the main factors involved in tumor evasion of immune responses including nk and t cells. objective: to evaluate the effect of hla-g downregulation on nk cell cytotoxicity in tumor cell lines. methods: the expression level of hla-g was measured by real-time pcr and flowcytometry after transfec...

Colon cancer constitutes a major challenge all over the world, which has fourth highest incidence and third mortality rate of cancers. Although therapeutic modalities have been improved in recent years, 5 y survival remains low. Oxymatrine is one main active compounds extracted from roots Sophora flavescens was found with effect for colon Recently, microRNAs recognized as type diagnostic progno...
