To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of vitexicarpin on biological behavior colorectal cancer cells is objective study. The human epithelial cell line Caco-2 were divided into control group, low, middle high dose groups vitexicarpin, plasmid cloning DNA-circ_0000419 DNA anti-microRNA-224 anti-microRNA-224-negative vitexicarpin+small interfering-circ_0000419 group vitexicarpin+micro...

new approach of breast cancer therapy is developed toward combination therapy with agent that have a specific molecular target. our previous study showed that citrus aurantifolia lime peels ethanolic extract (cpe) increased the sensitivity of mcf-7 cells againts doxorubicin. this study aims to observe the mechanism of combination cpe and doxorubicin in cell cycle modulation and apoptosis on mcf...

Purpose: To determine the potential effect of Chikusetsu saponin IVA (CS-IVA) on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as well mechanism action.
 Methods: Benign epithelial cell response to treatment by CS-IVA was evaluated 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), colony formation assay, and cycle analysis. Flow cytometry immunoblot assay were used assess apoptosis...

Primula auriculata (Tootia) is one of the most important local medicinal plants in Hamedan district, Iran. To investigate cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction of crude methanolic extract and different fraction of it we compared several methods on HT-29 human colon Adenocarcinoma cells. Cancer cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4, 5‑dimethylthiazolyl)-2, 5‑diphenyl‑tetrazolium bromide (MTT) a...

objective(s): juglone is isolated from many species of the juglandaceae family and used as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor therapeutic. here, we evaluated juglone-induced antitumor effect in ovarian cancer skov3 cells. materials and methods: mtt assay was performed to examine juglone anti-proliferative effect. cell cycle and apoptosis were studied using flow cytometry in juglone-tr...

background: nigella sativa has been a nutritional flavoring factor and natural treatment for many ailments for so many years in medical science. earlier studies have been reported that thymoquinone (tq), an active compound of its seed, contains anticancer properties. previous studies have shown that tq induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells but it is unclear the role of p53 in the apoptotic p...

The objective of this study was to observe the apoptosis-inducing effect and mechanism of baicalin on human cervical cancer HeLa cells. The inhibitory effect of baicalin on the growth of HeLa cells was measured by MTT assay, and cell proliferation and migration was analyzed by cell scratch assay. Morphological changes of apoptotic cells were viewed by the light microscope and electron microscop...

Recognition of the molecular mechanisms of cAMP action against DNA damage-induced apoptosis can be useful to improve the efficacy of DNA damaging therapeutic agents. Considering the critical role of bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD) and p53 proteins in DNA damage -induced apoptosis, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of cAMP-elevating agents on these proteins in doxorubicin-trea...
