The new anti-cancer and water-soluble curcumin derivatives have been synthesized solvent-freely by functionalizing the phenolic group of with various NH compounds to increase water solubility cancerous properties. biological applications drugs investigated against highly potent HepG2 carcinoma cell line. studies showed that could be used in low concentrations (µM/l<1) avoid anti-apoptoti...

To investigate the expression of MT1F gene in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue and the growth suppression effect of exogenous introduction of MT1F gene on liver cell line HepG2 and to explore the potential application of MT1F gene in gene therapy of tumor. Eukaryotic expression vector of pCMV-MT1F plasmid was introduced into HepG2 line which expressed no MT1F protein originally with lipofectamin...

Hepatocellular carcinoma and glioblastoma are both very aggressive forms of human neoplasms. The most effective treatment includes the combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Sodium butyrate (NaB) demonstrates a high efficiency and low toxicity. It inhibits proliferation and cell cycle of the cancer cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on Hep...

Objective(s):  Protective effects of different extracts and essential oil from Pimpinella anisum           L. seeds were examined against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced toxicity. The parameters such as serum transaminases, lactate dehydrogenase activity, hepatic glutathione content, liver lipid peroxidation and histopathological changes of liver were assessed as toxicity markers. In the in...

Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province is a most important endemism states of flora of Iran with a considerable plant species diversity in the country. In the present study the cytotoxic activity of 13 plant species grown in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari have been evaluated on prostate (PC-3), breast (MCF-7), liver (HepG2), ovary (CHO) and melanoma (B16-F10) cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity and apop...

background: heme oxygenase-1 (ho-1) is a cytoprotective and antiapoptotic enzyme, which has been involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis, and plays an important protective role by modulating oxidative injury. up-regulation of (ho-1) has contributed to tumorogenicity of some cancers. in this study we investigated the expression pattern of the ho-1, in five different human-derived cancer cel...
