nucleostemin (ns), a stem cell-abundant nucleolar protein, is critical for maintaining the self-renewal and proliferative properties of normal and cancerous stem cells. recent data suggests that ns signaling is important for proliferation of t-cells and leukemia cells. this study was conducted to verify the role of ns in pathogenesis and treatment of t-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (t-all). o...

Proper physiological function of mammalian airways requires the differentiation basal stem cells into secretory or multiciliated cells, among others. In addition, self-renewal ability these is crucial for developing a quick response to toxic agents in order re-establish epithelial barrier airways. Although missions are vital, little known about those mechanism controlling airway regeneration he...

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity appears to be a growing concern for extensive use in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The new combination treatment strategies, therefore might be an effective way of decreasing its side effects as well as improving efficacy. AMG232 (KRT-232) is a potential MDM-2 inhibitor, increasing available p53 through disturbing p53-MDM-2 interaction....

The tumor suppressor p53 is inactivated by mutation in about half of all tumors, making mutant a prime target for cancer therapy. Missense mutations R248W, R273H and R248Q are included the five most frequent total lead to more than 630 000 new diagnosed cases diseases world every year. These mutations, located at or near protein-DNA interface, inactivation loss direct p53-DNA interactions, caus...

Bachgroun: Hematopoietic stem cell derived from umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been used for regenerative medicine in hematological abnormalities. MicroRNAs are important regulators of gene expression that control both physiological and pathological processes such as development of tissue and cancer. Some studies have shown that miR-33, has a critical role in control of self-renewal cells. He...

Abstract A poptosis r elated protein in T GF-? s ignaling pathway (ARTS) was originally discovered cells undergoing apoptosis response to TGF-?, but ARTS also acts downstream of many other apoptotic stimuli. induces by antagonizing the anti-apoptotic proteins XIAP and Bcl-2. Here we identified pro-apoptotic Sept4/ARTS gene as a p53-responsive target gene. Ectopic p53 variety p53-inducing agents...

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the lung cancer. It is known that COX-2 negatively regulates the activity of a number of tumor suppressors, including p53. Consequently, inhibition of COX-2 signaling is anticipated to be a promising approach to stabilize p53 functionality. In this regard, we investigated the effect of COX-2 signaling blockade on p53 and COX-2 e...

Background & Aims: The role of P53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) genes in inflamed and non-inflamed odontogenic cysts is related to cell proliferation but it is unclear. The aim of this study was immunohistochemical evaluation of P53 and PCNA expression in inflamed and non-inflamed dentigerous cysts Methods: In the present study, 23 dentigerous cysts (12 inflamed and 11 non-infl...

Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is a highly distressing side effect of cancer therapy, and taxanes like paclitaxel (PTX) cause severe often permanent CIA. Yet, strategies that selectively protect healthy cells, but not remain elusive. Here, we turned to ALRN-6924, new clinical-stage MDM2/MDMX dual inhibitor activates p53 upregulate p21 thus transiently arrests cell cycle in p53-wild-type p5...
