Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women in the worldwide and the outbreak in Iranian women is growing. Iranian patients with breast cancer are younger than their Western counterparts. Dracocephalum kotschyi is a wild-growing flowering plant belonging to the family Labiatae and found in Iran. This plant has been applied in Iran folk medicine. The aim of this study ...

The Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training and Consumption Curcumin Nano Micelles on the Expression Level CASP3, CASP9, Bax BCL2 Genes Cardiac Tissues Balb/C Mice with Induced Breast Cancer Treated Doxorubicin

Bax is considered one of major effectors of apoptosis--programmed cell death. Immunohistochemical analysis of in vitro patterns of bax expression was mostly investigated in mammalian cell lines and tissues. The present study is the first in vivo molecular analysis of bax expression in oral cavity pathologies. The study population consisted of 45 patients with hyperplasia, neoplasm in situ malig...

BACKGROUND Bax expression is a prerequisite for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis. Experimental studies have reported Bax protein upregulation following optic nerve transection. The stimuli that trigger apoptosis share a common executioner proteolysis cascade, including caspase-3 and poly-(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase cleavage. This study sought to elucidate the role of the mito...

Abstract The powdery mildew fungi secrete numerous Candidate Secreted Effector Proteins (CSEPs) to manipulate host immunity during infection of plants. However, the function most these CSEPs in cell death suppression has not yet been established. Here, we identified several from Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei ( Bgh ) that have potential suppress BAX- and Nt MEK2 DD -triggered Nicotiana bentham...

pancreatic carcinoma is currently considered as a rapidly progressive and fatal disease, and is typically diagnosed late in its natural course. it is characterized by a poor diagnosis and lack of response to conventional therapy. recent studies have suggested that disulfiram (dsf), a member of the dithiocarbamate family, may have antitumor activity. this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro eff...

BACKGROUND In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), in vivo apoptotic resistance of malignant B lymphocytes results, in part, from the intrinsic defects of their apoptotic machinery. These include genetic alterations and aberrant expression of many apoptosis regulators, among which the Bcl2 family members play a central role. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the association of pro-a...

Background: The SALL4/Sall4 is constitutively expressed in human and mice. SALL4 mRNA could be used as a marker for the diagnosis of different types of cancers. On the other hand, chrysin has diverse biological properties. Objectives: In the present study, the effect of the chrysin was investigated on the CT26 colon cancer in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the expression levels of the stem cel...

Background and Aims: Cadmium is an important environmental pollutant and a potent toxicant to organisms. However, the toxicity of Cadmium and its influences on stomach is still unclear. We examined the effects of intraperitoneal injection of Cadmium on mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes in rat stomach. Materials and Methods: Twenty eight male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 g were randomly...

background: modulation of the immune response is an important strategy by which establish­ment and growth of hydatid cyst in the internal organs of human is warranted. induction of apop­tosis in the lymphocytes might be a considerable component. this study was designed to evaluate apoptotic impact of hydatid fluid (hf) on human lymphocytes. methods: human lymphocytes were treated with hydatid f...
