MicroRNAs (miRNAs) involved in regulation of the genes. The CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-α (CEBPα) is a crucial transcription factor for normal hematopoiesis and cell cycle that frequently disrupted in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The miR-182 up-regulation in several malignant diseases such as AML was reported, in the other hand bioinformatics analysis revealed CEBPα targeted by miR-18...

An unbounded number of events exist beneath the intricacy of each particular hematologic malignancy, prompting the tumor cells into an unrestrained proliferation and invasion. Aberrant expression of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is one of these events which disrupts regulation of cell cycle and subsequently, results in cancer progression. In this study, we surveyed the repressive impact of mu...

Nano Cell Cycle Checkpoint Inhibitors In article number 2300736, Daishun Ling, Fangyuan Li, and co-workers demonstrate that ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) can serve as a selective nano cell cycle checkpoint inhibitor (NCCI) to catalyze the intracellular H2O2 into abundant ·OH, cleave heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), thus induce degradation of client ATR/CHK1, leading dysfunction G2/...

background: several studies have demonstrated the immunosuppresive effects of mes-enchymal stem cells (mscs) in allogeneic or mitogenic interactions. cell-cell contact inhibition and secretion of suppressive soluble factors have been suggested in this re-gard. objective: to investigate if adipose derived mscs could inhibit jurkat lym-phoblastic leukemia t cell proliferation during coculture. me...

Background: Plants are a proven source of anti-tumor compounds and it is reasonable to assume that many such substances remain to be discovered. In Iranian folk medicine, ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Daphne mucronata Royle is used against various skin disorders.Objective: In order to evaluate anti-neoplastic plants, we initiated a cytotoxic study using Daphne mucronata that is indig...

Among various treatments, plants play a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy. Base on literature data, different species of the thymeleaeceae family have been found to be good sources for anticancer agents. Therefore, our laboratory has initiated a research project on evaluating the anticancer properties of the Iranian medical plant, Daphne mucronata (Thymeleaeceae). Gnidilatimonoein is a new di...

Background: Interaction between killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules is important for regulation of natural killer (NK) cell function. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of compound KIR-HLA genotype on susceptibility to acute leukemia. Methods: Cohorts of Iranian patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML;...

Dysregulated expression of miRNAs can play a vital role in pathogenesis of leukemia. The shortened telomere length, and elevated telomerase activity in acute promyelocytic leukemia cells are mainly indicative of extensive proliferative activity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of overexpression of miR-138 on telomerase activity, and cell proliferation of acute promyelocytic leukemia ...

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...
