Objective(s): To determine the effects of triiodothyronine (T3) intracoronary perfusion in isolated hearts and short-term administration in rats on the left ventricular (LV) phosphorylation patterns of Akt and ERK1/2. Materials and Methods: Cardiodynamic and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated in Langendorff–perfused hearts. Left ventr...

The lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. However in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. The metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...

Objective(s): Genistein, as a phytoestrogen found in legumes, has several biological activities in general and anti-diabetic activity particularly. In this study, we investigated the effect of genistein on proteins involved in β-cell proliferation, survival and apoptosis to further reveal its anti-diabetic potential in the ovariectomized diabetic rat. Materials and Methods: We used three-month-...

Objective: This study evaluated the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of coenzyme Q0 (CoQ0) in human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cell line. Material Method: The cytotoxic effect CoQ0 on line, was determined by MTT test. activity caspase-3, expression proteins involved apoptosis, MAPK AKT signaling pathways were with enzymatic assay western blot analysis, respectively. Result Discuss...

Angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptors (AT1) regulate cell growth through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways. ERK1/2 and Akt/protein kinase B, downstream of PI3K, are independently activated but both required for mediating AngII-induced proliferation when expressed at endogenous levels. We investigate the effect of an increase i...

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the radiation sensitizing ability of ERK1/2, PI3K-AKT and JNK inhibitors in highly radiation resistant and metastatic B16F10 cells which carry wild-type Ras and Braf. Methods Mouse melanoma cell line B16F10 was exposed to 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 Gy of electron beam radiation. Phosphorylated ERK1/2, AKT and JNK levels were estimated by ELISA. Cells were...

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of related death in males worldwide. Most patients show no response to androgen deprivation therapy case recurrence and proceed advanced stage with metastasis. TRPM7 reported be upregulated diverse types tumors. Methods: We analyzed expression proteins by Western blotting analysis. performed cell migration invasion assay analyze relati...

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is linked to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) signaling pathways. During brain ischemia/reperfusion, EGFR could be transactivated, which stimulates these intracellular signaling cascades that either protect cells or potentiate ...
