Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the cytotoxic effects of local probiotic bacteria, including Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus brevis, while isolated from “Tarkhine” food and the induction of apoptosis in the HT–29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line and normal fibroblasts. Methods: HT–29 and L–929 cell lines were trea...

The treatment of cancer depends on the activity cytochrome P450 enzyme family, which is essentially carried out by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes. aim our study was to investigate whether polymorphism could contribute protein their influence response cells treatment. variability cDNA profiles between cell lines parental HT-29 resistant HT-29-OxR adenocarcinoma detected using denaturing gradient gel ...

Objective(s): Chemotherapies used to treat colon cancer might often fail due to the emergence of chemoresistance and side effects. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a beneficial probiotic, whose molecular mechanisms in the prevention of colon cancer are yet to be fully understood. The present study assessed the anti-cancer effects of EcN treatments in human colorec...

A great number of researches over the last years are allocated to know cancer reasons, prevention and treatment strategies. Bacterial infections are one of the promoting factors in cancer development. The present study was carried out to study effects of heat-killed bacteria on cancer cell lines MCF7 and HT-29. To this purpose, four bacterial strains including Salmonella typhi, Sta...

Background: Even after surgery, as the most effective treatment for colorectal cancer, about 30-40% of cases are recurring. Since growth inhibition is an important strategy in cancer treatment, many attempts are in the program to find new agents, so in this study, the cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of Lactobacillus sakei on colon cancer cell line (HT-29) and some pathogenic microorganisms ...

a series of fluoroquinolone derivatives holding triazolidindione moieties have been synthesized and proved to be cytotoxic agents in vitro particularly against cancer cell lines (sknmc, mcf7, a2780-cp, sw48, a549, kb, ht-29, hepg 2 ). the cytotoxic activity was assessed using mtt colorimetric assay. our compounds had less cytotoxicity than doxorubicin in all studied cell lines.

a new series of n-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-phenylacetamide derivatives (3a-3j) were synthesized via an amidation reaction using edc and hobt in acetonitrile solvent at room temperature condition. chemical structures were characterized by 1h nmr, ir and ms spectroscopic methods and related melting points were also determined. the anticancer activity was evaluated using mtt procedure ...
