results a significant decrease in apoptotic cells and increase in proliferative reaction were observed in the i/r + hbo group compared to the i/r group. conclusions we demonstrated that hbo suppressed apoptosis, which caused inflammation after renal i/r, and promoted tubular cell regeneration. hbo has protective effects against aki caused by renal i/r through the inhibition of apoptosis. materi...

Introduction: Kainic Acid (KA) is an ionotropic glutamate receptor agonist. KA can induce neuronal overactivity and excitotoxicity. Rosmarinic Acid (RA) is a natural polyphenolic compound with antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-neurodegenerative, and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to assess the effect of RA on apoptosis, nNOS-positive neurons number, as well as Mitogen-Activated ...

Quercetin compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer pharmacological functions. Long-term exposure to acrylamide (AA) can cause liver injury endanger human health. However, whether quercetin attenuate AA-induced the specific mechanism are not clear. Here, we studied structure-activity relationship of in reducing hepatotoxicity vivo vitro. In studies found that quercetin-like p...

artemisia is an important genus of iranian flora whose potent anti-proliferative effect has been demonstrated previously on human cancerous cell lines. in the current study, further fractionation was carried out on the petroleum ether extract of a. aucheri and their cytotoxic effects were evaluated on three human cancer cell lines. cell viability was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,...

Objective(s):Sea cucumber is one of the classes of echinoderms, which is considered as a health marine product and possess various biological characteristics with therapeutic application. The present investigation attempted to evaluate the potential of anti-cancer Persian Gulf sea cucumber species Holothuria arenicola (H. arenicola) aqueous extract on mice colon carcinoma cells in vitro and in ...

Rhodiola rosea is a genus of in the family Rosea, and top-quality medicine for strengthening tonic deficiency. Modern research has found that various pharmacological effects such as anti-fatigue, anti-oxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory anti-tumor. As main active ingredient rosea, Salidroside can exert anti-tumor by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, migration, promoting apoptosis, inducin...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to identify the role of miR-155 in the myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury through targeting hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α). Materials and Methods: We constructed rat models with myocardial I/R injury and H9C2 cell models with hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) damage. Anti-miR-155 and...

Background: Despite modern developments in its management, still major concerns remain about drug resistance in chemotherapy. Natural adjuvants combined with chemotherapy might be the answer. We examined the anti-cancer, anti-proliferative and synergistic effects of Sambucus nigra extract with cisplatin chemotherapy (CDDP) on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell lines. Methods: MCF-7 and MDA...
