background there is a potential risk for malignancy in patients with diabetes mellitus. theoretically, a noninvasive method for detection of precancerous changes can be conducted on oral exfoliated cell smears. objectives in this study, the immunocytochemistry of p53 in exfoliated oral mucosal cells in patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. patients and methods oral mucosal smears were...

Background:  Widespread and growing sources of electromagnetic radiation raised concerns attributed to the potential adverse health risk of radiofrequency fields. Given the functional importance of the hippocampus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of electromagnetic waves radiated by mobile jammer on hippocampal expression of p21 and p53 genes as regulators of cellular apoptosis...

background: nigella sativa has been a nutritional flavoring factor and natural treatment for many ailments for so many years in medical science. earlier studies have been reported that thymoquinone (tq), an active compound of its seed, contains anticancer properties. previous studies have shown that tq induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells but it is unclear the role of p53 in the apoptotic p...

human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) transactivator tat is a potent activator of both viral and cellu lar genes. tat has also been implicated in the development of aids-related malignancy. here, we show that tat physically and functionally is able to sequester the cell cycle check point protein p53. this sequestration results in non-functional promoter activity of cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin i...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transactivator Tat is a potent activator of both viral and cellu‌lar genes. Tat has also been implicated in the development of AIDS-related malignancy. Here, we show that Tat physically and functionally is able to sequester the cell cycle check point protein p53. This sequestration results in non-functional promoter activity of cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin i...

Background: Although evidence indicates that tobacco use is one of the risk factors for oral cancer, the relationship between opium addiction and oral cancer has not yet been evaluated. The present study was performed aiming to evaluate P53 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in the gingival tissue of opium-dependent patients.Methods: 102 individuals (70 men and 32 women) wer...
