background: radiation-induced bystander effect is a response which results in damage in non-irradiated cells in response to signals from the irradiated cells. the aim of the present study was to investigate microwave-induced bystander effect from a gsm mobile phone simulator on induction of apoptosis in jurkat cell line. materials and methods: jurkat cells were divided into three groups of non-...

abstract the antineoplastic activities of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the roots, stems and leaves of isatis campylocarpa an endemic species of the brassicaceae family from iran, investigated on the growth of jurkat as an acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line, k562 as a chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line and fen as a bladder cancer cell line using colorimetric assay. results showed that...

Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to determine the important molecules involved in apoptosis induction by opium in Jurkat cell line. Materials and Methods: Jurkat cells were incubated 48 hrs with2.86×10-5 g/ml concentration of opium and apoptosis as well as expression levels of related molecules weremeasured. Results: Our results demonstrated that 50.3±0.2 percent of opium treated Jurka...

abstract leukemia is known as the world’s fifth most prevalent cancer. new cytotoxic drugs have created considerable progress in the treatment, but side effects are still the important cause of mortality. plant derivatives have been recently considered as important sources for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. gallic acid (ga) is a polyhydroxyphenolic compound with a wide ran...

There are some reports on the lignan constituents of Linum spp. In this study, we investigated the cyototoxicity of Linum spp. in vitro cultures for the first time. If they show significant cytotoxic activity, they will be valuable candidates for isolation of cytotoxic compounds in large scale from them by tissue culture technology. In our study, we chose normal root, hairy root and calli cultu...
