Objective(s): Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is insensitive to conventional chemotherapy. Ginkgetin effectively treats several carcinoma cells. However, little is known about effects of Ginkgetin on RCC. In the present study, using 786-O cells, we evaluate whether Ginkgetin exerts anticancer effects against RCC. Materials and Methods: 786-O cells suspended in the medium containing Ginkgetin were c...

objective(s): the janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription signaling pathway (jak/stat pathway) play an important role in proliferation of breast cancer cells. previous data showed that inhibition of stat3 suppresses the growth of breast cancer cells, but the associated mechanisms are not well understood. this study aims to investigate the effect and associated mechanisms...

Background & Aims: Allergic diseases have increased in the last decade worldwide and researchers have been trying to introduce new strategies and drugs to treat these types of diseases. Nicotine shows anti-inflammatory properties and the studies have revealed that it can reduce the inflammation and the allergic responses. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a multifunctional protein kin...

Hyperactivation of signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3) is strongly associated with cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, chemoresistance, immune evasion; thus, STAT3 has been intensely studied as a therapeutic target for treatment. Berberine (BBR), an active component extracted from Coptis chinensis , shown anti-tumor effects in multiple tumors. However, its underlying...

Background & Aims: Endurance training has an important role in the prevention and adjuvant therapy of breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of endurance training on miR- 155 expression, signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) gene expression, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) protein in breast cancer tumor in mice. Methods: In this study, 16 female Ba...

Purpose: To delve into the related molecular mechanism of suppressor cytokine signaling 4 (SOCS4) on cervical cancer cell proliferation and migration. Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction western blot assays were employed to examine SOCS4 mRNA or protein expression in four human line (HeLa, SW-732, AV3, CaSki) normal epithelium immortalized (H8) MTT viability applied verify...
