An answer to colon cancer treatment by mesenchymal stem cell originated from adipose tissue
(Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, 2018-05)
Objective(s): Colon cancer is risen up with its complex mechanism that directly impacts on its treatment as well as its common prevalence. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as a therapeutic candidate for ...
Imatinib-induced apoptosis: A possible link to topoisomerase enzyme inhibition
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-12-06)
Summary What is known and Objective: Imatinib is a specific BCR/ABL inhibitor, commonly used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), a hematological malignancy resulting from a chromosomal translocation that ...
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester triggers apoptosis through induction of loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in CCRF-CEM cells
(Springer, 2011)
Purpose CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester) is one of the most valuable and investigated component of propolis which is composed by honeybees. In the current study, we aimed at examining apoptotic effects of CAPE ...
Resveratrol and quercetin-induced apoptosis of human 232B4 chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells by activation of caspase-3 and cell cycle arrest
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), defined by accumulation of pathogenic B cells, has a very complex biology due to various factors such as inherited, host, and enviromental factors. Recently, finding new therapeutic ...
5-Fluorouracil signaling through a calcium-calmodulin-dependent pathway is required for p53 activation and apoptosis in colon carcinoma cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anti-metabolite that is in clinical use for treatment of several cancers. In cells, it is converted into three distinct fluoro-based nucleotide analogs, which interfere with DNA synthesis and ...
Docetaxel enhances the cytotoxic effects of imatinib on Philadelphia positive human chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-06)
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) results from a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 which generates BCR/ABL fusion protein and characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of immature white blood cells. Imatinib, ...
Quercetin-induced apoptosis involves increased hTERT enzyme activity of leukemic cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-09)
We aimed to examine the growth suppressive effects of quercetin on acute promyelocytic and lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia, and to find out whether the growth suppression is related to the blocking of ...
Combination of fludarabine and imatinib induces apoptosis synergistically through loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and increases in caspase-3 enzyme activity in human K562 chronic myleloid leukemia cells
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-06)
In this study, we aimed to show the synergistic apoptotic effects of imatinib/fludarabine combination in human K562 chronic myleloid leukemia (CML) cells. There was a significant increase in cytotoxicity of combination of ...
Anti-proliferative, apoptotic and signal transduction effects of hesperidin in non-small cell lung cancer cells
(Springer, 2015-06-29)
Purpose: Hesperidin, a glycoside flavonoid, is thought to act as an anti-cancer agent, since it has been found to exhibit both pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects in several cancer cell types. The mechanisms ...
Apoptotic effects of non-edible parts of Punica granatum on human multiple myeloma cells
(Springer, 2016-02)
Multiple myeloma is of great concern since existing therapies are unable to cure this clinical condition. Alternative therapeutic approaches are mandatory, and the use of plant extracts is considered interesting. Punica ...
