...ccording to PCR results, caspase-9 activity increased incrementally in groups given 50 μM of TA. The increase in the apoptosis of LNCaP cells may be due to the rising amount of TA concentration. In our study, in 25, 50, and 100 μM TA groups, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) decreased incrementally compared to the control group. Considering overstimulation of COX-2 paths in emergence of cancer or in metastasis, this study shows TA has an antiproliferative and sti...

...ed to assess the cleaved caspase-3, -8, -9, and cleaved poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. Protein expression of extracellular-regulated kinase were detected. Finally, data analysed statistically to determine significantly differences among groups. Results showed that breakpoint cluster 2 was a direct target of miR-16, and the expression was negatively correlated. Moreover, miR-16 promoted apoptosis suppressing breakpoint cluster 2 through phosphorylation of extracel...

Cell lines were divided into untreated (control) group and groups exposed to 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/ml of testosterone enanthate. The cytotoxic effect of testosterone enanthate was measured using MTT assay method. iNOS, MMP9, caspase-3, -8 and -9 expression level were evaluated by real-time PCR and the

In conclusion, propofol and vitexin could up-regulate expression of Bcl-2 protein, down-regulate expression of Bax and caspase-3 protein, inhibit cell apoptosis, reduce liver damage indexes, and have certain protective effects on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. The effect of propofol combined with vitexin is better than that of propofol and...

...ressions of Bax, cleaved-caspase3 and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot. qRT-PCR was used to detect the effect of GSTT on miR-99a expression level. The above methods were used to detect the effects of miR-99a overexpression on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte inflammatory factors and apoptosis rate. Anti-miR-NC and anti-miR-99a were transfected into chondrocytes, respectively, and treated with a culture solution containing GSTT and IL-1β for 24 h. Inflamm...

Our result showed that naringenin pretreatment significantly increased cardiac dysfunction via scavenged free radicals and a reduction of inflammatory reaction. Dose-dependent treatment of naringenin significantly altered the CK-MB, HDL, LDL, creatinine, cholesterol, CRP, Ca2+, Na+ and K+, respectively.

However, intoxicated groups treated with PN and PM showed marked improvement in the measured parameters. Therefore, PN and PM have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, especially PM, which showed better improvement than PN against CCl4 hepatotoxicity in rat...

The histological alterations caused by the hydatid cyst were cell degeneration, necrosis, hemorrhage, congestion, and fibrosis. The findings revealed that the CD3 T cells were the most predominant inflammatory cell in hepatic mice tissue. Also, CD4 Helper T cells, CD8 Killer T cells, CD20 memory cells, and CD68 macrophages were detected in the infected mice. Most samples of mice express...
