Apoptosis; Docetaxel; G2/M cell cycle; Human renal cell carcinoma

Tremendous efforts have been made in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients’ research; however, clinical findings in patients have been disappointing. The aims of our study were to identify better or alternative therapeutic methods that can reverse chemotherapy resistance and to enhance sensitivity to docetaxel (DOX)-based chemotherapy drugs. We evaluated the anti-proliferative effect of DOX ... more

Apoptosis; C-erbB-2; Chitosan; Laryngeal cancer; Nanoparticles

We aimed to measure the invasion ability of Hep-2 laryngeal cancer cells after treatment with C-erbB-2-small interfering RNA (siRNA)-chitosan nanoparticles, and assess the applied value of chitosan nanoparticle-mediated C-erbB-2 interference in inhibiting laryngeal cancer invasion and metastasis. Nanoparticles of approximately 100 nm, comprising ... more

Apoptosis; miR-1; Proliferation; Vestibular schwannoma

A growing body of research has demonstrated the tumor suppressive function of microRNA (miR)-1 in many cancers. Our study aimed to investigate its role in vestibular schwannoma (VS). We examined miR-1 expression in 95 VS specimens and 79 normal vestibular nerves using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, miR-1 ... more

Apoptosis; Bcl-xL; Cervical cancer c-33a cells; miRNA 421

Cervical cancer is a life-threatening condition. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can promote or inhibit cell death and proliferation. The present study investigated the effect of miRNA 421 on the growth and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. miRNA 421 and control miRNA were synthesized and transfected into c-33a cervical cancer cells. A thiazolyl ... more

We assessed the effects of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) on oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM), apoptosis, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) expression and mRNA levels. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were recovered from sheep ovaries and pooled in groups, before being cultured in IVM ... more

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2-DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels. T2-DM patients suffer from many complications, such as diabetic fatty liver and diabetic nephropathy. The liver, the pivotal organ involved in both glucose and lipid metabolism, is primarily damaged in T2-DM patients, especially in those with high levels of blood lipid. In this study, ... more

Apoptosis; Gene; Glioblastoma; miRNA

Glioblastoma is considered incurable, even with a combination of therapies (chemo and radiotherapy), and surgical resection. New therapeutic approaches are needed to improve the prognosis of patients with glioblastoma. In recent decades, research has focused on molecular biology of brain tumors. We examined the role of programmed cell death, apoptosis, through two ... more

Alcoholism; Apoptosis; blood; Cerebral ischemia; miRNA; morphology

One of the main global causes of mortality is cerebral ischemia. Studies report that alcohol abuse causes health problems, aggravating the conditions of neurological diseases. The role of microRNAs has been highlighted in the literature as biomarkers in various types of diseases, including neurological disorders. Evidence of dysregulation of serum miRNAs related to ... more

Apoptosis; CA 19-9; miRNAs; Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors of the digestive tract, with a five-year survival rate of 5%. Early detection offers better possibilities of cure; however, in early stages it does not present symptoms, making the management of these patients difficult. The most commonly used biomarker for diagnosis of PA is serum CA19-9 ... more
