Alpha-kinase1 promotes tubular injury and interstitial inflammation in diabetic nephropathy by canonical pyroptosis pathway

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) is a master regulator in inflammation and has been proved to promote renal fibrosis by promoting the production of IL-1β in diabetic nephropathy (DN) mice. Pyroptosis is involved in high glucose (HG)-induced tubular cells injury, characterized by activation of Gasdermi...

Effects of nitric oxide on C2C12 cell inflammatory responses and notexin-induced muscle injury

Int. j. morphol; 40 (1), 2022
SUMMARY: Skeletal muscle injury is an acute inflammatory condition caused by an inflammatory response. To reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and relieve skeletal muscle injury, efficient treatment is urgently needed. Nitric oxide is a free radical molecule reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. I...

Alpha-hederin induces the apoptosis of oral cancer SCC-25 cells by regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway

BACKGROUND: Oral cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the head and neck. However, current treatments have numerous side effects, and drugs from natural sources may have better therapeutic potential. This research investigated the induction of apoptosis by α-hederin (α-HN), a constituent of P...

Two new mixed-ligand coordination polymers based on multi-N chelating ligand inhibit YAP expression and induce caspase-mediated spinal tumor cell apoptosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (5), 2019
Two new coordination polymers [Zn (bdc)(bpybzimH2)](DMF)0.5 (1, H2bdc=1,4-dicarboxybenzene, bpybzimH2=6,6′-bis-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide) and [Co (bpybzimH2)(sbc)]H2O (2, H2sbc=4-mercaptobenzoic acid) have been successfully prepared under solvothermal ...

Expression of M30 and M65 in celiac disease. Analytical cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 136 (6), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The role of villous atrophy in apoptosis, a distinctive feature of celiac disease, is a matter of controversy. The aim of this study was to determine the apoptosis rate through immunohistochemical staining for M30 and M65 in celiac disease cases. DESIGN AND SETTING: Analytical cr...

Mechanistic effect of the human GJB6 gene and its mutations in HaCaT cell proliferation and apoptosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (9), 2018
We constructed lentiviral vectors containing the human wild-type GJB6 gene and the mutant variants A88V and G11R. The three proteins were stably expressed by the Tet-on system in the HaCaT cell line and used to study the functional effect of the variants. The CCK-8 assay and flow cytometric analyses were...

Cytotoxic effects of local anesthesia through lidocaine/ropivacaine on human melanoma cell lines

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (6), 2016
Abstract Background: Local anesthetics (LAs) are generally considered as safe, but cytotoxicity has been reported for several local anesthetics used in humans, which is not well investigated. In the present study, the cytotoxicity of lidocaine, ropivacaine and the combination of lidocaine and ropivacain...

Cadmium-induced apoptosis of Siberian tiger fibroblasts via disrupted intracellular homeostasis

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: Heavy metals can cause great harm to Siberian tigers in the natural environment. Cadmium (Cd2+) is an environmental contaminant that affects multiple cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in a variety of cell typ...

Low concentrations of doxycycline attenuates FasL-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Doxycycline (DC) has been shown to possess non-antibiotic properties including Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL)-mediated apoptosis against several tumor types in the concentration range of 10-40 µg/mL. However, the effect of DC in apoptotic signaling at much low concentrations was not studied. METHODS:...

Morte celular por apoptose
Apoptosis: programmed cell death

Rev. bras. cancerol; 53 (3), 2007
Apoptose, ou morte celular programada, é um processo essencial para a manutenção do desenvolvimento dos seresvivos, sendo importante para eliminar células supérfluas ou defeituosas. Durante a apoptose, a célula sofre alterações morfológicas características desse tipo de morte celular. Tais alte...
