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:...
