Effects of combined oral doxycycline and topical cyclosporine treatment on ocular signs, symptoms, and tear film parameters in rosacea patients

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (6), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study reports the effects of combined use of oral doxycycline and topical cyclosporine on ocular signs, symptoms, and tear film parameters in rosacea patients. Methods: Fifty-four right eyes of 54 patients were included in this study. All patients underwent full ophthalmologic ex...

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...

Doxycycline-containing glass ionomer cement for arresting residual caries: an in vitro study and a pilot trial

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract In a previous study, we demonstrated that the incorporation of doxycycline hyclate (DOX) into resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) inhibited important cariogenic microorganisms, without modifying its biological and mechanical characteristics. In this study, we keep focused on the effect o...

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:...
