Differential Effect of ITE on the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Signaling in Breast Cancer Tissue: A Histopathological Study

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is highly expressed in various types of cancers including breast cancer. However, the role of AhR with its endogenous ligand 2-(1'H-indole-3'-carbonyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (ITE) on the progression...

The role of B3GNT3 as an oncogene in the growth, invasion and migration of esophageal cancer cells

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: To investigate the role and mechanism of β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-3 gene (B3GNT3) in esophageal cancer (ESCA). Methods: The starBase database was used to evaluate the expression of B3GNT3. B3GNT3 function was measured using KYSE-30 and KYSE-410 cells of esophageal squamous cell carc...

Effect of lncRNA HULC knockdown on rat secreting pituitary adenoma GH3 cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (4), 2019
Pituitary adenoma is one of the most common tumors in the neuroendocrine system. This study investigated the effects of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) highly up-regulated in liver cancer (HULC) on rat secreting pituitary adenoma GH3 cell viability, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and hormone secretion, a...

TNF-alpha increases angiogenic potential in a co-culture system of dental pulp cells and endothelial cells

Abstract We recently demonstrated that a co-culture system of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) could enhance angiogenesis ability in vitro. However, whether tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) could promote blood vessel formation during pulp ...

Effects of concentrated growth factors on the angiogenic properties of dental pulp cells and endothelial cells: an in vitro study

Abstract The aim was to investigate the angiogenic effects of concentrated growth factors on human dental pulp cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Cells were treated with concentrated growth factor extracts. The CCK-8 assay and cell cycle assay were conducted to evaluate cell growth. Cell m...

Long non-coding RNA LINC00261 sensitizes human colon cancer cells to cisplatin therapy

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (2), 2018
Colon cancer is one of the most common digestive tumors. The present study aimed to explore the functional role, as well as the underlying mechanism of long non-coding RNA LINC00261 in colon cancer. Expression of LINC00261 was analyzed in colon cancer cell lines and human normal cell lines. Acquired resi...

Ginsenoside Rg1 protects human renal tubular epithelial cells from lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis and inflammation damage

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (2), 2018
Ginsenoside Rg1, one of the most notable active components of Panax ginseng, has been widely reported to exert anti-inflammatory actions. This study aimed to reveal whether ginsenoside Rg1 also exhibits beneficial roles against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis and inflammation in human renal tu...

A spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor attenuates the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: Pathologic vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration after vascular injury promotes the development of occlusive vascular disease. Therefore, an effective chemical agent to suppress aberrant proliferation and migration of VSMCs can be a potential therapeutic modality for ...

Modelos y ensayos para el estudio de la angiogénesis
Models and trials for angiogenesis study

Medisan; 20 (1), 2016
La angiogénesis, que conduce a la formación de redes capilares, tiene un rol importante en un elevado número de eventos fisiológicos y patológicos, entre los cuales figuran el desarrollo embrionario, la cicatrización de heridas, la artritis, el crecimiento tumoral, la metástasis y los procesos isq...

Ação da proteína amiloide sérica A em melanomas

Concentrações séricas basais da proteína amiloide sérica A (SAA) estão significativamente aumentadas em pacientes com câncer e alguns autores sugerem uma relação causal. Trabalho anterior do grupo mostrou que a SAA induz a proliferação de duas linhagens de glioblastoma humano e afeta os proces...
