Protective effect of linoleic acid on liver toxicity induced by methotrexate

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: We aimed to investigate the protective effect of linoleic acid on liver toxicity induced by methotrexate. The study was carried out in partnership with the Department of Anatomy and Department of Medical Pharmacology of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine, using the laboratory facilities of...

Expression of AIF, PARP, and miRNAs MIR-145, MIR-210, and MIR-486 associated with apoptosis in the corpus cavernosum of rats subjected to chronic alcoholism model

Int. j. morphol; 38 (6), 2020
SUMMARY: Previous studies from our group described the consequences of using ethanol on penile erection. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms surrounding microRNAs, apoptosis process and their relationship with erectile dysfunction associated with alcohol consumption are still poorly understood. The ob...

AIF, PARP-1 and MicroRNA-9 expression in cerebral ischemia associated to alcoholism experimental model

Int. j. morphol; 38 (3), 2020
The chronic consumption of alcohol causes a worsening of the events that follow the cerebral ischemia. These events are regulated through the expression of several genes and microRNAs. The aimof this work was To analyze and describe the expression profile of PARP and AIF and miRNA-9 proteins in rats subm...

The role of caspase-3, apoptosis-inducing factor, and B-cell lymphoma-2 expressions in term premature rupture of membrane

Abstract Objective To determine the role of caspase-3, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and Bcell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) expressions in term premature rupture of membrane (PROM). Methods An analytic observational study with case-control design was conducted, involving 52 subjects (37-42 weeks of gestatio...

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR promotes UVB-induced apoptosis and inflammatory injury by up-regulation of PKR in keratinocytes

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause damage of the skin and may induce cancer, immunosuppression, photoaging, and inflammation. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOX antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) is involved in multiple human biological processes. However, its role in UVB-induced kera...

Grandisin induces apoptosis in leukemic K562 cells

Abstract In this study, the potential antileukemic activity of grandisin, a lignan extracted from Piper solmsianum, was evaluated against the leukemic line K562. The cytotoxicity of grandisin (0.018 to 2.365 µM) was evaluated in K562 and normal peripheral blood lymphocytes by Trypan Blue Exclusion and M...

SIVA, a target of p53, is downregulated in myelodysplastic syndromes

Appl. cancer res; 37 (), 2017
Background: SIVA is a transcriptional target of p53 that plays a potential role in the development and progression of cancer. In this study, we analyzed SIVA1 and SIVA2 expression, and its association with clinical features and TP53 and MDM2 expression in bone marrow cells from healthy donors and myelody...

Synadenium umbellatum Pax. promotes cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis in K-562 leukemia cells

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 48 (3), 2012
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disease that shows apoptosis resistance. The introduction of imatinib mesylate has revolutionized the treatment of CML, but imatinib resistance may develop at any time and inevitably leads to disease progression. Synadenium umbellatum Pax. bel...

Estimativa do Índice de Área Foliar (IAF) e Biomassa em pastagem no estado de Rondônia, Brasil

Acta amaz; 39 (2), 2009
