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...

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...

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...
