... to apoptosis, and invasiveness were determined using two VSNL1-overexpressing colorectal cancer cell lines, CW-2 and HCT-116 and VSNL1 inducibly expressing SNU-C5, respectively. Gene expression signatures in VSNL1-downregulated CW-2 and HCT-116 were identified using transcriptome and gene set enrichment...

...Li-Li Gao; Zhi-Hao Wang; Yu-Hang Mu; Zuo-Long Liu; Li Pang Objective: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a severe and common complication of sepsis and can induce cognitive dysfunction and apoptosis of neurons and neuroinflammation. Emodin has been confirmed to have anti-inflammatory effects...

... proliferation and apoptosis were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Expression of LC3 was detected using immunofluorescence staining. Expressions of autophagy-related proteins and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK)/mechanical target of rapamycin kinase...

... reported that, in pancreatic beta cells and corneal epithelia, ROS production is enhanced by hyperglycemia, followed by apoptosis induced through the Jun-N terminal kinase and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways [ 9, 10 ]. It is, therefore, possible that a similar phenomenon may...

... expression, or FAS transcriptional dysregulation by P53, eventually escaping from immune surveillance. Since thyroid carcinomas were shown to be resistant to FAS-mediated apoptosis, we investigated the above mechanisms in thyroid carcinoma samples. Methods: Thirty-seven thyroid carcinoma samples were...

... metabolites, and phosphocholine in particular. Apoptosis and necrosis were both associated with lipid levels, with the relationship dependent on the use of long or short echo time MRS acquisitions. Neuronal components correlated negatively and glial components positively with N-acetyl-aspartate. Glial...

...Min Zhang; Junqiang Chen; Zhaoqiang Jiang; Lijin Zhu; Wei Wu; Yun Xiao; Kun Chen Aims: Asbestos is harmful to human health. However, the pathogenicity of chrysotile is a controversial matter. This study aimed to investigate the apoptosis of a human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) exposed...

...: Cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry. Caspase-3 activity and vascular endothelial growth factor secretion were detected by a caspase-3 assay and human vascular endothelial growth factor kit, respectively. A PC-3 xenograft mouse model...

... (PTLD) represent a spectrum of lymphoid diseases complicating the clinical course of transplant recipients. Most PTLD are Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated with viral latency type III. Several in vitro studies have revealed an interaction between EBV latency proteins and molecules of the apoptosis...

...: the continuous clamping group underwent 60 min of 70% hepatic ischemia; the IPC group received 10 min ischemia followed by 10 min reperfusion prior to ischemia, and the sham control (sham) underwent a sham operation without ischemia. Hepatocyte and SEC apoptosis, liver necrotic areas and the levels of alanine...

..., and induces apoptosis in macrophages. Thioglycolate-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages were induced to differentiate into dendritic cells by co-treatment with IL-4 and GM-CSF. The number of mouse peritoneal macrophage-derived dendritic cells (PMDDCs) showed a dose-dependent decrease in hrHMGB1 treatment...

... apoptosis. Results: In the absence of TGF-β, Bim was upregulated, cell growth was inhibited and apoptosis was induced. TGF-β treatment did not affect RUNX3 expression; however, the increase in Bim expression was significant and time dependent. Interestingly, Smad4 but not Smad2/3 was also upregulated upon...

... mechanism of ING4 on tumor growth inhibition has not yet been elucidated. The goal of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effects of ING4 on gliomas and its mechanism by transduction of ING4 cDNA into glioma U87MG. Methods: The effect and mechanisms of ING4 on proliferation and apoptosis of U87MG...

... were performed on tissue array slides containing 293 gastric carcinoma specimens. The relationship between the protein expression of each of the cell cycle regulators and prognosis, clinicopathological features, proliferation, or apoptosis was evaluated. Results: The nuclear immunoreactivity for cyclin...

... studies, including our own, have shown that asbestos causes specific mitotic disturbances, micronucleus formation and typical changes in chromatin structure resembling those of apoptosis. This effect has been considered as programmed cell death removing damaged or pre-cancerous cells. We investigated...

...Craig D. Albright; Steven H. Zeisel Dietary restriction is known to decrease cell proliferation and increase apoptosis in the liver; however, the role of withdrawal of single dietary factors on cells of the liver is less well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of short-term...

...Jan Kovar; Laura L. Stunz; Barbara C. Steward; Karin Kriegerbeckova; Robert F. Ashman; John D. Kemp We found that the mouse B cell lymphoma 38C13 underwent apoptosis in vitro when deprived of iron by three independent methods: (1) exposure to a synergistic pair of rat IgG monoclonal antibodies...

... correlations between p53 and Bcl-2 expression in both adenomas and carcinomas (p < 0.05 and p < 0.005, respectively). We conclude that increased expression of Bcl-2 in adenomas may imply increasing protection against apoptosis during the progression from mild to severe dysplasia. Reduced expression...
