Anti-survivin antibody responses in lung cancer
(2009)Existing evidence regarding spontaneous anti-survivin humoral responses in lung cancer is inconclusive. Moreover, despite that cancer cell death elicited by radiotherapy and some chemotherapeutic agents seems to be ... -
ANTIANGIOGENIC POTENTIAL OF GRAPE STEM EXTRACT THROUGH INHIBITION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR EXPRESSION
(2014)The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiangiogenic potential of a grape stem extract against tube formation by human endothelial cells (EA.hy926). The results showed that at low and non-cytotoxic concentrations ... -
Anvirzel (TM) in combination with cisplatin in breast, colon, lung, prostate, melanoma and pancreatic cancer cell lines
(2013)Background: Platinum derivatives are used widely for the treatment of many cancers. However, the toxicity that is observed makes imperative the need for new drugs, or new combinations. Anvirzel (TM) is an extract which has ... -
Assessment of polyphenolic content, antioxidant activity, protection against ROS-induced DNA damage and anticancer activity of Vitis vinifera stem extracts
(2013)Grape extracts and wine have been studied widely due to their beneficial effects on human health. However, there are only few studies from grape stems extracts. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was the ... -
Association between AKT1 gene and Parkinson's disease: A protective haplotype
(2008)Variation in AKT1 has been associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disease and type 11 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of variability within AKT1 as a risk factor for Parkinson's ... -
Association between the primary biliary cirrhosis specific anti-sp100 antibodies and recurrent urinary tract infection
(2003)Background and aims. Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI) have been suggested to be involved in the induction of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA), the serological hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), in ... -
Association of allelic loss at the FHIT locus and p53 alterations with tumour kinetics and chromosomal instability in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs)
(2001)The FHIT gene, located at the FRA3B fragile site of chromosome 3p14.2, encodes a 16.8 kD homologue of the yeast enzyme diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A) hydrolase, Frequent allelic losses at this region in various ... -
Azithromycin reduces the viability of human bronchial smooth muscle cells
(2010)The macrolide antibiotic azithromycin has an antiproliferative and autophagic effect on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of azithromycin on human bronchial ... -
Bortezomib Downregulates MGMT Expression in T98G Glioblastoma Cells
(2013)The efficacy of treatment for glioblastoma multiforme is currently limited by the development of resistance, particularly, but not exclusively, due to the expression of the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase ... -
CDK-inhibitor olomoucine inhibits cell death after exposure of cell lines to cytosine-arabinoside
(1999)Signal transduction for apoptosis or programmed cell death, after DNA damage in mammalian cells, is believed to involve activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), especially CDK-1 (cdc2) and CDK-2. We used CDK-inhibitor ... -
Cell death-inducing effect of novel palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes on non-small cell lung cancer cells in vitro
(2011)Purpose Treatment for lung cancer is still far from satisfying rates. Therefore, there is a need for novel anticancer agents. For this purpose, novel platinum and palladium complexes {[Pd(sac)(terpy)](sac).4H(2)O (Complex ... -
Cell-free plasma DNA as a novel marker of aseptic inflammation severity related to exercise overtraining
(2006)Background: Circulating free plasma DNA is implicated in conditions associated with tissue injury, including exercise-induced inflammation, and thus is a potential marker for athletic overtraining. Methods: We measured ... -
Chemopreventive activity of very low dose dietary tannic acid administration in hepatoma bearing C3H male mice
(1999)Tannins are plant polyphenols comprising a heterogeneous group of compounds. Tannic acid is a common tannin found in tea, coffee, immature fruits, etc. and it has also been used as a food additive. An increasing body of ... -
Comparing normal primary endocervical adenoepithelial cells to uninfected and influenza B virus infected human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells
(2006)Human adenocarcinoma HeLa cells surviving infection with low (10(-9) units), medium (10(-6) units), and high (10(-2) units) influenza B titers were compared to their uninfected precursors and to normal endocervical ... -
Damage-associated molecular patterns derived from mitochondria may contribute to the hemodialysis-associated inflammation
(2014)Inflammation is common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are released during cell necrosis or apoptosis and induce inflammation. Cell apoptosis is increased in HD ... -
DNA damage and repair capacity in lymphocytes from obstructive sleep apnea patients
(2007)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a respiratory disease that is linked to heart attacks and high blood pressure. In the present study, we used the Comet assay to compare basal DNA damage and DNA damage induction ... -
The HIV-1 gp120/V3 modifies the response of uninfected CD4 T cells to antigen presentation: mapping of the specific transcriptional signature
(2011)Background: The asymptomatic phase of HIV-1 infection is characterized by a progressive depletion of uninfected peripheral effector/memory CD4+ T cells that subsequently leads to immune dysfunction and AIDS symptoms. We ... -
HIV-1 gp120/V3-derived epitopes promote activation-induced cell death to superantigen-stimulated CD4(+)/CD45RO(+) T cells
(2007)The third hypervirable (V3) domain of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 has been implicated in HIV pathogenesis via co-receptor usage of chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4. As the protagonist cell populations in the ... -
HIV-1 infection: Is it time to reconsider our concepts?
(2006)The long asymptomatic phase of HIV infection is critical in the progression to AIDS. It probably reflects an ancestral relationship with lentiviruses stemming from the primate-simian immunodeficiency virus evolutionary ... -
