Exploring the promising therapeutic benefits of iodine and radioiodine in breast cancer cell lines.

Iodine has an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells; however, its effects have not been explored adequately. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of iodine and radioiodine by assessing their effects on the viability of various breast cancer cell lines: MCF7, SKBR3, and MDA-MB231. The viability of cells was measured in treated cells exposed to six doses of iodine (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 µM) and two doses of radioiodine (3.

Transcriptomic analysis of profibrinolytic and fibrinolytic inhibitor genes in COVID-19 patients.

The immunopathogenesis of COVID-19 infection is initiated by the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 virus into the human body through droplets, entering the lungs and binding to the ACE-2 receptor. Activated macrophages stimulate an immune and inflammatory response, leading to the activation of the coagulation cascade, including profibrinolytic and fibrinolytic inhibitor processes. One of the proteins involved in profibrinolytic is encoded by the gene, while fibrinolytic inhibitor proteins are encoded by the and genes.

Analysis of Urinary Iodine Concentration in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer and Breast Cancer Cases.

Unlabelled: Iodine intake can affect thyroid and breast cells, and urinary iodine concentration (UIC) is an effective biomarker for iodine intake.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between urinary iodine concentration in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and breast cancer (BC) subjects.

Methods: The study consisted of 80 subjects divided into case (20 DTC and 20 BC subjects) and control (40 subjects).

Effects of on colorectal cancer in various terms: a narrative review.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers with an increasing number of cases. Various studies have found an association between the gut microbiota balance and colorectal cancer incidence. is a probiotic bacterium found in fermented foods, particularly yogurt and cheese.

A comparative analysis between next-generation sequencing and conventional culture method to detect empyema-associated microorganisms: A systematic review.

Empyema poses a significant global health concern, yet identifying responsible bacteria remains elusive. Recent studies question the efficacy of conventional pleural fluid culture in accurately identifying empyema-causing bacteria. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic capabilities of next-generation sequencing (NGS) with conventional pleural fluid culture in identifying empyema-causing bacteria.

The Role of Molecular Imaging in Personalized Medicine.

The concept of personalized medicine refers to the tailoring of medical treatment to each patient's unique characteristics. Scientific advancements have led to a better understanding of how a person's unique molecular and genetic profile makes them susceptible to certain diseases. It provides individualized medical treatments that will be safe and effective for each patient.

Radiopharmaceutical Treatments for Cancer Therapy, Radionuclides Characteristics, Applications, and Challenges.

Advances in the field of molecular biology have had an impact on biomedical applications, which provide greater hope for both imaging and therapeutics. Work has been intensified on the development of radionuclides and their application in radiopharmaceuticals (RP) which will certainly influence and expand therapeutic approaches in the future treatment of patients. Alpha or beta particles and Auger electrons are used for therapy purposes, and each has advantages and disadvantages.

Analysis Natrium Iodide Symporter Expression in Breast Cancer Subtypes for Radioiodine Therapy Response.

Purpose: This study investigates natrium iodide symporter (NIS) expression in three breast cancer subtypes to predict radioiodine response.

Materials And Methods: Frozen breast tissues from triple negative (TN), human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2+), and luminal A cancers were used in this research. NIS protein expression in each subtype was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blot (WB).

Epidermal Growth Factor and Adenosine Triphosphate Induce Natrium Iodide Symporter Expression in Breast Cancer Cell Lines.

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of ATP, EGF and combination of those two to the Natrium Iodide Symporter (NIS) expression in MCF7, SKBR3 and HaCaT cell lines.

Methods: MCF7, SKBR3 and HaCaT cell lines were treated with ATP, EGF and combination of those two for 6, 12 and 24 hours. The expression of NIS mRNA was measured through quantitative-reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
