Dust particles (DPs) are one of the most important public health concerns in the urban environment. The presence of heavy metals (HMs) on the surface of DPs might increase the health risk of exposure to the DPs. Accordingly, The purpose of this study was to examine the content of HMs in the outdoor and indoor DPs in Neyshabur city and assess the cytotoxic effects of DPs exposure on lung, gastric, and skin cell lines.

Background And Aim: Tripartite Motif Containing 16 (TRIM16) is a member of the TRIM protein family which is known to play a suppressor role in development of numerous tumor types. However, a positive correlation between TRIM16 expression and gastric cancer (GC) progress has created a controversial situation that need to be fully delineated.  The aim of this study was to assess the expression level of TRIM16 mRNA and its relationship with β-catenin, CyclinD, and BCL2 expression in Iranian GC patients and to investigate its possible association with patients' overall survival.

Background: The use of DOX as an anticancer agent is associated with serious side effects on normal cells especially in cardiovascular tissue.

Objective: Here, it is proposed that the combination of a low dose of DOX with AgNPs provides ideal cytotoxicity against cancer cells and decreases side effects on normal human cells. This study evaluates the cytotoxic effects of green-synthetized AgNPs (GS-AgNPs) in combination with DOX in cancerous cells (MCF7) and investigates its influences on cell growth and apoptosis in a normal cell line of the heart (H9c2).

Probiotics are nonpathogenic bacterial strains that exert beneficial effects on the host. Previous studies have shown that topical use of some strains of probiotic bacteria have good effects on the healing of cutaneous wounds. In the current study, the wound healing potentials of bacterial probiotics on diabetic cutaneous wounds were evaluated.

The role of high fat diet (HFD) in ovarian cancer and its underlying mechanisms are poorly known. In current investigation, we investigated inflammatory and oncogenic effect of dietary fats in female Wistar rats and ovarian cancer cell line (SKOV3). The ELISA kits were used for adipokines and inflammatory factors analyses in sera collected from rats fed with high fat diet (SR-HFD).

Background: Multiple studies have revealed a direct correlation between obesity and the development of multiple comorbidities, including metabolic diseases, cardiovascular disorders, chronic inflammatory disease, and cancers. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the link between obesity and the progression of these diseases is not completely understood. Adipokines are factors that are secreted by adipocytes and play a key role in whole body homeostasis.

Leptin induces ovarian cancer cell invasion via overexpression of MMP7, MMP9, and upA. In addition, the key role of ERα in leptin-increased cell growth was indicated. However, the influence of ER on leptin-mediated cell invasion remains still unknown.

Background: Increasing evidence indicates that obesity is associated with tumor development and progression. Leptin is an adipocyte-related hormone with a key role in energy metabolism and whose circulating levels are elevated in obesity. The effect of leptin on cancer progression and metastasis and its underlying mechanisms are still unclear.
