Vimentin protein is a factor for decreasing breast cancer cell proliferation co-culture with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells pre-treated with thiazolidinedione solutions.

Background: Our previous study investigated the levels of soluble growth factors in the conditioned media of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) pre-treated with thiazolidinedione solutions. The present study aimed to investigate the complex intracellular proteins extracted from BMSCs pre-treated with pioglitazone and/or rosiglitazone using proteomics.

Methods: The proliferative effect of the identified protein on MCF-7 cells that interacted non-adhesively with BMSCs pre-treated with pioglitazone and/or rosiglitazone was evaluated using cell culture inserts and conditioned media.

Bombesin-like receptor 3 expression induced by bisphenol A is likely associated with reduced cell proliferation by inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing inflammation in liver cells.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an exogenous endocrine disruptor mimicking hormones closely associated with health complications, such as cancer progression. BPA is also related to an increase in the prevalence of obesity-related diseases due to its obesogenic action. Bombesin-like receptor 3 (BRS3) is an important factor that should be considered in the adipogenic gene network, as depletion of this gene alters adiposity.

Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted approach for synthesizing a highly stable biocompatible bismuth-coated iron oxide nanoparticles using a face-centered central composite design.

The incorporation of additional functional groups such as bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) into magnetite nanoparticles (FeO NPs) is critical for their properties modification, stabilization, and multi-functionalization in biomedical applications. In this work, ultrasound has rapidly modified iron oxide (FeO) NPs via incorporating their surface through coating with Bi NPs, creating unique FeO@Bi composite NPs. The FeO@Bi nanocomposites were synthesized and statistically optimized using an ultrasonic probe and response surface methodology (RSM).

Bisphenol A is a carcinogen that induces lipid accumulation, peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor‑γ expression and liver disease.

Bisphenol (BP) A is an exogenous endocrine disruptor that mimics hormones closely associated with health complications, e.g., obesity and cancers.

Ultrasound assisted chitosan coated iron oxide nanoparticles: Influence of ultrasonic irradiation on the crystallinity, stability, toxicity and magnetization of the functionalized nanoparticles.

Due to unique reaction conditions of the acoustic cavitation process, ultrasound-assisted synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted increased research attention. In this study, we demonstrate the effect of ultrasonic irradiation on the crystallinity, stability, biocompatibility, and magnetic properties of chitosan-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CS-SPIONs). CS solution and colloidal suspension of SPIONs were mixed and sonicated using an ultrasonic probe of 1.
