Apoptosis Induced by Prednisolone Occurs without Altering the Promoter Methylation of BAX and BCL-2 Genes in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells CCRF-CEM.

Objective: one of the main mechanisms in which cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy drugs and therapeutic strategies is resistance to apoptosis due to these anticancer factors. Regulating the expression of genes through epigenetics, especially regulation through methylation, is one of the key aspects of regulating gene expression and the function of genes, which is also regulated by the pathways regulating the pathway of apoptosis. The epigenetic regulatory phenomenon in cancer cells can undergo a change in regulation and induces resistance to apoptosis against chemotherapy and anticancer factors.

Regulatory Effect of Resveratrol and Prednisolone on MDR1 Protein Expression in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cell Line (CCRF-CEM).

Objective: Chemotherapy is the most widely recognized technique to regard leukemia and also different sorts of human tumors. In any case, tranquilize protection has stayed as the primary test against the adequacy of medications. Besides, having different unfriendly impacts, chemotherapy drugs are getting to be traded by characteristic modalities for growth treatment.

Modulation of lipolysis and glycolysis pathways in cancer stem cells changed multipotentiality and differentiation capacity toward endothelial lineage.

Cancer stem cells obtain energy demand through the activation of glycolysis and lipolysis. It seems that the use of approached targeting glycolysis and lipolysis could be an effective strategy for the inhibition of cancer stem cells. In the current experiment, we studied the potential effect of glycolysis and lipolysis inhibition on cancer stem cells differentiation and mesenchymal-epithelial-transition capacity.

Treatment of cancer stem cells from human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 with resveratrol and sulindac induced mesenchymal-endothelial transition rate.

In the current experiment, the combined regime of resveratrol and a Wnt-3a inhibitor, sulindac, were examined on the angiogenic potential of cancer stem cells from human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 during 7 days. Cancer stem cells were enriched via a magnetic-activated cell sorter technique and cultured in endothelial induction medium containing sulindac and resveratrol. Expression of endothelial markers such as the von Willebrand factor (vWF) and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) and genes participating in mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition was studied by real-time PCR assay.

Genetic and epigenetic analysis of the BAX and BCL2 in the placenta of pregnant women complicated by preeclampsia.

The current study examined the effects of BAX and BCL2 polymorphisms and methylation as well as mRNA expression on susceptibility to PE. After delivery, the placentas were collected from 92 women with PE, as well as 106 normotensive pregnant women. The BAX rs4645878 and BCL2 rs2279115 polymorphisms were genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method.

Resveratrol potentially increased the tumoricidal effect of doxorubicin on SKOV3 cancer stem cells in vitro.

Ovarian cancer is associated with a high percentage of recurrence of tumor and resistance to chemotherapy. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) form a rare population with a significant capacity to begin and expand malignant diseases. Eliminating the drug resistance of CSCs by factors that have fewer side effects to the patient is vital.

The role of tumor suppressor of resveratrol and prednisolone by downregulation of YKL-40 expression in CCRF-CEM cell line.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by excessive accumulation of lymphoblast and progenitors. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and ALL is the most common subtype. Many studies have shown that the YKL-40 gene is one of the most widely expressed genes in tumors, including leukemia, but not in healthy blood cells.

Gene expression of TWIST1 and ZBTB16 is regulated by methylation modifications during the osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

Background: Osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is the principal stage during the restoration and regeneration of bone tissue. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in the differentiation process of stem cells. In this study, the methylation status of the promoter region of ZBTB16 and Twist1 genes and their role in controlling osteoblastic differentiation in MSCs was investigated during the osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs.

Evaluation of BAX and BCL-2 Gene Expression and Apoptosis Induction in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cell Line CCRFCEM after High- Dose Prednisolone Treatment.

Objective: Glucocorticoids are one of the most important drugs in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia for children. It is very important to response to glucocorticoid in the prognosis of these patients. Therefore, resistance to treatment is a major problem in lymphoid leukemia cases.

Apoptotic effect of resveratrol on human T-ALL cell line CCRF-CEM is unlikely exerted through alteration of BAX and BCL2 promoter methylation.

One of the fundamental barriers leading to failure of leukemia therapy is the resistance against conventional chemotherapies, common modality used to cure leukemia. Having the potential to trigger apoptosis in various human leukemia cell lines, resveratrol is regarded as a robust agent in chemotherapy regimens. The current study was aimed to assess whether the apoptotic effect of resveratrol on T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, CCRF-CEM, is exerted through DNA methylation of BAX and BCL2 gene promoters.

Combination of Vildagliptin and Ischemic Postconditioning in Diabetic Hearts as a Working Strategy to Reduce Myocardial Reperfusion Injury by Restoring Mitochondrial Function and Autophagic Activity.

Diabetic hearts are resistant to cardioprotection by ischemic-postconditioning (IPostC). Protection of diabetic hearts and finding related interfering mechanisms would have clinical benefits. This study investigated the combination effects of vildagliptin (Vilda) and IPostC on cardioprotection and the levels of autophagy and mitochondrial function following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in type-II diabetic rats.

Promoter Methylation Status of Survival-Related Genes in MOLT- 4 Cells Co-Cultured with Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells under Hypoxic Conditions.

Objectives: DNA methylation is a well-studied epigenetic mechanism that is a potent arm of the gene expression controlling machinery. Since the hypoxic situation and the various cells of bone marrow microenvironment, e.g.

Angiogenic potential of YKL-40 in the dynamics of tumor niche.

A multitude of clinical studies showed the elevation of YKL-40 in subjects with different kinds of tumors. It is predicted that an inherent correlation exists between survivals of cancer patients with total YKL-40 serum levels, making this factor as a potential novel biomarker. However, the crucial role of YKL-40 in the dynamics of cancers, especially angiogenesis, has not yet been completely addressed.

Regulatory effect of resveratrol and prednisolone on MDR1 gene expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (CCRF-CEM): An epigenetic perspective.

Chemotherapy is the most common method to treat leukemia as well as other types of human cancers. However, drug resistance has remained as the main challenge against the efficacy of treatments. Furthermore, having various adverse effects, chemotherapy drugs are becoming replaced by natural modalities for cancer therapy.

Time--and Concentration--Dependent Effects of Resveratrol on miR 15a and miR16-1 Expression and Apoptosis in the CCRF-CEM Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cell Line.

Background: Chemotherapy is one of the common approaches in treatment of cancers, especially leukemia. However, drug resistance phenomena reduce the likelihood of treatment success. Resveratrol is a herbal compound which through complicated processes makes some selected cells sensitive to treatment and induction of apoptosis.
