Cyclophosphamide stimulates endoplasmic reticulum stress and induces apoptotic cell death in human glioblastoma cell lines.

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in cancer treatments. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of 4-Hydroperoxy cyclophosphamide (4-HC), which is active form of CP, on glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), phospho-protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase (p-PERK), phospho-inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha (p-IRE1α), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α), and caspase-3 messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) and proteins that play roles in the ER stress pathway and apoptosis in U87 and T98 human glioblastoma cell lines. U87 and T98 human glioblastoma cell lines were divided into control and 4-HC-treated groups.

Understanding the role of the gut microbiome in gastrointestinal cancer: A review.

Gastrointestinal cancer represents one of the most diagnosed types of cancer. Cancer is a genetic and multifactorial disease, influenced by the host and environmental factors. It has been stated that 20% of cancer is caused by microorganisms such as , hepatitis B and C virus, and human papillomavirus.

Investigation of the Anticancer Effect of S-Allyl-L Cysteine on the C6 Rat Glioma Cell Line in vitro in 2D- and 3D-Cell Culture Models.

Aim: To investigate the antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of S-allyl cysteine (SAC) on C6 glioblastoma cells using two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) cell culture systems.

Material And Methods: Three groups of rat glioma cell line C6 were prepared: 2D-Control, 2D-SAC, 3D-CMC-Control, and 3D-CMC-SAC. The control cells were incubated under standard culture conditions, the SAC cells were incubated in a culture medium supplemented with the IC50 dose (50 ?M for both the 2D-SAC C6 and 3D-CMC-SAC groups) of SAC for 24 and 48 h.

Evaluation of the protective effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma on alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis.

Objectives: The inhibition of bone destruction is one of the main goals of periodontitis treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on alveolar bone loss radiographically, histomorphometrically, and histologically in experimental periodontitis in rats.

Materials And Methods: A total of twenty-eight rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (CG) (n = 8), periodontitis group (PG) (n = 10), and NTAP group (NTAPG) (n = 10).
