The apoptosis failure in cytostatic treatment of haemoblastosis is one of the means of chemoresistance. We were interested in the relationship of the after-doxorubicin-treatment-AML cells apoptosis and the immunophenotype, selected clinical and laboratory parameters, and also the P-gp, MRP, LRP, Bcl-2, Bax proteins expression. All analysis were evaluated with the flow cytometry method. To detect apoptotic cells in the sample, we used three methods: annexin test, TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling) test, and caspase 8 detection. After the cell cultivation the statisticaly important increase of apoptotic cells in the culture was apparent. The relation between the AML blast in vitro reaction and some clinical parameters such as the age of patient, white blood cell count, and blast percentage was also observed.

Dioscin is a natural plant-derived steroidal saponin that exerts antitumor effects in multiple cancers. It is widely involved in multiple apoptotic pathways and exerts its anti-tumor effects. In this study, we discovered that Dioscin treatment increased the expression of Noxa, thereby inducing the apoptosis of OSCC cells.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can function as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes. This study explores the role of miR-675 in ovarian cancer (OC) using OC cell lines and an orthotopic mouse model. We demonstrate that miR-675 expression inhibits primary tumor growth and metastasis by targeting TGFβ1, suppressing epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), and attenuating the TGFβ signaling pathway.

Pro-apoptotic coiled-coil domain containing 8 (CCDC8) has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis, yet its prognostic significance and underlying molecular mechanisms in bladder cancer remain to be elucidated. This study utilized raw data from public databases along with a single-center retrospective case series. We performed bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry to investigate the biological landscape of CCDC8 in various tumors, with a particular focus on bladder cancer.

Aortic aneurysms and dissections (AAD) cause more than 10,000 deaths in the United States each year. However, there are no medications that can effectively prevent the pathogenesis of AAD. MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MerTK) is a key receptor for efferocytosis, a process for the clearance of apoptotic cells.

Hypoxia is a major obstacle in the treatment of solid tumors because it causes immune escape and therapeutic resistance. Drug penetration into the hypoxic regions of tumor microenvironment (TME) is extremely limited. This study proposes using the unidirectional fluid flow property of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) to overcome drug penetration limitations in the TME.
