We investigated the possible transmission of heritable changes via the sperm, following preconceptional exposure of mice to bisphenol A (BPA), either alone or in combination with X-irradiation. Males were exposed for 8 weeks to BPA, X-rays or both agents, and mated to unexposed females. Pre- and postnatal development of the offspring of exposed males was examined. Both BPA alone and the combined exposure slightly affected postnatal development. Combined exposure induced two-fold higher postnatal mortality than BPA the alone, whereas BPA exposure caused reduced body weight and diminished sperm quality in F1 generation.

Combined Ribociclib and NU7026 administration enhances radio-sensitivity by inhibiting DNA repair in prostate cancer.

Radiosensitivity is critical for clinical outcomes and overall survival of prostate cancer patients treated with irradiation. Ribociclib and NU7026 have been reported as radiosensitizers in cancer cells, but which are inadequately understood in prostate cancer cells. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of ribociclib, NU7026, and their combination on the radiosensitivity of prostate cancer cells.

Hypoxia-induced radioresistance limits therapeutic success in cancer. In addition, p53 mutations are widespread in tumors including non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs), and they might modify the radiation response of hypoxic tumor cells. We therefore analyzed the DNA damage and inflammatory response in chronically hypoxic (1% O, 48 h) p53 null H358 NSCLC cells after X-ray exposure.

Sox2 and Oct4 dysregulations could significantly increase in the cancer stem cell (CSC) population in some cancer cells and resistance to common treatments. In this study, the synergistic effects of Sox2-Oct4 decoy oligodeoxynucleotides-encapsulated Niosomes-zinc hybrid nanocarriers along with X-irradiation conditions as a combinational therapy tool were investigated in the treatment of cancer-like stem cells (NTERA-2). The NTERA-2 cell line known as a cancer-like stem cell line was used in this investigation.

The main treatment modalities for breast cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and each treatment will bring different side effects. Design and synthesizing a novel nanostructure for chemo-radiotherapy has been proposed as an effective method in consideration to enhance the drug efficiency as well as improve the effect of radiotherapy. This study aimed to synthesize zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) coated with alginate conjugated with Doxorubicin (Dox) drug and investigate its effects along with X-irradiation on MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cell line.
