Carnosol Induces p38-Mediated ER Stress Response and Autophagy in Human Breast Cancer Cells
( Frontiers , 2022 , Article)We recently reported that carnosol induces ROS-dependent autophagy and apoptosis in breast cancer cells. We also reported that carnosol inhibits breast cancer cell migration, invasion, and in ovo tumor growth, as well as ... -
Effect of Water Stress (Drought and Waterlogging) on Medicinal Plants
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Book chapter)Climate change causes different biotic and abiotic stresses to the plants, water stress being one of them. Water stress includes water-logging (flooding) and water deficit (drought). These stresses restrict the plant’s ... -
Epac in vascular smooth muscle cells
( MDPI , 2020 , Article Review)Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are major components of blood vessels. They regulate physiological functions, such as vascular tone and blood flow. Under pathological conditions, VSMCs undergo a remodeling process ... -
Ethanolic extract of Origanum syriacum L. leaves exhibits potent anti-breast cancer potential and robust antioxidant properties
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer overall. In women, BC is the most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Triple-negative BC (TNBC) is the most aggressive BC, ... -
Flavin Oxidase-Induced ROS Generation Modulates PKC Biphasic Effect of Resveratrol on Endothelial Cell Survival.
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Dietary intake of natural antioxidants is thought to impart protection against oxidative-associated cardiovascular diseases. Despite many in vivo studies and clinical trials, this issue has not been conclusively resolved. ... -
Fractionation and phytochemical composition of an ethanolic extract of Ziziphus nummularia leaves: antioxidant and anticancerous properties in human triple negative breast cancer cells
( Frontiers Media , 2024 , Article)Natural products have long been utilized in traditional medicine as remedies to improve health and treat illnesses, and have had a key role in modern drug discovery. Recently, there has been a revived interest in the search ... -
Pyocyanin pigment from Pseudomonas aeruginosa modulates innate immune defenses in macrophages
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a well-known opportunistic pathogen. The gram-negative bacillus, commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections, utilizes the host's impaired immune responses to establish ... -
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer pathogenesis and therapy: An update on the role of ROS in anticancer action of benzophenanthridine alkaloids
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Reactive oxygen species play crucial role in biological homeostasis and pathogenesis of human diseases including cancer. In this line, now it has become evident that ROS level/concentration is a major factor in the growth, ... -
Resveratrol Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Prevents Mitochondrial Damage Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
( MDPI , 2020 , Article)Despite their wide industrial use, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a high toxic potential while concerns of their health-related risks are still present, urging additional in vivo clarification studies. ... -
Sanguinarine mediated apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via generation of reactive oxygen species and suppression of JAK/STAT pathway
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Effective treatment of lung cancer remains a significant clinical challenge due to its multidrug resistance and side effects of the current treatment options. The high mortality associated with this malignancy indicates ... -
