Algae-derived bioactive compounds with anti-lung cancer potential
( MDPI , 2020 , Article Review)Lung cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Natural molecules with anti-lung cancer potential are of a great interest and considered as very promising alternative to substitute or enhance the efficiency of ... -
Anti-hypertrophic effect of Na+/H+ exchanger-1 inhibition is mediated by reduced cathepsin B
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Previous studies have established the role of Na+/H+ exchanger isoform-1 (NHE1) and cathepsin B (Cat B) in the development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (CH). Both NHE1 and Cat B are activated under acidic conditions ... -
Biotechnology content in pharmacy curricula: Focus on Arab Countries
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Introduction: Pharmaceutical biotechnology involves using the principles of biotechnology to develop drugs. With the rapid increase in biopharmaceutical products being developed and approved for use, educating pharmacy ... -
The Efficacy of Etoposide on H9c2 Cardiomyoblasts Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardiotoxicity
( OMICS International , 2015 , Article)Background: Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used anticancer drug, has been associated with cardiotoxicity. Recently, DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has been attributed to topoisomerase II (TOPII)-β expression and activity. In our ... -
Empagliflozin inhibits angiotensin II-induced hypertrophy in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts through inhibition of NHE1 expression
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Diabetes mellitus (DM)-induced cardiac morbidities have been the leading cause of death among diabetic patients. Recently, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors including empagliflozin (EMPA), which have been ... -
Evaluating the effects of sodium glucose co-transporter -2 inhibitors from a renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system perspective in patients infected with COVID-19: contextualizing findings from the dapagliflozin in respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19 study
( Springer , 2022 , Article Review)Numerous studies demonstrate parallels between CVD, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and COVID-19 pathology, which accentuate pre-existing complications in patients infected with COVID-19 and potentially exacerbate the infection ... -
Heme Oxygenase Isoform 1 Regresses Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Through Regressing Sodium Proton Exchanger Isoform 1 Activity
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference)Background: Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is a worldwide problem and an independent risk factor that predisposes the heart to failure. Enhanced activity or expression of the sodium proton exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) has ... -
Inhibition of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinase Attenuates Cell Migration and Proliferation of the Human Lung Adenocarcinoma through Phospho-GSK-3b and Osteopontin
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference)Background Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women and it is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Lung cancer can be divided into two broad categories: non-small cell lung cancer ... -
Inhibition of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase attenuates cell migration and proliferation of the human lung adenocarcinoma through phospho-GSK-3β and osteopontin
( Springer-Verlag , 2016 , Article)p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90RSK) constitutes a family of serine/threonine kinases that have been shown to be involved in cell proliferation of various malignancies via direct or indirect effects on the cell-cycle machinery. ... -
Inhibition of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase potentiates cisplatin activity in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells
( Wiley , 2020 , Article)© 2020 Royal Pharmaceutical Society Aim: Cisplatin is a standard treatment approach against lung adenocarcinoma. Resistance to cisplatin and the toxic side effects of cisplatin continue to remain a challenge. Combining ... -
Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 induced osteopontin expression in cardiomyocytes involves NFAT3/Gata4
( Springer-Verlag , 2015 , Article)Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional glycophosphoprotein, has been reported to contribute to the development and progression of cardiac remodeling and hypertrophy. Cardiac-specific OPN knockout mice were protected against ... -
Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1-induced osteopontin expression facilitates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
( Public Library of Science , 2015 , Article)Enhanced expression and activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) has been implicated in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in various experimental models. The upregulation of NHE1 was correlated with an increase in osteopontin ... -
The Neurogenic Inflammation Mediator Endothelin-1 Causes Human Skin Barrier Disruption in Atopic Dermatitis via an ETAR/TRPA1-Axis
( John Wiley and Sons , 2025 , Article)Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, relapsing inflammatory skin disease driven by an immune imbalance, microbial dysbiosis, and skin barrier impairment, culminating in (neurogenic) inflammation and itch. We ... -
p90 ribosomal S6 kinase: a potential therapeutic target in lung cancer
( BioMed Central , 2016 , Article)A global survey of cancer has shown that lung cancer is the most common cause of the new cancer cases and cancer deaths in men worldwide. The mortality from lung cancer is more than the combined mortality from breast, ... -
The Role of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)-Induced Cardiotoxicity
( Springer , 2023 , Article Review)Targeted therapy, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has been approved to manage various cancer types. However, TKI-induced cardiotoxicity is a limiting factor for their use. This issue has raised the need for ... -
The Cardiovascular Benefits of Empagliflozin, A Sodium Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitor: Is NHE1 a Viable Target?
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Empagliflozin (EMPA), an SGLT2 inhibitor (with a low affinity for SGLT1) has attracted much attention due to a recent clinical trial, the Empagliflozin, Cardiovascular Outcomes, and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes (EMPA-REG ... -
The Cellular Interplay Between CD44 and Na+/H+ Exchanger1 in Cardiac Remodeling
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference)Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is a characteristic feature of cardiac remodeling which, if left untreated, progresses to heart failure. Cardiac fibroblasts, the major cellular component of the myocardium, ...
