Sanguinarine Induces Apoptosis in Papillary Thyroid Cancer Cells via Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species.
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Sanguinarine (SNG), a natural compound with an array of pharmacological activities, has promising therapeutic potential against a number of pathological conditions, including malignancies. In the present study, we have ...
Endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress drive endothelial dysfunction induced by high selenium
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Selenium is an essential trace element important for human health. A balanced intake is, however, crucial to maximize the health benefits of selenium. At physiological concentrations, selenium mediates antioxidant, ...

(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
To date, natural products are widely used as pharmaceutical agents for many human
diseases and cancers. One of the most popular natural products that have been studied for anticancer
properties is thymoquinone (TQ). As ...
Targeting DNA Repair Pathways in Hematological Malignancies.
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
DNA repair plays an essential role in protecting cells that are repeatedly exposed to endogenous or exogenous insults that can induce varying degrees of DNA damage. Any defect in DNA repair mechanisms results in multiple ...
BCL-2 Inhibitor Venetoclax Induces Autophagy-Associated Cell Death, Cell Cycle Arrest, and Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer Cells.
(
Dove Medical Press
, 2020 , Article)
Venetoclax (VCX) is a selective BCL-2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. However, the mechanisms of anti-cancer effect of VCX either as a monotherapy or in combination with other chemotherapeutic ...
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress-Generated Extracellular Vesicles (Microparticles) Self-Perpetuate ER Stress and Mediate Endothelial Cell Dysfunction Independently of Cell Survival.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article)
Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognized as biomarkers and effectors of endothelial dysfunction, the initiating step of cardiovascular abnormalities. Among these EVs, microparticles (MPs) are vesicles directly ...
Brief Report: Polymorphisms in TNF-α/TNFR1 Pathway Genes Are Associated With CD4+ T-Cell Recovery in HIV-1–Infected Individuals on Antiretroviral Therapy
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2021 , Article)
Background:
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is an important hallmark of HIV-1 treatment, enabling viral load suppression to undetectable levels and CD4+ T-cell recovery. However, some individuals do not recover the CD4+ ...
Gene Expression Profiling and Protein Analysis Reveal Suppression of the C-Myc Oncogene and Inhibition JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling by Thymoquinone in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Overexpression of c-Myc plays an essential role in leukemogenesis and drug resistance,
making c-Myc an attractive target for cancer therapy. However, targeting c-Myc directly is impossible,
and c-Myc upstream regulator ...
