Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine.
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ...
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 ...
Chronic Cadmium Exposure Alters Cardiac Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Heart of Sprague-Dawley Rat
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of chronic cadmium exposure in modulating cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the heart of rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 15 ppm CdCl2 in drinking ...
The plasticity of pancreatic cancer stem cells: implications in therapeutic resistance
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
The ever-growing perception of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a plastic state rather than a hardwired defined entity has evolved our understanding of the functional and biological plasticity of these elusive components in ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Validation of GATA-3 Suppression for Induction of Adipogenesis and Improving Insulin Sensitivity
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Impaired adipogenesis is associated with the development of insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). GATA Binding Protein 3 (GATA3) is implicated in impaired adipogenesis and the onset of insulin ...
Thiostrepton inhibits growth and induces apoptosis by targeting FoxM1/SKP2/MTH1 axis in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells
(
Taylor and Francis Group
, 2021 , Article)
Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in the etiology of many cancers, however, its role has not been elucidated in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-pre-ALL). In the ...
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, ...
F-box proteins in cancer stemness: An emerging prognostic and therapeutic target
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Cancer is a complex heterogenic disease with significant therapeutic challenges. The presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in cancer tissue orchestrates tumor growth, progression, and metastasis, the tumor heterogeneity, ...
The potential role of vitamin C in empowering cancer immunotherapy
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Vitamin C also known as L-ascorbic acid is a nutrient naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables and widely known for its potent antioxidant activity. Several studies have highlighted the importance of using high ...
Natural resorcylic acid lactones: A chemical biology approach for anticancer activity
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) are fungal polyketides that consist of a β-resorcylic acid residue (2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) embedded in a macrolactone ring. RALs exhibit a broad range of biological activities, including ...
