( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)To the Editor We thank Dr. Luis Rafael Moscote-Salazar and Dr. Amit Agrawal for their interest in our recently published article in the Journal.1 The authors do not raise any concerns about the scientific facts and the ... -
Metformin attenuates V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway in Melanoma: In Vivo and In Vitro Studies
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with a high rate of metastasis to other organs. Recent studies specified the overexpression of V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) and Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) ... -
MOLECULAR FEATURES OF TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER STEM CELLS: A GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING ANALYSIS OF MDA-MB-231 CELLS
(2021 , Master Thesis)Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a chemoresistant subtype of female breast tumors. Chemoresistance is attributed to the presence of long-lived cancer stem cells (CSCs) responsible for therapy failure. This study ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Adiponectin-Induced Attenuation of Mechanical Stretch-Mediated Vascular Remodeling
( hindawi , 2020 , Article)Hypertension induces vascular hypertrophy, which changes blood vessels structurally and functionally, leading to reduced tissue perfusion and further hypertension. It is also associated with dysregulated levels of the ... -
A novel approach of encapsulating curcumin and succinylated derivative in mannosylated-chitosan nanoparticles
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Curcumin (CUR) manifests anti-colon cancer activity but suffers from low solubility, bioavailability, and instability, rendering it not as effective as its chemotherapeutic cousins. Here, we conjugate CUR to succinic ... -
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition improves endoplasmic reticulum stress-impaired endothelial cell angiogenic response: A critical role for cell survival
( Spandidos publications , 2021 , Article)Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contributes to endothelial dysfunction, which is the initial step in atherogenesis. Blockade of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)1B, a negative regulator of insulin receptors that is ... -
Proteomic insight towards key modulating proteins regulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor involved in ovarian carcinogenesis and chemoresistance
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Gynecological malignancies pose a severe threat to female lives. Ovarian cancer (OC), the most lethal gynecological malignancy, is clinically presented with chemoresistance and a higher relapse rate. Several studies have ... -
Reduced Cardiotoxicity of Ponatinib-Loaded PLGA-PEG-PLGA Nanoparticles in Zebrafish Xenograft Model.
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the new generation of anti-cancer drugs with high potential against cancer cells' proliferation and growth. However, TKIs are associated with severe cardiotoxicity, limiting their ... -
Regulation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in cancer and cancer stem cells of gynecological malignancies: An update on signaling pathways
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)Gynecological malignancies are a female type of cancers that affects the reproductive system. Cancer metastasis or recurrence mediated by cellular invasiveness occurs at advanced stages of cancer progression. Cancer Stem ... -
The role of NF-κB and AhR transcription factors in lead-induced lung toxicity in human lung cancer A549 cells.
( Taylor & Francis , 2019 , Article)Lead (Pb) is recognized as the first heavy metal of the top six toxic air pollutants threatening human health and the second hazardous substance. Pb exposure is associated with lung impairment and high incidences of lung ... -
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 Role of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP)-1B in Cardiovascular Disease and Its Interplay with Insulin Resistance.
