Abstract Cuproptosis, a newly discovered programmed cell death induced by copper ions, is associated with the progression and drug resistance of various tumors. Docetaxel plays vital role as first‐line chemotherapeutic agent for advanced prostate cancer; however, most patients end up cancer because inherent or acquired resistance. Herein, we examined cuproptosis in to docetaxel. We treated lines elesclomol–CuCl 2 , well performed analyses CCK8, colony formation tests, cycle flow assay,...

Docetaxel-based chemotherapy failure in advanced prostate carcinoma has partly been attributed to the resistance of cancer (PC) cells docetaxel-induced apoptosis. Hence, there is an urgent need identify mechanisms docetaxel chemoresistance and develop new combination therapies. miR-193a-5p level was evaluated by qPCR tissues cell lines, its expression also examined situ hybridization. PC line (PC3 cell) transfected with mimic or inhibitor, then apoptosis downstream genes Bach2 HO-1 were...

Androgen deprivation therapy is the primary strategy for treatment of advanced prostate cancer; however, after an initial regression, most patients will inevitably develop a fatal androgen-independent tumor. Therefore, understanding mechanisms transition to androgen independence cancer critical identify new ways treat older who are ineligible conventional chemotherapy. The effects 5-Aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) on viability and apoptosis androgen-dependent (LNCaP) (PC3) cell lines were...

A flavonoid fraction of Herba Epimedii, including eight glycoside compounds, epimedoside A, ikarisoside F, baohuoside II, sagittatoside B, 7-O-rhamnosyl icariside 2″-O-rhamnosyl and I, was isolated prepared from the leaves Epimedii. This study conducted to assess potential effect Epimedii on osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats. Rats received repeated administration a vehicle (ovariectomized), (7.5, 15, 30 mg/kg/d), ipriflavone (200 mg/kg/d) once day for 8 weeks, beginning 4 weeks after...

Previous studies found that metformin provided some renoprotection for diabetic renal damage. In the present study, we evaluated effects of different doses on expression tissue nephrin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model rats and possible mechanism underlying its protective effect kidney podocytes.A high-fat diet combined with a low dose streptozotocin was used to induce T2DM rats. Diabetic were treated 150, 300, or 500 mg/kg 8 weeks. At end urine blood samples collected measurement...

Abstract Splicing factor 3B subunit 4 (SF3B4) plays important functional roles not only in pre-mRNA splicing, but also the regulation of transcription, translation, and cell signaling, its dysregulation contributes to various diseases including Nager syndrome tumorigenesis. However, role SF3B4 underlying mechanisms clear renal carcinoma (ccRCC) remain obscure. In present study, we found that expression was significantly elevated ccRCC tissues negatively correlated with overall survival...

SIRT1 and FOXO1 play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, association between genetic polymorphisms susceptibility to type 2 DN (T2DN) has not been explored. In this study, a total 1066 patients with diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (413 without 653 DN) were enrolled. The genotypes three htSNPs (rs3818292, rs4746720, rs10823108) within two (rs2721068, rs17446614) determined by PCR-RFLP. HbA1C, LDL, HDL, TC, TG levels also examined. rs10823108 AA genotype was...

Background The renoprotective mechanisms of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist - metformin have not been stated clearly. We hypothesized that may ameliorate inflammation via AMPK interaction with critical inflammatory cytokines. aim this study was to observe the effects on expression nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) induced by high...

Sunitinib has been used as the main therapy to treat metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) it could function via suppressing tumor growth and angiogenesis. Yet most ccRCC tumors may still regrow due development of sunitinib-resistance, detailed mechanisms remain be further investigated. The angiopoietin family includes angiopoietin-1 angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT-1 -2). It was reported that estradiol regulates expression ANGPT-1, but not ANGPT-2, through estrogen receptor α (ERα) in an...
