This cross-sectional study was carried out on adult patients referring to the GI clinic of the hospitals affiliated to Babol University of Medical Sciences, Iran. New cases diagnosed with gastritis, peptic ulcer or gastric cancer were included. Endoscopic-guided gastric biopsies were examined and <i>H. pylori</i> positive colonies were analyzed to determine the expression of <i>babA</i> and <i>sabA</i> genes, utilizing specific primers and the SYBR Green dye. Among 175 patients with mean age of 51.6±15.6 years, 101 (57.7%) of the individuals tested positive for H. pylori infection.

Consequently, we decided to investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) and Abatacept in an experimental model of acute colitis.

There is a growing interest in using herbal products/analogs as multi-component agents (as anticancer agents and immunomodulators) for cancer treatment. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to explore the anticancer and immunomodulatory activity of P19, an analog of parthenin in ALL. P19 was reported to exhibit anticancer efficacy by triggering apoptotic signaling events in human leukaemia HL-60 cells by significant NO production. In contrast to this finding, ROS and NO were not required for P19-mediated apoptosis in Raji cells. The mechanism of action of P19 was observed to be cancer cell lineage dependent. P19 demonstrated very effective anticancer properties against ALL (IC<sub>50</sub> 3µM). Molecular investigations revealed that P19 induced mitochondrion mediated apoptosis by Bax localization to mitochondria and enhanced cytosolic calcium in the cytoplasm. Further activation of the caspase 3, caspase 8 and PARP cleavage suggested the involvement of the caspase-mediated apoptosis. Anti-proliferative activity revealed the telomerase inhibition and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase after P19 treatment.

OX40L interactions have been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for treating infectious and non-infectious diseases. The main purpose of this study was to determine the potency of two novel resins MBI and MEP for the purification of OX40L-IgG fusion protein and the biological activities of this OX40L-IgG fusion protein. The biological activity of the OX40L-IgG purified by these resins compared with protein A sepharose resin. Mice treated with the same doses of the OX40L purified by the three resins showed a significant delay in tumor growth compared to the controls injected with PBS. Mice treated with the OX40L purified by MBI resin showed a significant delay in tumor cell (CT26) growth compared with mice injected with OX40L purified by other resins.</p>","PeriodicalId":14152,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine","volume":"12 4","pages":"335-349"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11240058/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141616331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
