Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydroartemisinin Attenuates HBV-Induced Proliferation and Migration in LO2 cells via EMT Pathway ModulationYingde Nong, Caifang Ma, Wei Huang et al.Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a derivative of artemisinin, possesses well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cellular alterations in LO2 cells and elucidated underlying molecular mechanisms. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured in HBV patients and analyzed for correlations with HBsAg, anti-HBs, and HBeAg. In vitro, LO2 cells were infected with clinical HBV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,079 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInitiatives to Improve the Quality of Life of HIV Positive Diagnosed Subjects: A Review of Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutics under the Light of Science and EthicsMario Enrique Molina, Jeremías Abou Medelej, Jorgelina Zucchi, Carlos ManasseroThe first cases of AIDS occurred about 1981. There are not fully appropriate therapeutic interventions for treating this medical condition. People who are diagnosed HIV-positive or with AIDS suffer a poor quality of life and receive medication that produces severe adverse reactions. We have analyzed a significant number of papers published in several countries on these topics, and we have … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 3 Aug 2017 · 9,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Atorvastatin on Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein-induced Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Human MacrophagesBensheng Liu, Huifan Li, Yan Wang, Li ZhangAtorvastatin (ATV), an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases. Mononuclear Macrophages (MMs) are critical immune cells involved in atherosclerosis progression, participating in processes such as foam cell formation, cytokine secretion, and the development of fibrous cap and lipid core. To further elucidate the mechanism by which ATV exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis through the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 18 Nov 2025 · 2,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHippocampal Pyramidal Cell Degeneration and Changes in Creb Protein in Datura stramonium Treated RatsPeter Etim Ekanem, Dare S. Sunday, Sunday Abba, Amanuel TesfayDatura Stramonium (DS) is a tropical shrub which is available worldwide. It has various uses and is often used to increase the intoxication of certain beverages. The seeds of this plant are very toxic but are commonly smoked in like manner as tobacco. The present study investigated the potential harmful effects of DS on pyramidal cells and CREB protein in … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2015 · 7,066 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPOXIC INFLAMMATION, A DEADLY BRIDGE TO MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION AND A FERTILE SOIL FOR CANCER PREVENTIONKambiz Afrasiabi, Robert Edwards, Jonathan Melekh-Shalom, Kehui WangThe interplay of the inflammatory microenvironment with its hypoxic niche and the potential mechanism by which they lead to malignant transformation has long been the subject of great controversy and continues to be an area of great interest today. In our previous studies we have examined this subject by using Gia2 knock out mice as the focus of our research. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegulation of Retinol Binding Protein 4 Expression and its Relation to Adipogenesis in Bovine AdipocytesMabrouk Ragab EL-Sabagh, Abd Eldaim Mabrouk AttiaAdipogenesis is of great importance in beef cattle. Recent findings indicate that glucose, a substrate for fatty acid biosynthesis and retinoic acid enhance adipogenesis in bovine intramuscular adipocytes. However, other recent findings indicate that Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) interferes with glucose uptake and utilization by rodents’ adipocytes. In this study we examined the regulation of RBP4 expression and its relation … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Distribution of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Normal and Lesioned Central Nervous System of Pleurodeles waltliiMarie Moftah, Marc Landry, Frederic Nagy, Jean-Marie CabelguenFibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including proliferation, migration, differentiation and neuronal survival. One of these growth factors, Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), is apparently implicated in the ability of the adult salamander (Pleurodeles waltlii) to recover locomotion following complete transection of the spinal cord. In a previous study, we reported up regulation of FGF2 … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2012 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
