Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEmetine produce Entamoeba histolytica Death by Inducing a Programmed Cell DeathJ.D. Villalba-Magdaleno, R. Rojas, C. Gómez et al.Amoebiasis is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. Although a number of antiamoebic agents are used for its treatment and the molecular targets of these drugs have been identified, the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that produce trophozoite death are little known. The present study dates the in vitro induction of programmed cell death (PCD) in E. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,211 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCo-Inhibitory Molecule Programmed Death-1 and its Ligands: A New Alternative Therapy for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection?A. Leon-Flores, P. Del Rio, G. Reyes-TeranChronic viral infections are characterized by the up-regulation of a set of immunomodulatory receptors. The over-expression of co-inhibitory molecules on T cells leads to a dysfunctional T cell response with an "exhausted" phenotype. Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) is a molecule that exerts an inhibitory signal on the T cell receptor when it binds to the PD-L1 or PD-L2 ligands present on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,962 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of ced-9 dsRNA on Caenorhabditis elegans and Meloidogyne incognitaRobert T. Gaeta, Abdellatif Bahaji, Glenda W. Polack, Alejandro Calderón-UrreaAbstract: Problem Statement: In metazoans Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is essential for proper development. Suppression of PCD is needed to guarantee cell survival and in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans the regulation of PCD is accomplished by the function of the ced-9 gene. Approach: In this work the use of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to knock-down ced-9 gene function was tested … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,452 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 2,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndications of Potential Toxic/Mutagenic Effects of World Trade Center Dust on Human Lung Cell CulturesConstantino G. Lambroussis, Barbara D. Soares, Sergio Perez et al.Problem statement: Respiratory complications have been linked with exposure to dust particulates after the tragedy of September 11th, 2001 at the World Trade Center (WTC) site. Approach: The purpose of these experiments was to investigate the extent of cellular damage resulting from WTC dust exposure. Results: This research project was conducted with human lung fibroblast cells exposed to WTC dust. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,394 accessesView PDF Cite
