Research ArticleOpen accessNitric Oxide Donors with Therapeutic Strategic in Experimental Schistossomiasis MansoniWander Rogério Pavanelli, Jean Jerley Nogueira da Silva, Carolina Panis et al.Schistosomiasis, an immune disease, remains a major public health problem in endemic area. To determine the influence of Nitric Oxide (NO) on this disease, we tested two compounds (Trans-[Ru(bpy)2(NO)SO3](PF6)-PF6 and Na2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]-SNP, which releases NO when activated by biological reducing agents, in BALB/c mice infected subcutaneously by Schistosoma BH strains. The parasitic activity of NO-donors was evaluated in this model by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Feb 2015 · 7,852 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessCrosstalk between Oxidative Stress Signaling and HER2 Pathway in Breast CancerVanessa Jacob Victorino, Adriano Martin Felis Aranome, Fernanda Carolina de Campos et al.About 20% of breast cancer patients overexpress the Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2 (HER2), also known as ErbB2. HER2-overexpression is associated with enhanced tumor malignancy and its overexpression is related to specific target therapy against breast tumors and other cancers. HER2-mediated pathways in tumor cells act on behalf of the tumor conferring aggressive characteristics. Several reports demonstrated the occurrence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2015 · 8,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessThe Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1Î± Signaling Pathway and its Relation to Cancer and ImmunologyBruno R.B. Pires, Andre L. Mencalha, Gerson M. Ferreira et al.Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that is present in all metazoans from early embryonic development throughout adult life. It plays a major roles in the different stress responses that are triggered by low Oxygen (O2) levels and its expression is associated with cell survival. HIF-1 is a heterodimer protein that comprises the subunits HIF-1Î± and HIF-1Î². The … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2015 · 8,485 accessesView PDF Cite
