The apoptosis-inducing activity towards leukemia and lymphoma cells in a cyanobacterial culture collection is not associated with mouse bioassay toxicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-08-06)Cyanobacteria (83 strains and seven natural populations) were screened for content of apoptosis (cell death)-inducing activity towards neoplastic cells of the immune (jurkat acute T-cell lymphoma) and hematopoetic (acute ... -
Cyanobacteria from terrestrial and marine sources contain apoptogens able to overcome chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-03)In this study, we investigated forty cyanobacterial isolates from biofilms, gastropods, brackish water and symbiotic lichen habitats. Their aqueous and organic extracts were used to screen for apoptosis-inducing activity ... -
Functional p53 is required for rapid restoration of daunorubicin-induced lesions of the spleen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-11)Background: The tumour suppressor and transcription factor p53 is a major determinant of the therapeutic response to anthracyclines. In healthy tissue, p53 is also considered pivotal for side effects of anthracycline ... -
Identification of Dynamic Changes in Proteins Associated with the Cellular Cytoskeleton after Exposure to Okadaic Acid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Exposure of cells to the diarrhetic shellfish poison, okadaic acid, leads to a dramatic reorganization of cytoskeletal architecture and loss of cell-cell contact. When cells are exposed to high concentrations of okadaic ... -
Pathological mechanisms in oral lichen planus : a atudy of apoptosis - regulatory proteins and risk markers for malignant transformation
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-05-04)Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease characterized by basal cell destruction and a subepithelial band-like mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate predominated by T cells. Molecular biological changes ... -
