1-Acetyl-3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydro(1H)pyrazoles: Exhibiting anticancer activity through intracellular ROS scavenging and the mitochondria-dependent death pathway
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2014)
A series of 17 analogs of 1-acetyl-4,5-dihydro(1H)pyrazoles (JP-1 to JP-17) bearing two aromatic rings at positions 3 and 5, either of which ought to be heterocyclic, were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative ...
APE1/Ref-1 as an emerging therapeutic target for various human diseases: Phytochemical modulation of its functions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, which repairs oxidative base damage caused by endogenous and exogenous agents. APE1 acts as a ...
P47 phox2/2 Mice Are Compromised in Expansion and Activation of CD8 + T Cells and Susceptible to Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2014)
Macrophage activation of NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) is suggested to kill Trypanosoma cruzi that causes Chagas disease. However, the role of NOX2 in generation of protective immunity and whether ...
Oxidative Stress Events and Neuronal Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease: Focus on APE1/Ref-1-Mediated Survival Strategies
(Springer, 2014)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an important public health problem which affects millions of people worldwide. The major pathological hallmarks associated with AD are the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) in senile plaques and ...
Association of GABRA6 1519 T>C (rs3219151) and Synapsin II (rs37733634) gene polymorphisms with the development of idiopathic generalized epilepsy
(Elsevier, 2014)
The idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is a neurological disorder which accounts for approximately 30% of all epilepsy cases. Patients identified with IGE syndromes have pharmacoresponsive epilepsies without abnormal ...
Association of the genetic variants of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Saudi population
(Humana Press Inc., 2014)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic degenerative disease, phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, characterized by high levels of glucose and metabolic complications. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) ...
Breast cancer MicroRNAs: Clinical biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment strategies
(Springer India, 2014)
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in females that accounts for the highest cancer-specific deaths worldwide. Although recent advances in clinical management significantly reduced the mortality rate in breast ...
In silico disease models of breast cancer
(Springer India, 2014)
Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease as a consequence of multiple cells and genetic aberrations. It is the second leading cause of death among women in Western countries. It has been reported that approximately ...
Association of Serum Trace Elements and Minerals with Genetic Generalized Epilepsy and Idiopathic Intractable Epilepsy
(Springer New York LLC, 2014)
Certain minerals and trace elements are essential for the development of healthy nervous system. Altered serum levels of these elements may lead to the development of various diseases including epilepsy. The present study ...
Association of -1382A>G CCL11 gene variant with ischemic stroke, its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke in a South Indian population
(Medknow Publications, 2014)
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the GG genotype is a significant risk factor for ischemic as well as hemorrhagic stroke. Further, the frequency of the GG genotype was observed to be higher in hemorrhagic ...
