TcI isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi exploit the antioxidant network for enhanced intracellular survival in macrophages and virulence in mice
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)
Trypanosoma cruzi species is categorized into six discrete typing units (TcI to TcVI) of which TcI is most abundantly noted in the sylvatic transmission cycle and considered the major cause of human disease. In our study, ...
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 ...
Editorial: Signal Transduction Inhibitors as Promising Anticancer Agents
(Hindawi, 2015)
Cancer is a group of diseases sharing common features like unrestrictive growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis; however the basic signal transduction pathways are deregulated to such an extent that every cancer case itself ...
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 ...
Oxidative stress and inflammation in cardiovascular diseases: Two sides of the same coin
(Springer India, 2015)
Globally, the major cause of long- term disability and death is an ?epidemiologic transition? from infectious diseases and malnutrition complications to non-communicable chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease (CVD), ...
Synthesis of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones and their mechanistic interventions on anticancer activity
(2013)
Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of a series of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones is reported for the first time. Compounds 9d, 9n and 9o in the series show encouraging in vitro anticancer activity with low micromolar ...
Association of CYP2C19*2 and ALDH1A1*1/*2 variants with disease outcome in breast cancer patients: results of a global screening array
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Purpose: Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (adjuvant chemotherapy) are commonly used to treat breast cancer patients. Variation in the genes involved in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of these drugs plays an important ...
Association of APOE (E2, E3 and E4) gene variants and lipid levels in ischemic stroke, its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke in a South Indian population
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2016)
In the present study we evaluated the association of APOE (E2/E3/E4) polymorphism with ischemic stroke (n = 620), its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke (n = 250) in a South Indian population from Telangana. The genotypes ...
Assessment of soybean inhibitor as a biopesticide against melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett)
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017)
In the current study, the soybean trypsin?chymotrypsin inhibitor (Bowman?Birk Inhibitor, SBBI) was tested against Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), a major pest of cucurbit crops. Bioassays conducted using different ...
Association of elevated levels of C-reactive protein with breast cancer, breast cancer subtypes, and poor outcome
(Mosby Inc., 2018)
Background and Purpose: Inflammation and caner are linked in a bidirectional manner. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important inflammatory marker. The aim of the study was to test whether the inflammatory marker, CRP at ...
