“…According to nasopharyngeal darcinoma, miR-29c could promote the apoptosis of cancer cells and increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy . In human lung cancer cells, matrine could reduce proliferation of cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and down-regulating the expression of BCL-2, author detected the expression of miR and found that the mechanism may be associated with the up-regulating of miR-29 c (Liu et al, 2014).…”

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev, 15 (8), 3471-3476 IntroductionThe incidence of bladder carcinoma is in the first in Chinese urological tumor, which includes the 70% non invasive cancer and 30% invasive cancer. The patients accompanied with systemic metastasis have poor prognosis and a lifetime risk of recurrence.Tumor-derived exosomes had been regarded as a good carrier of anti-tumor therapy for its advantages of tumor specific antigen recognition, easy to obtain. For example, exosomes from tumor cells treated by heat shock or genetic modification were associated with ODN-CpG adjuvants to deal with the tumor bearing mice, showing that it enhanced the antitumor activity of the secretion of exosomes (Chaput et al., 2004). Researches on exosomesderived miRNA indicated that it could be used as a new

“…The upregulation of Bax and downregulation of Bcl-2 can cause apoptosis of human colon cancer cells in mitochondrial apoptotic pathway (Chang et al, 2013). Our previous Western blotting results showed matrine can inhibit the protein expression of bcl-2, VEGF, HDAC1 and increase the protein expression of bax, down regulate the ratio of bcl-2/bax, promoting apotosis of A549 cancer cells, inhibiting the proliferation of A549 cancer cells (Liu et al, 2014). Kuraridin and nor-kurarinone isolated from Sophora flavescens can also induce apoptosis of human gastric adenocarcinoma SGC-7901 cells (Rasul et al, 2011).…”

“…Bcl-2 and Bax are two important proteins and play role in mitochondrial-mediated pathway (Huang et al, 2014). The ratio between Bcl-2 and Bax expression level determines whether cells respond to an apoptotic signal (Liu et al, 2014). In contrast to Bcl-2, Bax protein accumulation in high amounts in the cell initiates apoptosis.…”

Nowadays increasing effectiveness in cancer therapy and investigation of formation of new strategies that enhance antiproliferative activity against target organs has become a subject of interest. Although the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis can not be fully explained, it is known that cell suicide program existing in their memory genetically is activated by pathophysiological conditions and events such as oxidative stress. Low pressure (hypobaric) conditions that create hypoxia promote apoptosis by inhibiting cell cycling. In this study, determination of the effects of fractional hypobaric applications at different times on HeLa cells at cellular and molecular levels were targeted. Experiments were carried out under hypobaric conditions (35.2 kPa) in a specially designed hypobaric cabin including 2% O 2 and 98% N. Application of fractional hypobaric conditions was repeated two times for 3 hours with an interval of 24 hours. At the end of the implementation period cells were allowed to incubate for 24 hours for activation of repair mechanisms. Cell kinetic parameters such as growth rate (MTT) and apoptotic index were used in determination of the effect of hypobaric conditions on HeLa cells. Also in our study expression levels of the Bcl-2 gene family that have regulatory roles in apoptosis were determined by the RT-PCR technique to evaluate molecular mechanisms. The results showed that antiproliferative effect of hypobaric conditions on HeLa cells started three hours from the time of application and increased depending on the period of exposure. While there was a significant decrease in growth rate values, there was a significant increase in apoptotic index values (p<0.01). Also molecular studies showed that hypobaric conditions caused a significant increase in expression level of proapoptotic gene Bax and significant decrease in antiapoptotic Bfl-1. Consequently fractional application of hypobaric conditions on HeLa cell cultures increased both antiproliferative and apoptotic effects and these effects were triggered by the Bax gene.
