Our previous work has shown that depletion of recombination signal-binding protein J (RBPJ) results in reduced cell growth in prostate cancer cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate the function of RBPJ in the chemoresistance of prostate cancer. The expression of RBPJ was quantified in docetaxel-resistant and parental prostate cancer cells. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were conducted...
Aristolochic acid nephropathy remains a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), however few treatment strategies exist. Emerging evidence has shown that H2 relaxin (RLX) possesses powerful antifibrosis and anti-apoptotic properties, therefore we aimed to investigate whether H2 relaxin can be employed to reduce AA-induced cell apoptosis. Human proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells exposed...
Bufalin, a major digoxin-like immunoreactive component of the Chinese medicine Chan Su, has been shown to exert a potential for anticancer activity against various human cancer cell lines in vitro. However, no detailed studies have so far been reported on its action on human gallbladder carcinoma cells. In this study, bufalin remarkably inhibited growth in human gallbladder cancer cells by decreasing...
CCAAT enhancer binding protein-α (C/EBP-α) is a transcript factor that regulates adipocyte differentiation and induces apoptosis in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vivo and in vitro. However, the effect of C/EBP-α on hepatocytes in vivo remains unknown. This study investigated whether C/EBP-α exerts different apoptotic effects on hepatocytes and HSCs in vitro and in vivo. An adenovirus vector-expressing...
