We have determined the gene expression of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) metabolizing enzymes (SphK1, SphK2, SGPL1, SGPP1, SGPP2, PPAP2A, PPAP2B, and PPAP2C) by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues of 50 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Expression of SphK1 and SGPP1 genes was up-regulated significantly in 70% and 75% OSCC tumors respectively. Importantly, expression of SphK2 and PPAP2B was down-regulated in the tumor tissues of 70% OSCC patients. Expression of SphK2 and PPAP2B negatively correlated with tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging and tumor volume respectively. Furthermore, LPP1 is an independent predictor of TNM staging and lymph node ratio.
In the present time Natural products are considered to be symbols of protection in comparison to the synthetic product that are regarded as unsafe to human life and environment. Although a large number of synthetic drugs are being added to the world of present pharmacopoeia, but still no system of medicine in the world has been able to solve all the health problems, which include diseases like Cancer. Therefore the search for innovative therapeutic constituents from plants is genuine and urgent. In India, there is an ocean of knowledge about medicinal plants and rich medicinal flora, but still only a few pearls have been searched as therapeutic agents. There are large numbers of original plants left which have not been investigated thoroughly from modern scientific view or their healing values have not been known. Thus there is an insistent need for systematic phytochemical examination of those plants which have not been investigated scientifically. More research can be done to investigate the unknown and unexplored potential of plants. Further analysis of plants (active compounds) can be carried out by way of making use of different analytical methods such as HPTLC, HPLC, NMR and UV spectrophotometer analysis or computer based drug designing.
At the present time animal cell culture is more significant and multifarious application tool for current research streams. A lot of field assorted from animal cell culture such: stem cell biology, IVF technology, cancer cell biology, monoclonal antibody production, recombinant protein production, gene therapy, vaccine manufacturing, novel drug selection and improvement. In this review conclude animal cell culture as well as its requirement
Background: Resistance to treatment represents the 'big' problem and the considerable improvement in survival rates still remains a researcher's dream. Thus, continued research efforts are required to make treatments more personalized, to minimize side effects and improve overall survival and to also have an insight in toxico-genomics. Indeed proof of facts about medicinal plants worldwide and rich Indian medicinal flora, Objective: in the present investigation attempts to evaluate antimicrobials and anticancer therapeutic properties of isolated constituents from Withania somnifera (ASHWANGANDHA) Part Used Leaves, Aegle marmeleos (BEL) Part Used Leaves, Azadirachta indica (NEEM) Part Used Leaves, Ocimum sanctum (TULASI) Part Used Leaves, Method: Hydro alcoholic (1:1) Extracts were evaluated against cancer cell lines i.e. A549 (Lung carcinoma), PA-1 (Ovarian cancer) and MCF-7 (Breast cancer), with standard as Doxorubicin. Moreover the antimicrobial activity on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus coagulans and one Gram-negative-Escherichia coli, human pathogenic bacteria; and three fungal strains-Aspergillus niger, Tricoderma viride and Fusarium oxysporum. Result: The results showed significant association of phytochemicals on inhibition of test bacteria and fungi with significant p value p< 0.05, except For Tricoderma viride No Association Was Found P>0.05.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
