The main goal of adequate organ preservation is to avoid further cellular metabolism during the phase of ischemia. However, modern preservation solutions do rarely achieve this target. In donor organs hypoxia and ischemia induce a broad spectrum of pathologic molecular mechanisms favoring primary
BACKGROUND
The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) participates in preserving the expression and activity of various oncoproteins, including hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and Akt. Deguelin is a rotenoid with antitumor activities. We investigated whether the antitumor
Gastric cancer is often diagnosed in locally advanced or metastatic stages, which preludes a poor prognosis. As only 10% of patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with chemotherapy survive 2 years, new approaches for preventing and controlling the disease are required. We therefore, assessed
Deguelin is a rotenoid isolated from several plant species, which has been reported to have chemopreventive effects in skin, mammary, colon and lung cancers. The effects of deguelin on the proliferation and apoptosis of hepatic cancer cells were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis.
