Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Glioblastoma is one of the most combative astrocytoma that is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This resistance makes it very difficult to treat. However, researches have shown that nanoparticles especially C60 hydrofullerene have antioxidant and anticancer activity. The effect of C60 hydrofullerene in cancer has been extensively studied; however, the potential regulation of autophagy and modulation of the Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) gene has not been addressed in glioblastomas. Glioblastoma U-373 cell was treated with 0.5 µM of C60 hydrofullerene and/or 1 mM of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 24 hours. This study demonstrated that C60 hydrofullerene and H2O2 significantly …

The Extraordinary Design Of The Bombardier Beetle: A Classic Example Of Biomimetics, Andy C. Mcintosh, Joseph Lawrence Jul 2018

The Extraordinary Design Of The Bombardier Beetle: A Classic Example Of Biomimetics, Andy C. Mcintosh, Joseph Lawrence

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

The innocuous looking bombardier beetle is one of the most remarkable creatures in the insect world. This tiny insect (1-1.5 cms long) is able to fight off any spider, frog, ant or bird that comes too close, by blasting the attacker with a powerful jet of hot, toxic fluid. Furthermore, the beetle can aim its weapon in any direction (even over its head) with pinpoint accuracy, and can reach distances of up to 20 cm with its spray. The bombardier beetle is rare in Europe but common in Africa, Asia and the warmer parts of the Americas, and in order …


The Effect Of Hydrogen Peroxide On Leishmania Amazonensis Promastigotes, Debra Eluobaju May 2015

The Effect Of Hydrogen Peroxide On Leishmania Amazonensis Promastigotes, Debra Eluobaju

DePaul Discoveries

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by the parasite Leishmania. The disease causes lesions to the skin and face; when visceral it becomes fatal to its host. Leishmanias are transmitted through the female blood-sucking sand fly into its mammalian host, where it infects macrophages. Within the macrophages, Leishmania differentiates from a motile, rod shaped, nonvirulent promastigotes to a non-motile, spherical shaped, virulent amastigotes. Differentiation is due to the high temperature of the mammalian host body, in addition to the low pH of the macrophage. In vitro, the cells are differentiated in Graces medium (pH 5.3) at 33◦C. I investigated whether …

Prevention Of Hydrogen Peroxide And Cisplatininduced Apoptosis By Intracellular Catalaseoverexpression, H. Barbaros Oral, Andrew J.T. George, Dorian O. Haskard Jan 2000

Prevention Of Hydrogen Peroxide And Cisplatininduced Apoptosis By Intracellular Catalaseoverexpression, H. Barbaros Oral, Andrew J.T. George, Dorian O. Haskard

Turkish Journal of Biology

Apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2 ) was investigated in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells, and compared to apoptosis induced by cisplatin (25 µM), a well-established apoptosis-inducing agent. In preliminary experiments, CHO cells were treated with low concentrations of H_2O_2 (250-500 µM) continuously or for 3 hours, followed by washing and further incubation in complete growth medium for 1-10 days. Fluorescence microscopy of acridine orange-stained cells indicated morphological changes of apoptosis. Similar changes were observed in cisplatin-treated cells. DNA-laddering also revealed that DNA fragmentation occurred in both adherent and non-adherent cells by day 2. To prevent H_2O_2 -mediated apoptosis, the …
