The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-tumor effect of sesamol (SML), a nutritional phenolic compound of sesame, in solid Ehrlich carcinoma (SEC) model in mice and its ability to enhance doxorubicin (DOX) anti-tumor activity. Selleckchem SNX-5422 Moreover, we analyzed the ability of SML to protect against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. SML (70 mg/kg), DOX (2 mg/kg) and their combination were given to mice bearing SEC for 21 day. The mRNA level of Fas, FasL, TRAILR2, TRAIL, caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were assessed by qPCR. Tumor and cardiac tissues were examined for histopathological changes by hematoxylin and eosin. Active caspase-3 was scored by immunohistochemical analysis. SML treatment significantly decreased solid tumor size and weight. In addition, SML enhanced DOX anti-tumor activity. SML treatment either alone or in combination with DOX induced upregulation of Fas/FasL and TRAILR2/TRAIL gene expression. Moreover, SML increased caspase-3 protein and gene expressions and decreased Bcl-2 gene expression. SML upregulates death receptors expression and enhances apoptosis induction in tumor cells that may explain its anti-tumor activity. Not only that, but SML also enhances DOX anti-tumor activity and attenuates its cardiotoxicity.

Climate change models predict that atmospheric carbon dioxide [ CO 2 ] levels will be between 700 and 900 ppm within the next 80 y. Despite this, the direct physiological effects of exposure to slightly elevated atmospheric CO 2 (as compared with ∼ 410 ppm experienced today), especially when exposures extend from preconception to adulthood, have not been thoroughly studied. In this study we aimed to assess the respiratory structure and function effects of long-term exposure to 890 ppm CO 2 from preconception to adulthood using a mouse model. We exposed mice to CO 2 ( ∼ 890 ppm ) from . To the best of our knowledge, this study, for the first time, shows that long-term exposure to environmentally relevant levels of CO 2 can impact respiratory function in the mouse. https//doi.org/10.1289/EHP7305.

The filaggrin protein is important for skin barrier structure and function. Loss-of-function (null) mutations in the filaggrin gene may increase dermal absorption of chemicals. The objective of the study was to clarify if dermal absorption of chemicals differs depending on genotype. We performed a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based genetic screen for loss-of-function mutations ( null) in 432 volunteers from the general population in southern Sweden and identified 28 null carriers.
