Background: After breast cancer, uterine cervical neoplasms is the most common cancer in women. It is believed that genetic factors are effective in developing cancer. Bcl-2 is a well-known anti-apoptosis gene that increases cell viability without stimulating effect on cellular proliferation. Today it attempts to use natural compounds to control or treat diseases. Carotenoids are one of these compounds. Deinoxanthin is a carotenoid isolated from Deinococcus radiodurans. Since this bacterium has a unique ability to withstand radiation, and radiation is a well-known cause of cancer carotenoid synthesized by bacterium is worthwhile. The aim of study is evaluating the effect of deinoxanthin on the expression of Bcl-2 in Hela cell line. Methods: Active culture of bacteria was purchased from Genetic and Biological Reserve of Iran then deinoxanthin was extracted. Hela was prepared of Pasteur Institute of Iran and cultured. Cells were divided into two treatment and control groups. Deinoxanthin was affected on the treatment group and its toxicity was measured using MTT. Real-time ­PCR was used to measure gene expression. RNA was extracted from two groups and cDNA was made. Results: Real-time PCR showed the anti-apoptotic expression of Bcl-2 decreased by 4/85 and given that p-value of 0/05 was (p-value=0) this decrease is significant. Conclusion: Regarding the results of Real-time PCR it can be concluded deinoxanthin extract has an inhibitory effect on the uterine cancer cell line has an inhibitory effect after 48 hours and the amount of anti-apoptotic expression of Bcl-2 has significantly decreased (p-value=0).

Background: After breast cancer, cervix neoplasm is the most common disease among young women. Nowadays, natural substances are used in the treatment of diseases, because of the known side effects of the chemical drugs. Dunaliella is a green alga that lives in the saltwater lakes of Iran and is abundant in antioxidant substances. This paper aimed to study the effect of Dunaliella extract on the expression of the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 gene in Hela cell line. Expression of this gene is increased during cancer. It is expected that gene expression will be reduced if the alga extract is effective. Methods: Hela was prepared from the Center for Genetic and Biological Reserves of Iran and cultured. After culture, cells were divided into two treatment and control groups. Different concentrations of algae extract were applied to the treatment group for 48 hours. Then its toxicity was measured using MTT assay and IC50 was determined. RNA was extracted from cells of two groups, to determine the relative amount of gene expression at a concentration of IC50. Then Real-time PCR was used. Results: The result of Real-time PCR showed that the relative expression of BCL-2, in treatment group cells that were affected by algae extract, was four times lower than the control group. Since the P-value is less than 0.05 (P-value = 0), this decrease is significant. Conclusion: After 48 hours, at a concentration of IC50 of algae extract, the relative expression of BCL-2 was four times lower than control group.

Aims: The present study was conducted to examine the inhibitory effects of synthesized sulfonylhydrazones on the expression of CD73 (ecto-5′-NT). Background: CD73 (ecto-5′-NT) represents the most significant class of ecto-nucleotidases which are mainly responsible for dephosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate to adenosine. Inhibition of CD73 played an important role in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, precancerous syndromes, and some other diseases associated with CD73 activity. Objective: Keeping in view the significance of CD73 inhibitor in the treatment of cervical cancer, a series of sulfonylhydrazones (3a-3i) derivatives synthesized from 3-formylchromones were evaluated. Methods: All sulfonylhydrazones (3a-3i) were evaluated for their inhibitory activity towards CD73 (ecto-5′-NT) by the malachite green assay and their cytotoxic effect was investigated on HeLa cell line using MTT assay. Secondly, most potent compound was selected for cell apoptosis, immunofluorescence staining and cell cycle analysis. After that, CD73 mRNA and protein expression were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results: Among all compounds, 3h, 3e, 3b, and 3c were found the most active against rat-ecto-5′-NT (CD73) enzyme with IC50 (µM) values of 0.70 ± 0.06 µM, 0.87 ± 0.05 µM, 0.39 ± 0.02 µM and 0.33 ± 0.03 µM, respectively. These derivatives were further evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against cancer cell line (HeLa). Compound 3h and 3c showed the cytotoxicity at IC50 value of 30.20 ± 3.11 µM and 86.02 ± 7.11 µM, respectively. Furthermore, compound 3h was selected for cell apoptosis, immunofluorescence staining and cell cycle analysis which showed promising apoptotic effect in HeLa cells. Additionally, compound 3h was further investigated for its effect on expression of CD73 using qRT-PCR and western blot. Conclusion: Among all synthesized compounds (3a-3i), Compound 3h (E)-N'-((6-ethyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl) methylene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonohydrazide was identified as most potent compound. Additional expression studies conducted on HeLa cell line proved that this compound successfully decreased the expression level of CD73 and thus inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.

This work focuses on the design, synthesis and evaluation of imine-containing heterocyclic and acyclic compounds with special focus on their bioactivity against parasitic protozoans (P. falciparum and T. brucei) - given the context of drug resistance in the treatment of malaria and Human African sleeping sickness and the fact that several bioactive organic compounds have been reported to possess the imino group. Starting from 2-aminopyridine, novel #-alkylated-5-bromo-7-azabenzimidazoles and substituted 5-bromo-1-(carbamoylmethy)-7-azabenzimidazole derivatives were prepared, and their bioactivity against parasitic protozoans was assessed. NMR spectra of the substituted 5- bromo-1-(carbamoylmethy)-7-azabenzimidazole derivatives exhibited rotational isomerism, and a dynamic NMR study was used in the estimation of the rate constants and the free- energies of activation for rotation. The free-energy differences between the two rotamers were determined and the more stable conformations were predicted. Novel 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazoles were also synthesised from 2-aminopyridine. A convenient method for the regioselective formylation of 2,3-diaminopyridines into 2-amino- 7-(benzylimino)pyridine analogues of 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazole was developed, and some of the resulting imino derivatives were hydrogenated to verify the importance of the imino moiety for bioactivity. The 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazoles and the 2-amino-7- (benzylimino)pyridine analogues were screened for their anti-protozoal activity and their cytotoxicity level was determined against the HeLa cell line. In order to validate the importance of the pyridine moiety, novel #-(phenyl)-2- hydroxybenzylimines, #-(benzyl)-2-hydroxybenzylimines and (±)-trans-1,2-bis[2- hydroxybenzylimino]cyclohexanes were also synthesized and screened for activity against the parasitic protozoans and for cytotoxicity against the HeLa cell line. The biological assay results indicated that these compounds are not significantly cytotoxic and a good number of them show potential as lead compounds for the development of new malaria and trypanosomiasis drugs.

ABSTRACT Rapid and accurate identification of carriers of resistant microorganisms is an important aspect of efficient infection control in hospitals. Traditional identification methods of antibiotic-resistant bacteria usually take at least 3 to 4 days after sampling. A duplex real-time PCR assay was developed for rapid detection of ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (ARE). Primers and probes that are used in this assay specifically detected the d-Ala-d-Ala ligase gene of E. faecium and the modified penicillin-binding protein 5 gene (pbp5) carrying the Glu-to-Val substitution at position 629 (Val-629) in a set of 129 tested E. faecium strains with known pbp5 sequence. Presence of the Val-629 in the strain set from 11 different countries was highly correlated with ampicillin resistance. In a screening of hospitalized patients, the real-time PCR assay yielded a sensitivity and a specificity for the detection of ARE colonization of 95% and 100%, respectively. The results were obtained 4 h after samples were harvested from overnight broth of rectal swab samples, identifying both species and the resistance marker mutation in pbp5. This novel assay reliably identifies ARE 2 to 3 days more quickly than traditional culture methods, thereby increasing laboratory throughput, making it useful for rectal screening of ARE. The assay demonstrates the advantages of real-time PCR for detection of nosocomial pathogens.
