Investigation of the Effect of Exendin-4 on Oleic Acid-Induced Steatosis in HepG2 Cells Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy حسب Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

"…Analysis of the Oil Red O staining showed that Ex-4 significantly reduces steatosis. This reduction was confirmed by FTIR analysis, as the phospholipid band (C=O) at 1740 cm−1 in Ex-4 treated cells is significantly decreased compared to steatotic cells. …"

Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 promotes steatosis in HepG2 cells by modulating target gene expression in presence of Exendin-4 حسب Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

"…</p> <p>Results: Treatment with 200nM Ex-4 for 3h decreased the OA-induced lipid buildup significantly (p<0.05). …"

Exendin-4 alleviates steatosis in an in vitro cell model by lowering FABP1 and FOXA1 expression via the Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway حسب Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

"…Additionally, after β-catenin silencing, OA treatment significantly increased the expression of nuclear transcription factors SREBP-1 and TCF4, whereas Ex-4 significantly decreased this upregulation. …"

Interleukin-35 and Thymoquinone nanoparticle-based intervention for liver protection against paracetamol-induced liver injury in rats حسب Maisa Siddiq Abduh (16381125)

The contribution of autophagy in glioblastoma multiforme cells treated with human recombinant arginase I-induced arginine deprivation. (c2018) حسب El Jbeily, Elie

"…Protein analysis through western blots was conducted to check for the conversion/activation of LC3-I to LC3-II and for the activation of mtTOR to PmTOR. The activation of LC3-I peaked in control conditions (chloroquine treatment), considerably decreased in cells treated with the highest arginase concentration, then increased again in cells treated with both arginase at its highest concentration and chloroquine. mTOR is active in control cells, while at highest arginase concentration there is an inactivation of mTOR resulting in the activation of autophagy. …"
