Regulation of breast cancer resistance protein and P ‐glycoprotein by ezrin, radixin and moesin in lung, intestinal and renal cancer cell lines
ConclusionsOur findings indicate that regulation of BCRP and P ‐gp functions by ERM proteins is organ‐specific. Thus, if the appropriate ERM protein(s) are functionally suppressed, accumulation of BCRP or P‐gp substrates in lung, intestine or kidney cancer tissue might be specifically increased.

Investigation of cell death mechanism and activity of esculetin ‐loaded PLGA nanoparticles on insulinoma cells in vitro
ConclusionsThe results revealed that esculetin is able to show its anti ‐tumor afficacy after loading to PLGA nano‐micelles and nano‐encapsulation intensifies its cytotoxic activityin vitro. Current study shows that esculetin and its nano formulations are promising agents in treatment of insulinoma. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology)

Current trends in pharmacological approaches for treatment and management of acute pancreatitis – a review
AbstractObjectivesAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inimical disorder associated with overall mortality rates between 10 ‐15%. It is a disorder of the exocrine pancreas which is characterized by local and systemic inflammatory responses primarily driven by oxidative stress and death of pancreatic acinar cells. The severity of AP ranges from mild pancreatic edema with complete recuperative possibilities to serious sy stemic inflammatory response resulting in peripancreatic/pancreatic necrosis, multiple organ failure, and death.Key findingsWe have retrieved the potential alternative approaches that are developed lately for eff...

MiRNA ‐7 enhances erlotinib sensitivity of glioblastoma cells by blocking the IRS‐1 and IRS‐2 expression
ConclusionsOur data propose that inhibition of IRS ‐1 and IRS‐2 by miRNA‐7 can effectively induce apoptosis and sensitize glioblastoma cell to EGFR‐TKIs. Therefore, miRNA‐7 may be a potential therapeutic target in patients with glioblastoma. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology)

Cell ‐based, animal and H1 receptor binding studies relative to the sedative effects of ketotifen and norketotifen atropisomers
ConclusionThe lower sedative effect of SN in rodents is probably due to a combination of a lower uptake of N than K into the brain and less affinity of SN for CNS H1 receptors. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology)
