In-Vitro Analysis of Glucose and Quercetin Effects on m-TOR and Nrf-2 Expression in HepG2 Cell Line (Diabetes and Cancer Connection)
Abstract
Some types of cancers show a strong relationship with diabetes and play a central role in mortality in the patient population suffering from diabetes mellitus. In this study, HepG2 cells have been used to investigate the toxic effects of hyperglycemia and/or quercetin (Q) on mammalian target of rapamycin (m-TOR) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) expression as central molecules involved in cancer. HepG2 cells were cultured with different concentrations of glucose (5.5, 30, and 50 mM) and/or Q (25 µM) for 48 and 72 h. Effects of glucose and/or Q on m-TOR and Nrf-2 expression were assayed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). qRT-PCR results revealed that 30 and 50 mM of glucose increased m-TOR expression at 48 h, although after 72 h, only 30 mM had an increasing effect. At 50 mM, glucose-induced Nrf-2 gene expression after both 48 and 72 h. The results also showed that 25 µM of Q reduced m-TOR and Nrf-2 expression at both 30 and 50 mM after 48 and 72 h incubation. Q has potential effects on reducing oxidative stress caused by hyperglycemia and during diabetes may be able to modulate some carcinogenic signaling pathways.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
