%0 Journal Article %T Berberine Chloride and Hyperthermia Promote Osterix Expression and Suppress Cell Cycle Genes in Osteosarcoma Cells %A Alyaa R Rajih AL-Khateeb %A Dr %A Gabriele Froemming %A Mohammed Ali Nashiry %J - %D 2018 %X Objectives: The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of berberine chloride and various heat conditions on the gene expression of Osterix, RUNX-2, RANKL, CDK2, CDK4, IL-6 and IL-11. %K Six groups of cells were treated with hyperthermia for 1 h: Two groups at mild %K two at moderate and two at severe hyperthermia (39 %K 43 and 45¡ãC respectively). Berberine chloride (80 ¦Ìg/mL) was selected for treating one group of mild %K moderate and severe hyperthermia (combination). All treated groups were recovered at 37¡ãC for 24 h. Another exposure for hyperthermia (1 h) and recovery for 3 h at 37¡ãC were applied. %U http://ust.edu/ojs/index.php/yjmp/article/view/1403
