Biological activities of the aerial and undergound parts of < em > Gymnadenia nigra < /em > Rchb.f. (syn. < em > Nigritella nigra < /em > (L.) Rchb. f.) from the Italian Alps
This study investigated the bioactivity of both aerial (GNAR) and underground (GNUG) parts of Gymnadenia nigra Rchb.f. (syn. Nigritella nigra (L.) Rchb. f.) (Orchidaceae). The obtained data proved interesting when the samples were tested in two adrenocortical cancer cell lines (SW13 and H295R). In particular, the GNAR 80% methanol extract distinctly inhibited their viability after 24 h at a concentration of 1 µg/µL by MTT assay and trypan blue dye exclusion method. Cell morphology evaluation by means Wright's staining also showed significant results, particularly in SW13 cells under the effect of both extracts. GNAR extr...

Effect of cycloastragenol and punicalagin on Prp(106-126) and A β(25-35) oligomerization and fibrillizaton
In this study, we have examined the effect of two NPs, cycloastragenol (CAG) and punicalagin (PCG), on the metal-induced oligomerization and aggregation of Aβ25-35 and PrP106-126 peptides. The peptide aggregation and inhibitory properties of both NPs were examined by the thioflavin-T (ThT) assay, MALDI-TOF, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Among the two NPs, PCG significantly binds to the peptides, chelates metal ions (Cu2+ and Zn2+), inhibits peptide aggregation, substantially reduces oxidative stress, and controls the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Both NPs ...

Modeling the Development of Cellular Exhaustion and Tumor-Immune Stalemate
Bull Math Biol. 2023 Sep 21;85(11):106. doi: 10.1007/s11538-023-01207-7.ABSTRACTCellular exhaustion in various immune cells develops in response to prolonged stimulation and overactivation during chronic infections and in cancer. Marked by an upregulation of inhibitory receptors and diminished effector functions, exhausted immune cells are unable to fully eradicate the antigen responsible for the overexposure. In cancer settings, this results in a relatively small but constant tumor burden known as a localized tumor-immune stalemate. In recent years, studies have elucidated key aspects of the development and progression of...

Characterization of histone chaperone MCM2 as a key regulator in arsenic-induced depletion of H3.3 at genomic loci
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 19:116697. doi: 10.1016/j.taap.2023.116697. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArsenic exposure is associated with an increased risk of many cancers, and epigenetic mechanisms play a crucial role in arsenic-mediated carcinogenesis. Our previous studies have shown that arsenic exposure induces polyadenylation of H3.1 mRNA and inhibits the deposition of H3.3 at critical gene regulatory elements. However, the precise underling mechanisms are not yet understood. To characterize the factors governing arsenic-induced inhibition of H3.3 assembly through H3.1 mRNA polyadenylation, we utilized mass spect...

ATR activation by Cr-DNA damage is a major survival response establishing late S and G2 checkpoints after Cr(VI) exposure
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 19:116696. doi: 10.1016/j.taap.2023.116696. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInhalation exposure to hexavalent chromium is known to cause lung cancer and other pulmonary toxicity. Cellular metabolism of chromium(VI) entering cells as chromate anion produces different amounts of reactive Cr(V) intermediates and finally yields Cr(III). Direct reduction of Cr(VI) by ascorbate (Asc), the dominant metabolic reaction in vivo but not in standard cell cultures, skips production of Cr(V) but still permits extensive formation of Cr-DNA damage. To understand the importance of different forms of biologica...

Different mechanisms of CD200-CD200R induce diverse outcomes in cancer treatment
Math Biosci. 2023 Sep 19:109072. doi: 10.1016/j.mbs.2023.109072. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe CD200 is a cell membrane protein expressed by tumor cells, and its receptor CD200 receptor (CD200R) is expressed by immune cells including macrophages and dendritic cells. The formation of CD200-CD200R inhibits the cellular functions of the targeted immune cells, so CD200 is one type of the immune checkpoint and blockade CD200-CD200R formation is a potential cancer treatment. However, the CD200 blockade has opposite treatment outcomes in different types of cancers. For instance, the CD200R deficient mice have a higher tumor l...

Oestrogen receptor-independent actions of oestrogen in cancer
Mol Biol Rep. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1007/s11033-023-08793-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOestrogen, the primary female sex hormone, plays a significant role in tumourigenesis. The major pathway for oestrogen is via binding to its receptor [oestrogen receptor (ERα or β)], followed by nuclear translocation and transcriptional regulation of target genes. Almost 70% of breast tumours are ER + , and endocrine therapies with selective ER modulators (tamoxifen) have been successfully applied. As many as 25% of tamoxifen-treated patients experience disease relapse within 5 years upon completion of chemotherapy. In such cases, t...
