Li, Li-Hua,Baek, In Kyu,Kim, Jin Hee,Kang, Kyung Ho,Koh, Yang Seok,Jung, Young Do,Cho, Chol Kyoon,Choi, Seok-Yong,Shin, Boo Ahn National Hellenic Research Foundation 2009 Oncology reports Vol.21 No.2
<P>Elaeagnus glabra (Thunb.), an evergreen shrub with alternate leaves, has been used as a medicinal plant in Korea. Since many plant-derived molecules have inhibitory effects on tumor cell invasion, primarily via suppression of the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), we investigated the effect of the methanol extract of E. glabra on tumor cell invasion. The invasiveness of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells were reduced in a dose-dependent manner following 24 h treatment of up to 200 microg/ml of the E. glabra extract, at which concentration no cytotoxicity occurred. Furthermore, gelatinolytic activities, and the protein and mRNA levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were also suppressed with increasing concentrations of the extract. Given that MMP-2 and MMP-9 are instrumental in tumor cell invasion, it is very likely that the reduction in tumor cell invasion by E. glabra extract is a consequence, at least in part, of suppressed expression of both MMP-2 and MMP-9. Isolation of a molecule(s) responsible for the extract inhibition of tumor cell invasion would pave the way for the development of a new generation of metastasis inhibitors.</P>

Trichostatin A (TSA) is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. We here investigated its effects on proliferation and apoptosis of the CNE2 carcinoma cell line, and attempted to establish genome-wide DNA methylation alteration due to differentially histone acetylation status. After cells were treated by TSA, the inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was examined with a CCK8 kit, and cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Compared to control, TSA inhibited CNE2 cell growth and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, TSA was found to induce genome-wide methylation alteration as assessed by genome-wide methylation array. Overall DNA methylation level of cells treated with TSA was higher than in controls. Function and pathway analysis revealed that many genes with methylation alteration were involved in key biological roles, such as apoptosis and cell proliferation. Three genes (DAP3, HSPB1 and CLDN) were independently confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. Finally, we conclude that TSA inhibits CNE2 cell growth and induces apoptosis in vitro involving genome-wide DNA methylation alteration, so that it has promising application prospects in treatment of NPC in vivo. Although many unreported hypermethylated/hypomethylated genes should be further analyzed and validated, the pointers to new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in the treatment of NPC should be stressed.

A new type of phosphorus-containing intrinsic flame retardant was prepared with L-tryptophan (L-Trp) and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphorbenzophenanthrene- 10-oxide (DOPO) as the main components. The Schiff base from the reaction of 1,4-terephthalaldehyde and L-tryptophan provides active sites, and then the phosphorous compound, DOPO, is successfully introduced into the Schiff base to synthesize L-Trp-DOPO flame retardant. The intrinsic flame retardant property of LTrp- DOPO comes from the reaction of carbonyl groups and the epoxy groups in epoxy resin (EP) matrix. The prepared L-Trp-DOPO flame retardant can efficiently improve the flame retardancy and smoke suppression of the base material of EP. Cone calorimetric test (CCT) of EP/L-Trp-DOPO composite material was carried out. The data showed that the peak heat release rate (pk-HRR) value was reduced by 50.8% (from 1459 kW/m2 to 717 kW/m2), the THR value reduced by 78.3%, and the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value was increased by 24%. The addition of new flame retardant greatly reduced the release of toxic CO gas. The flame retardant mechanism was explored, and it can be found that after thermal decomposition of L-Trp- DOPO a dense carbon layer can be produced to isolate the fire source. In addition, during the combustion process, L-Trp-DOPO will produce phosphorus-containing free radicals which will quench the active free radicals in the gas phase and dilute the combustible gas. The prepared L-Trp-DOPO flame retardant has a flame retardant effect in both the condensed phase and the gas phase during the combustion process.

Betulin, an abundant natural compound, significantly inhibited the cell viability of advanced human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells. Mechanism study demonstrated that betulin induced apoptosis through mitochondrial Bax and Bak accumulation-mediated intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Downregulation of the anti-apoptosis proteins Bcl-2 and XIAP was involved during betulin-induced cell apoptosis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was generated in cells after betulin treatment in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Addition of antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) significantly attenuated betulin-induced ROS generation as well as Bcl-2 and XIAP downregulation. The mitochondrial accumulation of Bax and Bak, as well as caspase activity, was also remarkably inhibited by NAC treatment, indicating that ROS are important signaling intermediates that lead to betulin-induced apoptosis by modulating multiple apoptosis-regulating proteins in SGC7901 cells.

Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici is a soil borne pathogenic fungus associated with wheat roots. The accurate quantification of gene expression during the process of infection might be helpful to understand the pathogenic molecular mechanism. However, this method requires suitable reference genes for transcript normalization. In this study, nine candidate reference genes were chosen, and the specificity of the primers were investigated by melting curves of PCR products. The expression stability of these nine candidates was determined with three programs-geNorm, Norm Finder, and Best Keeper. TUBβ was identified as the most stable reference gene. Furthermore, the exopolygalacturonase gene (ExoPG) was selected to verify the reliability of TUBβ expression. The expression profile of ExoPG assessed using TUBβ agreed with the results of digital gene expression analysis by RNA-Seq. This study is the first systematic exploration of the optimal reference genes in the infection process of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici.

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are immature endothelial cells that participate in vascular repair and postnatal neovascularization and provide a novel and promising therapy for the treatment of vascular disease. Studies in different animal models have shown that EPC mobilization through pharmacological agents and autologous EPC transplantation contribute to restoring blood supply and tissue regeneration after ischemic injury. However, these effects of the progenitor cells in clinical studies exhibit mixed results. The therapeutic efficacy of EPCs is closely associated with the number of the progenitor cells recruited into ischemic regions and their functional abilities and survival in injury tissues. In this review, we discussed the regulating role of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (also known CXCL12, SDF-1) in EPC mobilization, recruitment, homing, vascular repair and neovascularization, and analyzed the underlying machemisms of these functions. Application of SDF-1 to improve the regenerative function of EPCs following vascular injury was also discussed. SDF-1 plays a crucial role in mobilizing EPC from bone marrow into peripheral circulation, recruiting the progenitor cells to target tissue and protecting against cell death under pathological conditions; thus improve EPC regenerative capacity. SDF-1 are crucial for regulating EPC regenerative function, and provide a potential target for improve therapeutic efficacy of the progenitor cells in treatment of vascular disease.

An effective ternary organic-inorganic composite flame retardant of reduced graphene oxide-poly-dopamine@graphitic carbon nitride@10-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)- 10-H-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (RGO-PDA@g-C3N4@ODOPB) was successfully fabricated by co-precipitation method. Its property concerning the intrinsic flame retardancy and the mechanical performance was well studied when it was used as co-additives in combination with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in epoxy resin (EP) samples. The surface morphology and the structure of RGO-PDA@g-C3N4 @ODOPB were characterized by SEM, and the molecular structure and compositions were investigated by FT-IR, powder XRD and 1H NMR. TGA, limit oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL-94), cone calorimeter test, and SEM were also used to investigate the thermal properties and flame retardancy of materials. As expected, the flame retardancy of EP was significantly heightened after adding of RGOPDA@ g-C3N4@ODOPB composites. It showed that with the 20% adding of RGO-PDA@g-C3N4@ODOPB/APP into EP led to the decreasing of the peak heat release rate and the total heat release at 78% and 62.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, the LOI value of the EP composites was as high as 29% and reached UL-94 V-0 rate. It was deemed that the excellent flame retardancy was attributed to the forming of compact and stable carbon layer, which was being catalytic carbonization by APP existed in the RGO-PDA@g-C3N4@ODOPB/APP composites. At the same time, the non-combustible gas released from thermal cracking of g-C3N4 during the combustion also benefited the flame retardant performance of EP.
