In the present study, the antiproliferative effect of dioscin on human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells was confirmed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiahiazo-zyl)-2, 5-dip-henytetrazolium bromide and flow cytometry assays. Through acridine orange-ethidium bromide double fluorescent staining, apoptotic
The mechanisms of the ameliorating effects of dioscin against CCl(4) induced acute liver damage are investigated in this study. Dioscin significantly inhibited (p<0.01) the increases of serum ALT and AST activities compared with the CCl(4)-treated animals. The hepatic lipid peroxidation formation
BACKGROUND
Development of novel candidates to promote liver regeneration is critical important after partial hepatectomy (PH). Dioscin, a natural product, shows potent effect on liver protection in our previous works.
OBJECTIVE
This work aimed to investigate the effect and underlying mechanisms of
The aim of the study was to investigate the protective effect of dioscin against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. In the in vitro tests, HepG2 cells were given APAP pretreatment with or without dioscin. In the in vivo experiments, mice were orally administrated dioscin for five days and then given APAP.
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has received attention as a potential anticancer drug, because it induces apoptosis in a wide variety of cancer cells but not in most normal human cell types. Here, we showed that co-treatment with subtoxic doses of dioscin and
Diosgenin, as an essential natural steroidal saponin, can be extracted from numerous sources, primarily from fenugreek. It is an important raw material for the synthesis of steroid hormone drugs. It exhibits antitumor, anti‑inflammatory, antioxidation and several other significant pharmacologic
Aim:Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening inflammatory syndrome that lacks an effective therapy. Dioscin, a natural steroid saponin isolated from a variety of herbs, could serve as an anti-inflammatory agent, as suggested in previous reports. The purpose of this study was to explore
Our previous studies have shown that dioscin has protective effect against liver injury. However, the action of the compound against ethanol-induced liver injury is still unknown. In the present paper, ethanol-induced acute and chronic liver damage rat models were used, and the results showed that
To investigate the effect of dioscin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced peritoneal fibrosis and its underlying mechanism.The human peritoneal mesothelial cell line (HMrSV5) was treated with LPS, followed by treatment with different concentrations of The present work aimed to investigate the activities and underlying mechanisms of dioscin against alcoholic liver fibrosis (ALF). In vivo liver fibrosis in mice was induced by an alcoholic liquid diet, and in vitro studies were performed on activated HSC-T6 and LX2 cells treated with
Aim: Acute lung injury (ALI), a critical illness syndrome with high morbidity and mortality, is characterized by a severe inflammatory response. Dioscin exerts protective effects against crystalline silica-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in mice. Bleomycin (BLM) is widely used to
BACKGROUND
Dioscin shows potent effects against liver damage in our previous studies; however, the action of it on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is still unknown. In the present article, the effects and possible mechanisms of dioscin against hepatic I/R injury were
Dioscin, as a type of important natural steroidal saponin, has widespread sources, primarily from the fenugreek plant, which is an important raw material in the production of synthetic steroid hormone drugs. Dioscin has anti‑tumor, anti‑inflammatory, antioxidant and other significant pharmacological
The modulation of adhesion molecule expression and the reduction of aberrant leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium are attractive approaches for treating inflammation-related vascular complications, including atherosclerosis. Dioscin has a variety of biological activities including anti-inflammatory
We previously reported the effects of dioscin against carbon tetrachloride-, acetaminophen- and alcohol-induced acute liver damage. However, its effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory liver injury remains unknown. In the present work, liver injury in mice and rats was induced by
