Hypoxia induced drug resistance is a major obstacle in the development of effective cancer therapy. In the present study, the reversal abilities of wogonin on the hypoxia resistance and the underlying mechanisms were discovered. MTT assay revealed that hypoxia increased maximal 1.71-, 2.08-, and
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes skin damage including increases in skin thickness, edema, and flush. In this study, we examined the effects of two main flavonoids (wogonin and baicalein) isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, a traditional remedy for allergic inflammatory
Wogonin, a flavone from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has shown various biological activities. In our previous study, it was confirmed that wogonin could decrease the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by affecting its stability under hypoxia. However, it is still
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammatory sinonasal disorder characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and T-helper 2 skewing. Eosinophil accumulation in sinonasal mucosa comprises a major feature of CRSwNP. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the flavone
Wogonin, a plant-derived flavone, has been shown recently to have antitumor effects. However, the mechanisms that wogonin inhibits tumor angiogenesis are not well known. In this study, we investigated the effects of wogonin on expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and secretion of
Many studies have focused on the identification of therapeutic targets for the treatment of certain types of cancer. Wogonin is a natural flavonoid compound that exhibits a potent anti-cancer effect. The underlying mechanism of wogonin may therefore reveal an effective way to identify novel
SRC family kinase was documented to have vital roles in adjusting cancer cell malignant behaviors. To date, the role of c-Src, a member of SRC family kinase, in resistance to paclitaxel in human ovarian cancer cells under hypoxia has not been investigated. In the present study, we discovered that
Scutellariae Radix (SR), also named Huangqin in China, is the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Historically, the usage of SR was targeted to against inflammation. In fact, chronic inflammation has a close relationship with hypoxia and abnormal angiogenesis in tumor cells. Hence, we
