The saponin monomer 13 of dwarf lilyturf tuber (DT-13), one of the saponin monomers of dwarf lilyturf tuber, has been found to have potent cardioprotective effects. In order to investigate the effects of DT-13 on L-type calcium currents (I(Ca,L)), exploring the mechanisms of DT-13's cardioprotective
Adhesion and migration of tumor cells are crucial steps in tumor invasion and metastasis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of saponin monomer 13 of dwarf lilyturf tuber (DT-13) on metastasis of human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-435) during hypoxia. The effects and molecular
Cancer metastasis plays a major role in tumor deterioration. Metastatic processes are known to be regulated by hypoxic microenvironment and non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA). DT-13, a bioactive saponin monomer isolated from Ophiopogon japonicus, has been reported to inhibit various cancer metastasis,
The saponin monomer of dwarf lilyturf tuber, DT-13, exhibits anticancer activity by reducing human breast cancer cell adhesion and migration under hypoxia. To further investigate the anticancer activity of DT-13, we investigated whether DT-13 exhibits anti-angiogenic activity. DT-13 showed no effect
OBJECTIVE
The dried tuber root of Ophiopogon japonicus has been used in the traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of myocardial ischemia and thrombosis. In this study we investigated the effects of methylophiopogonanone A (MO-A), a major homoisoflavonoid in Ophiopogon japonicus, on myocardial
MDG‑1, a water‑soluble polysaccharide extracted from Ophiopogon japonicus, has been reported to serve a role in antimyocardial ischemia by protecting cardiomyocytes from hypoxia/reoxygenation‑induced damage. However, it remains unknown whether MDG‑1 protects human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Tumor metastasis is one of the main causes of mortality among patients with malignant tumors. Previous studies concerning tumor metastasis have merely focused on the cancer cells in the tumor. However, an increasing number of studies show that the tumor microenvironment plays a vital role in the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the anticancer activity of DT-13 under normoxia and determine the underlying mechanisms of action.
METHODS
MDA-MB-435 cell proliferation, migration, and adhesion were performed to assess the anticancer activity of DT-13, a saponin from Ophiopogon japonicus, in vitro. In
Ophiopogon japonicus is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have confirmed the anti-ischemic properties of a water-soluble β-D-fructan (MDG-1) from O. japonicus. The sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling pathway is involved in its cytoprotective
