OBJECTIVE
The main target of the present research was to examine the antitumor properties of aesculetin in human acute myeloid leukemia cancer cells (THP-1) and peripheral blood mono-nucleated cells (PBMCs) (used as normal cell line model) along with the determination of its effects on induction of
The inhibitory effect of aesculetin on the growth of colon cancer cell line SW480 through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was studied. The appropriate concentration of aesculetin was selected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the effect of aesculetin on the proliferation of SW480 cells
For the first time, a pale amorphous coumarin derivative, 5-methoxyl aesculetin (MOA), was isolated from the dried bark of Fraxinus rhynchophylla Hance (Oleaceae). MOA modulates cytokine expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages, but the precise mechanisms are still not
BACKGROUND
NSC-741909 is a novel anticancer agent that can effectively suppress the growth of several cell lines derived from lung, colon, breast, ovarian, and kidney cancers. We recently showed that NSC-741909-induced antitumor activity is associated with sustained Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)
Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease in which lung tissues become fibrous and thereby causes severe respiratory disturbances. Various stimuli induce infiltration of macrophages to the respiratory tract, secreting inflammatory cytokines, which subsequently leads to the development of pulmonary fibrosis.
Altered expression of a cytosolic flavoenzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) has been seen in many human tumors. Its remarkable overexpression in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA; an aggressive malignancy of the biliary duct system) was associated with poor prognosis and short survival of the
The Maori people were early New Zealand settlers of Polynesian descent. The incidence of non-infectious diseases appears to have been low in these people, perhaps in part due to the presence of protective chemical constituents within their food plant supply. Three of the tropical crops they
EtOH extracts of the seeds of Euphorbia lagascae inhibited crown gall tumors on potato discs, were active against 3PS (in vivo) and 9PS (in vitro) mouse leukemia, and were toxic to brine shrimp. Using the potato disc and brine shrimp bioassays to monitor fractionation, piceatannol (3,4,3',5'-
