pinellia integrifolia/neoplasms

The analysis of altered glycosylation patterns may provide biomarkers for various types of cancer. The present study developed a Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin (PPA)-based lectin blot analysis technique, which was used to analyze the glycosylation patterns in various types of cancer cells. Results

Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin (PPA) is a specific mannose-binding plant lectin accumulated in the tuber of P. pedatisecta. In the work presented, the cytotoxicity of PPA to cancer cells was investigated through exogenous expression. A PPA gene was transduced into normal and cancer cell lines

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal disease among the malignant tumors of female reproductive organs. Few successful therapeutic options exist for patients with ovarian cancer. The common therapeutic methods are surgical operation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and combination of these treatments. In

Cancer development and progression are usually associated with glycosylation change, providing prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers, as well as therapeutic targets, for various cancers. In this work, Dicentrarchus labrax fucose binding lectin (DlFBL) and Haliotis discus discus sialic acid binding

Blockade of cell cycle re-entry in quiescent cancer cells is a strategy to prevent cancer progression and recurrence. We investigated the action and mode of action of CPF mixture (Coptis chinensis, Pinellia ternata and Fructus trichosanthis) in impeding a proliferative switch in quiescent lung

The objectives of the study were to investigate the anti-tumour activity of Pinellia ternata polysaccharide in vivo, and to preliminarily explore the possible mechanism of its antitumour action. Mouse model of Ehrlich ascites tumour (solid tumour) was used to detect the serum SOD, MDA and GSH-Px

OBJECTIVE To study the proteomics of Pinellia pedatisecta Schott total protein on human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. METHODS SKOV3 cells were in vitro cultured. The growth inhibition of SKOV3 cells in the logarithmic phase with different concentrations of Pinellia pedatisecta Schott (0, 0.05, 0.10,

BACKGROUND Pinellia pedatisecta Schott extract (PE), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to reduce swelling, dry dampness and suppress cervical tumors. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the roles of PE in the regulation of anti-tumor effects and the cellular immune response in the tumor

Lectins exist widely in marine bioresources such as bacteria, algae, invertebrate animals and fishes. Some purified marine lectins have been found to elicit cytotoxicity to cancer cells. However, there are few reports describing the cytotoxic effect of marine lectins on cancer cells through

Pinellia pedatisecta Schott extract (PE) is generated from Pinellia pedatisecta Schott, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. PE suppresses cervical tumor growth and exhibits effects on dendritic cells (DCs) that lead to modulation of antitumor

Pinellia pedatisecta Schott (PPS)is a traditional Chinese medicine functioning as reducing swelling and drying dampness. Pinellia pedatisecta Schott extract (PE) has been confirmed to suppress cervical tumor growth and modulate the antitumor

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction effects of a novel lipid-soluble extract (PE) from Pinellia pedatisecta Schott on CaSki, HeLa and HBL-100 cells. Particularly, the effect of PE on HPV E6 gene expression was tested, and the mechanism of its apoptosis induction effect was

Traditional Chinese medicine, based on theories developed and practiced for >2,000 years, is one of the most common complementary and alternative types of medicine currently used in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Ruanjian Sanjie (RJSJ) decoction, is composed of four herbs, including

BACKGROUND Rhizoma Pinelliae is the dried tuber of Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Rhizoma Pinelliae has antitussive, antiemetic, glandular secretion inhibiting and antitumor effects. OBJECTIVE To optimize the processing technology of Rhizoma Pinelliae

Pinellia ternata agglutinin (PTA) from the tubers of P. ternata is a monocot mannose-binding lectin that catalytically agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes. The potential effect of PTA has gained considerable interest in recent years owing to clinical use of native PTA as the preparation against cancer
