Anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic effects of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin on implanted hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice

AIM: To determine the effect of tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) on tumor angiogenesis compared with curcumin (CUR) by using both in vitro and in vivo models of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). METHODS: The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used for testing the anti-proliferating activities of CUR and THC. In male BALB/c nude mice, 2 × 106 human HepG2 cells were inoculated onto a dorsal skin-fold chamber. One day after HepG2 inoculation, the experimental groups were fed oral daily with CUR or THC (300 mg/kg or 3000 mg/kg). On d 7, 14 and 21, the tumor microvasculature was observed using fluorescence videomicroscopy and capillary vascularity (CV) was measured. RESULTS: Pathological angiogenic features including microvascular dilatation, tortuosity, and hyper-permeability were observed. CUR and THC could attenuate these pathologic features. In HepG2-groups, the CV were significantly increased on d 7 (52.43%), 14 (69.17%), and 21 (74.08%), as compared to controls (33.04%,P < 0.001). Treatment with CUR and THC resulted in significant decrease in the CV (P < 0.005 and P < 0.001, respectively). In particular, the anti-angiogenic effects of CUR and THC were dose-dependent manner. However, the beneficial effect of THC treatment than CUR was observed, in particular, from the 21 d CV (44.96% and 52.86%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: THC expressed its anti-angiogenesis without any cytotoxic activities to HepG2 cells even at the highest doses. It is suggested that anti-angiogenic properties of CUR and THC represent a common potential mechanism for their anti-cancer actions.

The Study of Effervescent Tablet Processing Using Red Roses （Rosa damascena Mill） Pigments Extract

Rose is one of the farming products that used as an accessory plantation, which is also known to contain vitamin C and anthocyanins which can be used as an antioxidant. The purpose of this study is to identify the colour effect of flower through the quality effervescent tablet, to know the interaction between the flower colour and the sugar type through the quality effervescent rose tablet. This study was done with two steps. Step I was divided into 2 levels of examinations using simple random： Rose colouring, M1 （dark red） and M2 （pink）, while step II consisted of three levels of examinations, those were G 1 （sucrose）, G2 （dextrose）, and G3 （sorbitol）. The result showed that the dark red colour has a better extract pigment quality, the level of the light color （L） was 77.3 and the redness level （b＋） was 25.033. The best rose effervescent tablet was produced by the combination of M 1 G3 （dark red： corn sugar/sorbitol）, that has 8.179% of water content; the solute velocity was 0.029 g/sec; the lightness level （L） was 84.133, the redness level （a＋） was 18.3. The product of the rose effervescent drinks has a value of 6.46 pH; viscosities 342.867 cps and total of sugar 52.150%.

Synthetic immunity to break down the bottleneck of cancer immunotherapy

As a result of recent breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapies, unprecedented and durable remission, and even cure, has been reported in some patients. Importantly, this progress has been achieved, not by the induction of immunity, but by the delivery of immunity in the form of engineered antibodies （cAbs） or effector T cells. However, these single-target technologies have failed to result in a therapeutic effect in some patients, and evidence suggests that further advances depend on an effective strategy for coping with cancer heterogeneity and dynamics. A synthetic immunity （SI） strategy is proposed to achieve this goal. The fundamental basis of SI involves the generation of a panel of cAbs and antibody-retargeted CTLs designed to destroy all cell lineages of a cancer with high specificity. This goal can be achieved only when the composition of the cAbs is determined using a systematic approach, i.e., selecting the antigens targeted by the cAbs based on an epitope-tree illustrating the clonal antigen architecture of the cancer. Integration of technologies that increase the epitope breadth, cAb affinity and T cell activity will further enhance the efficacy of SI. Using DNA vectors to express the eAbs will be a safe, effective and affordable solution.

Antimicrobial effect of sodium houttuyfonate on Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans biofilms

OBJECTIVE： To study antimicrobial effect of Sodi- um houttuyfonate （SH） on Staphylococcus epider- midis （SE） and Candida albicans （CA）. METHODS： The prepared strain broths （OD600=0.05） containing SE and CA were firstly used to test the minimal inhibitory concentrations （MICs） of SH, azithromycin （AZM） and fluconazole （FLU） by mi- cro-dilution method. Then the biofilms of SE and CA were matured in 96-well plates, and co-cultured with SH, AZM and FLU for 1, 2 and 3 days to assess the antibiofilm efficacies of the agents with differ- ent concentrations by crystal violet staining meth- od. At last, the treated biofilms of SE and CA by 2× MIC agents were observed by scanning electronic microscope. RESULTS： The MlCs of SE and CA were 256 and 1024 μg/mL, respectively. After the 1st, 2nd and3rd day of medications, the suppressions of biofilm were about 60% （P〈0.01）, 76% （P=0.000） and 75% （P=0.000） by 2×MIC SH, the suppressions of biofilm were about 90% （P=0.000）, 88% （P=0.000） and 90% （P=0.000） by 2×MIC SH, which could be testified by scanning electron microscope results. However, the inhibitions of biofilm attachment had no significant difference for SE by SH and azithromycin and CA by SH and fluconazole. CONCLUSION： SH had widely anti-pathogenic ef- fect on pathogenic biofilm formation of either bac- teria or fungus, had more influence on enclosed cells of SE and CA than the traditional antibiotics, revealing its target might be the extracellular poly- meric substances, and was more active to inhibit the growth of CA than SE.

Antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin encapsulated in neovasculature targeting liposomes

It was reported that a 5-amino acid peptide Ala-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly （APRPG） could specifically bind to the tumor angiogenic site. We investigated the antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin （DOX） encapsulated in APRPG modified liposome （APRPG-LP） compared with DOX encapsulated in non-APRPG modified liposomes （LP） and DOX solution （flee DOX） on Lewis lung carcinoma （LLC） bearing mice. APRPG-LP could efficiently suppress the tumor growth of the experimental mice, compared with LP （P〈0.001）, free DOX （P〈0.001） and saline of negative control （P〈0.001）. The present results demonstrated that the APRPG modified liposomes exhibited a much better therapeutic efficacy over the non-modified liposomes and the DOX solution, because of the effect of targeted tumor angiogenesis disruption. Thus, APRPG-LP could be a promising active-targeting drug carrier to tumor angiogenic site.
