Effect of Onosma echioides on DMBA/croton oil mediated carcinogenic response, hyperproliferation and oxidative damage in murine skin

The current study unveils the effect of O. echioides extract on two-stage skin carcinogenesis and on tumor promoter induced markers and oxidative stress in Swiss mice. Treatment of dorsal shaven cutaneous portions of the mice with single topical application of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) followed by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation induced significant oxidative stress and elevated the marker parameters of tumor promotion. Similar effects were observed with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment. Pretreatment of O. echioides extract (5 mg & 10 mg/Kg b.wt) in both the studies with BPO+UVB and TPA restored the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and cellular protective enzymes (p < 0.05). Concomitantly, malondialdehyde (MDA) formation and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content were also reduced significantly (p < 0.05) at both the doses. The promotion parameters tested (ornithine decarboxylase activity and DNA synthesis) were also significantly suppressed (p < 0.05). Thereafter, we proceeded with studies on mouse skin carcinogenesis. After ten days of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) treatment, twice-weekly applications of croton oil for 20 weeks resulted in 100% incidence of tumors in the animals. However, O. echioides showed reduction in the number of tumors/ mouse and percentage of tumor bearing mice at the end of the study. The study was further histologically confirmed. The protective activity of the plant might be due to the two major constituents (alkannins and shikonins) present in the plant. O. echioides is thus, proposed to be helpful in prevention of experimental skin carcinogenesis.     

Chemopreventive effects of curcumin on chemically induced mouse skin carcinogenesis in BK5.insulin-like growth factor-1 transgenic mice

The insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway is strongly associated with the risk of various cancers, and its inhibition has emerged as a potent anticancer strategy. Accumulating evidence from in vitro studies has shown that curcumin is a potent inhibitor of the IGF-1 signaling pathway. However, direct evidence that curcumin modulates IGF-1-induced tumorigenesis in a physiological system has not been reported. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the anticarcinogenic activity of curcumin on skin cancer by using BK5.IGF-1 transgenic (Tg) mice that overexpress IGF-1 in the skin epidermis. In 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) two-stage skin carcinogenesis, a curcumin diet (0.02% wt/wt) fed for 14 wk remarkably reduced mouse skin tumor multiplicity by 53%, epidermal hyperplasia and proliferation compared to the control diet group. TPA-induced phosphorylation of Akt, S6 kinase (S6K), and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1) in mouse skin was lower in the curcumin group than in the control group. Curcumin treatment inhibited IGF-1-induced phosphorylation of the IGF-1 receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1, Akt, S6K, and 4EBP1 in the mouse keratinocyte cell line, C50 in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these data suggest that curcumin exerts significant anticarcinogenic activity in skin cancer through the inhibition of IGF-1 signaling.     

The effects of the Brazilian antDinoponera quadriceps venom on chemically induced seizure models

Arthropod venoms are potential sources of neuroactive substances, providing new tools for the design of drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Dinoponera quadriceps venom (DqV) on seizure models in mice induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), pilocarpine, and strychnine. In the PTZ model, intraperitoneal treatment with DqV (0.5 mg/kg) increased the time until the first seizure and the percentage of survival (155.4 ± 27.7 s/12.5%, p < 0.05) compared to the control group (79.75 ± 3.97 s/0%), whereas endovenous treatment (0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg) decreased the time until the first seizure (0.1 mg/kg: 77.83 ± 5.3 s versus 101.0 ± 3.3 s in the control group; 0.5 mg/kg: 74.43 ± 3.9 s versus 101.0 ± 3.3 s for the control group, p < 0.05). We did not observe significant changes in the pilocarpine- and strychnine-induced seizure models. In assays that measured oxidative parameters in the PTZ model, intraperitoneal treatment with DqV (0.5 and 2.0 mg/kg) only decreased the levels of MDA and nitrite in the cortex. However, endovenous treatment with DqV (0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg) increased the levels of MDA in the cortex and hippocampus and at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg in the striatum. Moreover, increased in nitrite content was observed in all three of the brain regions analyzed. Taken together, the D. quadriceps venom caused both neuroprotective and neurotoxic effects in a PTZ-induced seizure model, and this effect was dependent on the route of administration used.

【目的】中波紫外(ultraviolet B,UVB)照射是导致皮肤光老化形成和色素沉着的主要环境原因之一。植物乳杆菌是一种广泛研究的益生菌。本研究利用UVB照射皮肤细胞[正常人皮肤成纤维细胞(normal human dermal fibroblast,NHDF)和小鼠B16F10黑色素瘤细胞],探讨热灭活植物乳杆菌(Lactobacillus plantarum,LP)ATCC 8014的抗光老化和抗黑色素生成作用。【方法】以暴露于UVB的NHDF细胞和小鼠B16F10黑色素瘤细胞为研究对象,用甲基噻唑基四唑(methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium,MTT)法、末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶dUTP缺口末端标记(terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling,TUNEL)染色分析和2’,7’-二氯荧光素二乙酸酯(2’,7’-dichlorofluorescin diacetate DCFH-DA)染色分析实验检测2组细胞的细胞活力、DNA损伤及相对活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)水平;利用酶联免疫吸附测定(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)法检测NHDF细胞中的I型胶原蛋白水平;通过NaOH裂解法和多巴氧化法对B16F10细胞黑色素生成和酪氨酸酶活性进行测定;通过qRT-PCR分析和Western blotting分析检测光老化和黑色素生成相关基因和蛋白表达水平变化。【结果】(1)LP抑制UVB诱导的NHDF和B16F10细胞毒性,这与减少ROS介导的细胞DNA损伤有关;(2)LP下调基质金属蛋白酶(matrix metalloproteinase,MMP)-1、MMP-3和MMP-9(而不是MMP-2)mRNA水平[与抑制细胞外信号调节激酶(extracellular signal-regulated kinase,ERK),p38(而不是JNK)/c-Fos(而不是c-Jun)信号通路有关],增加I型前胶原(procollagen type-1 alpha 1,COL1A1)蛋白水平,从而提高I型胶原蛋白含量;(3)LP作为自噬诱导剂(增加LC3-Ⅱ和Beclin 1蛋白水平以及LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ比率)抑制酪氨酸酶、酪氨酸相关蛋白(tyrosinase-related protein,TYRP)-1和TYRP-2活性和/或表达(与压制PKA/CREB/MITF信号通路有关),从而降低黑色素含量。【结论】LP在UVB暴露的皮肤细胞中具有潜在的抗光老化和抗黑色素生成作用。     

Pangenomic changes induced by DHEA in the skin of postmenopausal women

The objective of this study was to explore, for the first time, the changes in the pangenomic profile induced in human skin in women treated with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) applied locally.Sixty postmenopausal women participated in this phase II prospective, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study. Women were randomized to the twice daily local application of 0% (placebo), 0.3%, 1% or 2% DHEA cream. Changes in the pangenomic expression profile were studied using Affymetrix Genechips.Significant changes (p < 0.05) in sixty-six DHEA-responsive probe sets corresponding to 52 well-characterized genes and 9 unknown gene sequences were identified. A dose-dependent increase in the expression of several members of the collagen family was observed, namely COL1, COL3 and COL5 as well as the concomitant modulation of SPARC, a gene required for the normal deposition and maturation of collagen fibrils in the dermis. Several genes involved in the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes were also modulated. In addition, topical DHEA reduced the expression of genes associated with the terminal differentiation and cornification of keratinocytes.Our results strongly suggest the possibility that DHEA could exert an anti-aging effect in the skin through stimulation of collagen biosynthesis, improved structural organization of the dermis while modulating keratinocyte metabolism.     

The effects of several croton oil constituents on two types of DNA repair and cyclic nucleotide levels in mammalian cells in vitro.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of two potent tumor-promoting agents on two DNA repair mechanisms and cyclic nucleotide levels in mammalian cells. Human amnion (AV3) cells were treated with low dose levels of either UV of N-acetoxy-acetylaminofluorene. Subsequently, DNA excision repair as measured by unscheduled DNA synthesis was followed in the absence or presence of non-toxic levels of either 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), phorbol-12,13-dibenzoate (PDB), both potent tumor promoters, or phorbol, a non-promoter. Neither of these compounds inhibited DNA repair synthesis occurring in response to low doses of the carcinogenic agents. In addition, TPA did not inhibit "post-replication repair" in response to UV irradiation of growing Chinese hamster (V79-4) cells. However, both TPA and PDB did cause rapid dramatic increases in cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels in human amnion cells; phorbol had no effect. Neither of these compounds affected cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels. These results are discussed in the light of a possible mechanism of the action of tumor promoters involving "post-replication repair".     

甲醛致酵母菌与大肠杆菌DNA-蛋白质交联作用的比较

为了探讨甲醛致真核生物与原核生物DNA-蛋白质交联(DNA-protein crosslinks,DPC)的作用,以毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris)和大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)DH5α为材料,采用KCl-SDS沉淀法检测液态甲醛染毒后酵母菌与大肠杆菌中DPC含量。结果表明,低浓度(25μmol/L)甲醛不能引起酵母菌和大肠杆菌的DPC(P>0.05),而较高浓度(125和625μmol/L)甲醛可引起酵母菌和大肠杆菌明显的DPC(P<0.05);另外,酵母菌的DPC系数是大肠杆菌的DPC系数的10倍左右。这表明甲醛致真核细胞和原核细胞的DPC作用具有剂量效应关系,而且真核细胞的DPC系数比原核细胞的DPC系数更高。     

Echinococcus multilocularis in the mouse: The in vitro protoscolicidal activity of peritoneal macrophages

Baron R. W. and Tanner C. E. 1977. Echinococcus multilocularis in the mouse: the in vitro protoscolicidal activity of peritoneal macrophages. International Journal for Parasitology7: 489–495. The larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis are susceptible to the protoscolicidal activity of infected A/J mouse peritoneal cells. It is shown that the effector cell in this response is an activated macrophage. Preincubation of protoscolices in ‘immune’ serum increases their susceptibility to the protoscolicidal activity of infected mouse peritoneal cells. Macrophages activated nonspecifically by BCG or Taenia crassiceps infections also exhibit protoscolicidal activity in vitro. The identity of the effector cell was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that ‘immune’ macrophages adhere to and form close cellular contacts with the protoscolex surface. It is concluded that resistance to hydatid infections is mediated by activated macrophages.
