Abstract
The rhizome of Zingiber officinale (Z. officinale), commonly known as ginger, has been characterized as a potential drug candidate due to its antitumor effects. However, the chemotherapeutic effect of ginger on human oral cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of an ethanol extract of Z. officinale rhizomes (ZOE) on oral cancer and identified the components responsible for its pharmacological activity. ZOE exerts its inhibitory activity in oral cancer by inducing both autophagy and apoptosis simultaneously. Mechanistically, ZOE-induced autophagy and apoptosis in oral cancer are attributed to the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Additionally, we identified two active components of ZOE, 1-dehydro-6-gingerdione and 8-shogaol, which were sufficient to stimulate autophagy initiation and apoptosis induction by enhancing CHOP expression. These results suggest that ZOE and its two active components induce ROS generation, upregulate CHOP, initiate autophagy and apoptosis, and hold promising therapeutics against human oral cancer.

Abstract
Pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by acinar cell injury and is associated with the abnormal release of trypsin, which results in high mortality due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The inflammatory response, impaired autophagic flux, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and their interactions are involved in the development of pancreatitis. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a novel antioxidant that possesses the features of selective scavenging of oxygen free radicals and nontoxic metabolites and has been shown to be efficacious for treating infection, injury, tumors, ischemia-reperfusion organ injury, metabolic disease and several other diseases. Recent studies have found that H2 is also useful in the treatment of pancreatitis, which may be related to the mechanism of antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, regulation of immunity and regulation of molecular pathways. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of pancreatitis and the research progress and potential mechanisms of H2 against pancreatitis to provide theoretical bases for future research and clinical application of H2 therapy for pancreatitis.

Autophagic flux disruption contributes to Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide-induced apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells via MAPK/ERK activation. Cell Death Dis 2019; 10:456. [PMID: 31186406 PMCID: PMC6560101 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-019-1653-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 97] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2019] [Revised: 04/30/2019] [Accepted: 05/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Targeting autophagy may serve as a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) has been shown to exert promising anti-cancer effects. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Whether GLP regulates autophagy in cancer has never been reported. In this study, GLP induced the initiation of autophagy in colorectal cancer (CRC) HT-29 and HCT116 cells, as evidenced by enhanced level of LC3-II protein, GFP-LC3 puncta, and increased formation of double membrane vacuoles. However, GLP treatment caused marked increase of p62 expression. Addition of late stage autophagy inhibitor, chloroquine (CQ), further enhanced LC3-II and p62 level, as well as increased autophagosome accumulation, suggesting a blockage of autophagic flux by GLP in CRC cells. We then found GLP blocked autophagosome and lysosome fusion as determined by mRFP-GFP-LC3 colocalization analysis. Mechanistic study revealed that GLP-induced disruption of autophagosome-lysosome fusion is due to reduced lysosome acidification and lysosomal cathepsin activities. Cell viability and flow cytometry assays revealed that GLP-induced autophagosome accumulation is responsible for GLP-induced apoptosis in CRC cells. In line with this, inhibition of autophagy initiation by 3-methyladenine (3-MA), an early stage autophagy inhibitor, attenuated GLP-induced apoptosis. In contrast, suppression of autophagy at late stage by CQ enhanced the anti-cancer effect of GLP. Furthermore, we demonstrated that GLP-induced autophagosome accumulation and apoptosis is mediated via MAPK/ERK activation. Finally, GLP inhibited tumor growth and also inhibited autophagic flux in vivo. These results unveil new molecular mechanism underlying anti-cancer effects of GLP, suggesting that GLP is a potent autophagy inhibitor and might be useful in anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Using male Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats implanted subcutaneously with polyethylene mesh pieces stimulating granulation tissue development, we investigated the effects of the in vivo and in vitro treatment with exendin-4, a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist displaying a variety of antidiabetic actions, on the markers of metabolism, inflammation, and healing in addition to skin wound fibroblast/myofibroblast activities. Exendin-4 at increasing doses of 3-10 μg/kg or 0.9% saline was injected daily to ZDF rats pre-implanted with the mesh for 3 weeks. Then, fibroblasts/myofibroblasts isolated from the granulation tissue in both groups were further exposed in vitro to exendin-4 at concentrations of 0-100 nmol/l. After a 3-week administration period, cumulative food and water intake and body weight were reduced significantly. The serum and fibroblast culture medium C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and matrix metalloprotease-9/tissue matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor-1 (MMP-9/TIMP-1) ratio in the fibroblast culture medium were diminished significantly in the exendin-4 pretreated group, indicating the increased expression of anti-inflammatory and pro-healing biomarkers. In vivo exendin-4 treatment also increased the number of living fibroblasts/myofibroblasts in cell cultures. The subsequent in vitro exposure to exendin-4 significantly increased metabolic activity and total collagen content in fibroblast/myofibroblast colonies derived from exendin-4-pretreated rats but reduced the number of viable cells. A cytotoxic effect was noted at the highest exendin-4 concentrations used. To conclude, the treatment of diabetic rats with exendin-4 had beneficial effects on systemic and tissue metabolic, inflammatory, and healing markers and on fibroblast functions crucial for wound repair but showed some cytotoxicity on these cells.

Abstract
The evaluation of cell wellness is an important task for molecular biology research. This mainly comprises the assessment for morphology and viability of culturing cells. Annexin V-Propidium iodide counterstaining has been currently one of the common and easy methods to discriminate apoptotic and necrotic cell profiles. The method is operated by fluorescence-based detection of counterstain via laser beam-employed instruments including flow cytometer, fluorescence microscope and automated cell counter. The detection is primarily conducted based on the same principle; however the efficiency of instruments may vary. Here we evaluated the efficiency of those instruments for the clear-cut detection of cell death through various mammalian and microalgae cell lines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study revealing comparative analyses of apoptotic and necrotic cells in mammalian and microalgae cells using Annexin V-PI counterstain detected by flow cytometer, fluorescence microscope and automated cell counter. Fluorescence microscope and cell counter instruments were also tested and compared for the traditional trypan blue-based cell viability detection performance. For these, cell death was induced by UV-irradiation and/or bee venom for mammalian (pancreatic cancer, metastatic breast cancer and mouse fibroblasts) and microalgae cells (Chlorella vulgaris), respectfully. Findings postulated that automated cell counter and fluorescence microscopy revealed similar patterns for the detection by both counterstain and trypan blue in mammalian cells. Interestingly, flow cytometry did provide an accurate and significant detection for only one mammalian cell line when UV-treatment was followed by routine Annexin V-Propidium iodide counterstaining. Unlike, only flow cytometry revealed a significant change in the detection of death of microalgae cells by Annexin V-Propidium iodide method, but both Annexin and conventional trypan blue methods were not applicable for the automated cell counter and microscopic detections for microalgae cells. The related outputs propose that the obtaining reliable quantitation strongly depends on cell type and instruments used. These suggest the necessity of optimization and validation endeavors before any cell death detection initiative. The analytical outcomes present insights into detailed assessment of cell death detection of eukaryotic cells and provide a direction to researchers to consider.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor with a poor prognosis. The application of chemotherapeutic drugs is limited due to the existence of blood-brain barrier and serious side effects. Liposomes have been proven to be a stable and useful drug delivery system for tumors. In this paper, WGA (wheat germ agglutinin) modified vinorelbine cationic liposomes had been successfully constructed for treating glioma. In the liposomes, WGA was modified on the liposomal surface for crossing the blood-brain barrier and increasing the targeting effects, 3-(N-(N', N'-dimethylaminoethane) carbamoyl) cholesterol (DC-Chol) was used as cationic material and vinorelbine was encapsulated in the aqueous core of liposomes to inhibit tumor metastasis and kill tumor cells. Studies were performed on C6 cells in vitro and were verified in brain glioma-bearing mice in vivo. Results in vitro demonstrated that the targeting liposomes could induce C6 cells apoptosis, promote drugs across the blood-brain barrier, inhibit the metastasis of tumor cells and increase targeting effects to tumor cells. Meanwhile, action mechanism studies showed that the targeting liposomes could down-regulate PI3K, MMP-2, MMP-9 and FAK to inhibit tumor metastasis. Results in vivo exhibited that the targeting liposomes displayed an obvious antitumor efficacy by accumulating selectively in tumor site and exhibited low toxicity to blood system and major organs. Hence, WGA modified vinorelbine cationic liposomes might provide a safe and efficient therapy strategy for glioma.
