Abstract
Seven flavanones, including two new compounds coupled with styryl units, communins C (1) and D (2), as well as five known compounds, were isolated from Polytrichum commune Hedw. The planar structures of all compounds were determined using extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of two new compounds were assigned by comparing experimental ECD with calculated ECD. The cytotoxicity of all isolates against HCT-116, BGC803, MCF7 and PANC-1 cell lines was evaluated. Communin D exhibited significant cytotoxic activity on BGC803 cells with an IC50 value of 9.3 μM.

Zhou F, Aipire A, Xia L, Halike X, Yuan P, Sulayman M, Wang W, Li J. Marchantia polymorpha L. ethanol extract induces apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells via intrinsic- and endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated pathways. Chin Med 2021; 16:94. [PMID: 34583719 PMCID: PMC8477563 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-021-00504-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Marchantia polymorpha L. is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine and has various biological activities including antioxidant and antifungal. However, it is not clear about the antitumor effect and mechanism of M. polymorpha. We prepared M. polymorpha ethanol extract (MPEE) and investigated its antitumor effect on hepatocellular carcinoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. Methods The viability of hepatocellular carcinoma cells was detected by MTT assay. The distribution of cell cycle was analyzed by propidium iodide (PI) staining. The morphology of nuclei was observed by Hoechst 33258 staining. Apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI staining. JC-1 fluorescent probe and DCFH-DA were used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔψM) and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. Caspase inhibitors were used to test the function of caspase in the induction of apoptosis. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to evaluate the levels of mRNA and protein, respectively. Differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways were identified by transcriptome analysis. The H22 tumor mouse model was used to detect the antitumor effect of the extract. Results MPEE significantly suppressed the migration and growth of BEL-7404, HepG2 and H22 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner through induction of apoptosis characterized by chromosomal condensation and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 and G2/M phases. MPEE induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis via upregulation of Bax and downregulation of Bcl-2 to reduce mitochondrial membrane potential and increase the release of cytochrome c. The levels of cleaved caspase-8 and -9 were significantly increased, which sequentially activated caspase-3 to cleave PARP. We further found that MPEE significantly increased ROS production and activated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress associated-apoptotic signaling pathway. Moreover, MPEE significantly inhibited H22 tumor growth in mouse model and improved the survival of tumor mice. Conclusion These results suggested that MPEE suppressed hepatocellular carcinoma cell growth through induction of apoptosis via intrinsic- and ER stress-associated pathways.

Abstract
Polytrichum commune, one of hair-cap mosses, is the type species of the genus Polytrichum Hedw. (Polytrichaceae). Here we present its complete plastome. The plastome of P. commune is successfully assembled from raw reads sequenced by HiSeq X ten system. Its total length is 126,323 bp consisting of four regions: large single copy (LSC) region (88,070 bp), small single copy (SSC) region (16,717 bp), and inverted repeats (IRs; 9,680 bp per each). It contains 128 genes (84 coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs); nine genes (four rRNAs and five tRNAs) are duplicated in IR regions. The overall GC content is 28.9% and in the LSC, SSC and IR regions is 26.1%, 25.1%, and 45.5%, respectively. This plastome is an important sequence resource for further studies on the class Polytrichopsida.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2015; 136:1081-8. [PMID: 26595388 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2015.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2015] [Revised: 10/30/2015] [Accepted: 11/08/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
A new carrier-free catanionic drug-derivative nano-object strategy is developed for leukaemia therapy. The as-prepared drug-derivative nano-objects are formed by ionic pairs of hydrophobic anticancer drug chlorambucil (CLB) and its derivative N-(2-Amino-ethyl)-4-{4-[bis-(2-chloro-ethyl)-amino]-phenyl}-butyramide (CLBM). The designed drug delivery system has the advantage of 100% drug content without additional carrier materials. The ionic pairs are formed by proton exchange between CLB and CLBM. Due to the amphiphilicity of the ionic pairs, they can assemble into well-defined drug-derivative (CLB-CLBM) nano-objects. Series of techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrical conductivity are used to investigate the property of the solution and aggregation behaviour of as-prepared drug-derivative ionic pairs. In vitro drug release study of the as-prepared nano-objects shows their prolonged drug release behavior. Specifically, in vitro cytotoxicity results of these nano-objects show obviously higher cytotoxicity, which is promising for clinical efficacy. This study may pave the way for the fabrication of carrier-free drug delivery system with efficient cancer therapy.
