Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high morbidity and mortality, particularly if diagnosed at an advanced stage. Although there have been several studies on CRC, few have investigated the relationship between oncosis and CRC. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to identify oncosis-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and to establish a clinical prognostic model. Original data were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and PubMed. Differentially expressed oncosis-related lncRNAs (DEorlncRNAs) were identified and were subsequently formed into pairs. Next, a series of tests and analyses, including both univariate and multivariate analyses, as well as Lasso and Cox regression analyses, were performed to establish a receiver operating characteristic curve. A cut-off point was subsequently used to divide the samples into groups labelled as high- or low-risk. Thus, a model was established and evaluated in several dimensions. Six pairs of DEorlncRNAs associated with prognosis according to the algorithm were screened out and the CRC cases were divided into high- and low-risk groups. Significant differences between patients in the different risk groups were observed for several traits, including survival outcomes, clinical pathology characteristics, immune cell infiltration status and drug sensitivity. In addition, PCR and flow cytometry were performed to further verify the model. In summary, a new risk model algorithm based on six pairs of DEorlncRNAs in CRC, which does not require specific data regarding the level of gene expression, was established and validated. This algorithm may be used to predict patient prognosis, immune cell infiltration and drug sensitivity.

Abstract
As an emerging cancer therapeutic target, non-apoptotic cell death such as ferroptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, etc., has revealed significant potential in cancer treatment for bypassing apoptosis to enhance the undermined therapeutic efficacy triggered by apoptosis resistance. A variety of anticancer drugs, synthesized compounds and natural products have been proven recently to induce non-apoptotic cell death and exhibit excellent anti-tumor effects. Moreover, the convergence of nanotechnology with functional materials and biomedicine science has provided tremendous opportunities to construct non-apoptotic cell death-based nanomedicine for innovative cancer therapy. Nanocarriers are not only employed in targeted delivery of non-apoptotic inducers, but also used as therapeutic components to induce non-apoptotic cell death to achieve efficient tumor treatment. This review first introduces the main characteristics, the mechanism and various pharmacological modulators of different non-apoptotic cell death forms, including ferroptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, paraptosis, lysosomal-dependent cell death, and oncosis. Second, we comprehensively review the latest progresses of nanomedicine that induces various forms of non-apoptotic cell death and focus on the nanomedicine targeting different pathways and components. Furthermore, the combination therapies of non-apoptotic cell death with photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy and other modalities are summarized. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in this regard are also discussed.

Abstract
Tumor resistance is the main cause of treatment failure and is associated with many tumor factors. Jaridon 6, a new diterpene extracted from Rabdosia rubescens (Hemsl.) Hara, which has been previously extracted by our research team, has been tested having more obvious advantages in resistant tumor cells. However, its mechanism is unclear. In this study, we studied the effect and the specific mechanism of Jaridon 6 in resistant gastric cancer cells. Cytotoxicity test, colony test, western blotting, and nude test verified the anti-drug resistance ability of Jaridon 6 in the MGC803/PTX and MGC803/5-Fu cells. Jaridon 6 has shown obvious inhibitory effects in the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) enzyme test. Transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence tests further proved the autophagic action of Jaridon 6. Jaridon 6 could inhibit the proliferation of the resistant gastric cancer cell in vivo and in vitro. Jaridon 6 inhibited SIRT1 enzyme and induced autophagy by inhibiting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway. Thus, it may be considered for treating gastric cancer resistance by individual or combined administration, as an SIRT1 inhibitor and autophagy inducer.

Abstract
Cell death plays a critical role in organism development and the pathogenesis of diseases. Necrosis is considered a non-programmed cell death in an extreme environment. Recent advances have provided solid evidence that necrosis could be programmed and quite a few types of programmed necrosis, such as necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, paraptosis, mitochondrial permeability transition-driven necrosis, and oncosis, have been identified. The specific biomarkers, detailed signaling, and precise pathophysiological importance of programmed necrosis are yet to be clarified, but these forms of necrosis provide novel strategies for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. Natural compounds are a unique source of lead compounds for the discovery of anti-cancer drugs. Natural compounds can induce both apoptosis and programmed necrosis. In this review, we summarized the recent progress of programmed necrosis and introduced their natural inducers. Noptosis, which is a novel type of programmed necrosis that is strictly dependent on NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1-derived oxidative stress was proposed. Furthermore, the anti-cancer strategies that take advantage of programmed necrosis and the main concerns from the scientific community in this regard were discussed.

Dehydroabietic acid alleviates high fat diet-induced insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis through dual activation of PPAR-γ and PPAR-α. Biomed Pharmacother 2020; 127:110155.

Abstract
Dual-PPAR-α/γ agonist has the dual potentials to improve insulin resistance (IR) and hepatic steatosis associated with obesity. This study aimed to investigate whether dehydroabietic acid (DA), a naturally occurred compound, can bind to and activate both PPAR-γ and PPAR-α to ameliorate IR and hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice.. We found that DA formed stable hydrogen bonds with the ligand-binding domains of PPAR-γ and PPAR-α. DA treatment also promoted 3T3-L1 differentiation via PPAR-γ activation, and mitochondrial oxygen consumption in HL7702 cells via PPAR-α activation. In HFD-fed mice, DA treatment alleviated glucose intolerance and IR, and reduced hepatic steatosis, liver injury markers (ALT, AST), and lipid accumulation, and promoted mRNA expression of PPAR-γ and PPAR-α signaling elements involved in IR and lipid metabolism in vivo and in vitro, and inhibited mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors. Therefore, DA is a dual-PPAR-α/γ and PPAR-γ partial agonist, which can attenuate IR and hepatic steatosis induced by HFD-consumption in mice.

Abstract
In this paper, a series of novel 1H-dibenzo[a,c]carbazole derivatives of dehydroabietic acid bearing different N-(piperazin-1-yl)alkyl side chains were designed, synthesised and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activities against three human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (SMMC-7721, HepG2 and Hep3B). Among them, compound 10g exhibited the most potent activity against three cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 1.39 ± 0.13, 0.51 ± 0.09 and 0.73 ± 0.08 µM, respectively. In the kinase inhibition assay, compound 10g could significantly inhibit MEK1 kinase activity with IC50 of 0.11 ± 0.02 µM, which was confirmed by western blot analysis and molecular docking study. In addition, compound 10g could elevate the intracellular ROS levels, decrease mitochondrial membrane potential, destroy the cell membrane integrity, and finally lead to the oncosis and apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Therefore, compound 10g could be a potent MEK inhibitor and a promising anticancer agent worthy of further investigations.

Abstract
To discover novel potent cytotoxic diterpenoids, a series of hybrids of dehydroabietic acid containing 1,2,3-triazole moiety were designed and synthesized. The target compounds were characterized by means of FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis techniques. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated by standard MTT (methyl thiazolytetrazolium) assay against CNE-2 (nasopharynx), HepG2 (liver), HeLa (epithelial cervical), BEL-7402 (liver) human carcinoma cell lines and human normal liver cell (HL-7702). The screening results revealed that most of the hybrids showed significantly improved cytotoxicity over parent compound DHAA. Among them, [1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl]dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (3c), and [1-(2-nitrobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl]dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (3k) displayed better antiproliferative activity with IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) values of 5.90 ± 0.41 and 6.25 ± 0.37 µM toward HepG2 cells compared to cisplatin, while they exhibited lower cytotoxicity against HL-7702. Therefore, the 1,2,3-triazole-hybrids could be a promising strategy for the synthesis of antitumor diterpenoids and it also proved the essential role of 1,2,3-triazole moiety of DHAA in the biological activity.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of the publications about rosin-based chemicals has been compiled. Rosin, or colophony, is a natural, abundant, cheap and non-toxic raw material which can be easily modified to obtain numerous useful products, which makes it an excellent subject of innovative research, attracting growing interest in recent years. The last extensive review in this research area was published in 2008, so the current article contains the most promising, repeatable achievements in synthesis of rosin-derived chemicals, published in scientific literature from 2008 to 2018. The first part of the review includes low/medium molecule weight compounds: Especially intermediates, resins, monomers, curing agents, surfactants, medications and biocides. The second part is about macromolecules: mainly elastomers, polymers for biomedical applications, coatings, adhesives, surfactants, sorbents, organosilicons and polysaccharides. In conclusion, a critical evaluation of the publications in terms of data completeness has been carried out with an indication of the most promising directions of rosin-based chemicals development.

Mar Drugs 2018; 16:md16080270. [PMID: 30081558 PMCID: PMC6117641 DOI: 10.3390/md16080270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Revised: 07/31/2018] [Accepted: 08/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The production of secondary metabolites by a new isolate of the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum, which had shown antibiotic activities during a preliminary study, revealed the production of several metabolites. Growth conditions suitable for the production of one of the compounds shown in the metabolite profile were established and compound 1 was purified. The molecular formula of compound 1 (C20H28O2) was determined by high resolution mass spectra, and its chemical structure by means of spectroscopic methods. The evaluation of these data revealed that the structure of the compound was identical to dehydroabietic acid, a compound known to be characteristically produced by conifer trees, but so far not known from bacteria, except cyanobacteria. The purified substance showed weak antibiotic activities against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus lentus with IC50 values of 70.5 µM (±2.9) and 57.0 µM (±3.3), respectively.

Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22071154. [PMID: 28696365 PMCID: PMC6152277 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22071154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2017] [Accepted: 07/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
A series of new quinoxaline derivatives of dehydroabietic acid (DAA) were designed and synthesized as potential antitumor agents. Their structures were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and MS spectra and elemental analyses. All the new compounds were screened for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, SMMC-7721 and HeLa) and noncancerous human hepatocyte cells (LO2). A cytotoxic assay manifested that compound 4b showed the most potent cytotoxic activity against the three cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of 1.78 ± 0.36, 0.72 ± 0.09 and 1.08 ± 0.12 μM, respectively, and a substantially lower cytotoxicity to LO2 cells (IC50: 11.09 ± 0.57 μM). Moreover, the cell cycle analysis suggested that compound 4b caused cell cycle arrest of SMMC-7721 cells at the G0/G1 phase. In a Hoechst 33258 staining assay, compound 4b caused considerable morphological changes of the nuclei of SMMC-7721 cells, correlated with cell apoptosis. In addition, an Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining assay confirmed that compound 4b could induce the apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2016; 180:78-83. [PMID: 27658224 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2016.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2016] [Revised: 09/08/2016] [Accepted: 09/11/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Dehydroabietic acid (DHAA) is a resin acid present in aquatic environments shown to induce cellular and molecular damage in aquatic animals. In this study, the cytotoxicity of DHAA on primary cultured goldfish radial glial cells (RGCs), an important component of the central nervous system, was evaluated. Here, it is reported that a concentration of 20mg/L DHAA affected cellular morphology and expression of genes involved in RGC steroidogenesis and metabolism. Higher concentration exposures of DHAA (40mg/L) lead to RGC death based on a lactate dehydrogenase leakage assay. Together, these data have implications in understanding the effects of DHAA on an integral central nervous system cell type important for neurogenesis, steroidogenesis and structural support. Due to the continuous presence of DHAA into water systems, results from this study provide indications as to the potential impacts of DHAA and demonstrate the importance of this class of chemicals on aquatic organisms.
