Abstract
The objective of this article is to evaluate whether the tumoricidal activity of mouse IFN R-/- nature killer (NK) cells is induced by Newcastle disease virus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (NDV-HN) stimulation, and to investigate what is the mechanism of the HN-stimulated NK cells to kill mouse hepatoma cell line in vitro. The mouse IFN R-/- NK cells were stimulated for 16 hr with 500 ng/mL NDV-HN in 1640 medium. Quantify the cytotoxic activities of NK cells against mouse hepatoma cells (Hepa1-6) by flow cytometry. Granzymes B (GrB) and Fas/FasL concentrations in the supernatants of IFN R-/- NK cells medium were determined by specific ELISA assay. The expression of cell surface GrB and Fas was determined by Western blot. NDV-HN stimulation enhanced tumoricidal activity of IFN R-/- NK cells toward Hepa1-6 in vitro. Treating with anti-HN neutralizing mAb induced significant decline in the cytotoxicity of IFN R-/- NK cells toward Hepa1-6 cell line (P < 0.05). After treating with anti-HN protein (1 μL/mL), Syk-specific inhibitor Herbimycin A(250 ng/mL) and NF-κB inhibitor PDTC (500 ng/mL) downregulated the tumoricidal activity of HN-stimulated IFN R-/- NK cells (P < 0.05). Moreover, significant suppressions in the production of GrB and Fas/FasL were observed in HN-stimulated IFN R-/- NK cells (P < 0.05). Thus, we concluded that killer activation receptors pathway is involved in the IFN-γ-independent GrB and Fas/FasL expression of NDV-HN-stimulated IFN R-/- NK cells, and these are activated by Syk and NF-κB.

Abstract
Context Tilorone dihydrochloride is a therapeutic agent with a different mechanism in cancer. The species of Lactobacillus have an important role in cytotoxic effect. Aims Because of unknown effects of tilorone and culture supernatants from Lactobacillus reuteri on hepatoma, the aim of this study is to evaluate apoptotic, cytotoxic, and therapeutic effects of tilorone on mouse hepatoma cell line with and without culture supernatants from L. reuteri. Materials and Methods To do so, after cell line culture, cells were divided into different groups such as negative control, treatment with four doses of tilorone, positive control of supernatant (single dose), and combination therapy groups of different doses of tilorone with supernatant (constant doses), for 48 h. All groups were studied with pathologic tests, biochemical study, tetrazolium dye (3-(4, 5- dimethylthiazol -2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide [MTT]) assay, and absolute real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were done to assess Bax and Bcl-2 genes expression, as molecular studies. Results MTT assay results revealed that the tilorone tissue culture IC50 (TCIC50) on the Hepa1-6 cell line was 50 μg/ml. RT-PCR analysis showed that tilorone dihydrochloride induced upregulation and downregulation in expression of Bax and Bcl-2, respectively. Simultaneous, antioxidant effect has also seen in a way that prevented necrosis, in biochemical analysis. These results were dose dependent and statistically significant compared to the control group. Conclusions Based on these results, it appeared that this agent could be a good candidate for further evaluation as effective chemotherapy acting through the induction of apoptosis in hepatoma. The cell death caused through bacterial supernatant was rather necrosis than apoptosis.

Abstract
Two data sets on the cytotoxicity of diverse chemicals to topminnow (Poeciliopsis lucida) hepatoma cell line (PLHC-1) were modelled with quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR). The data sets are based on 3-amino-7-dimethylamino-2-methylphenazine hydrochloride (NR) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays representing lysosomal damage and metabolic impairment, respectively. The descriptors were calculated with DRAGON 6 and SPARTAN 10 software packages. Descriptor selection was made by 'all subset' and genetic algorithm-based features implemented in QSARINS software. The proposed QSTR models were validated both internally and externally. For both endpoints, statistically satisfactory QSTR models were generated with nTr = 39; r2Tr = 0.782; RMSETr = 0.466; nTest = 18; r2Test = 0.799; RMSETest = 0.360 for NR-based model and nTr = 32; r2Tr = 0.775; RMSETr = 0.460; nTest = 10; r2Test = 0.864; RMSETest = 0.290 for MTT-based model. Additionally, the QSTR models generated for NR and MTT endpoints were used to predict the cytotoxicity of an external set of 657 and 652 diverse chemicals with structural coverage of 98.6% and 98.3%, respectively. A moderate correlation was observed between the experimental in vivo and predicted in vitro values for external set chemicals. The QSTR models may provide an initial, rapid screening and prioritization of these diverse chemicals for the acute fish toxicity assessment and reduce the need for extensive in vivo toxicity testing.

Abstract
AIM Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most common malignancies in adults displays aberrant miRNA expression during its pathogenesis. We assessed expression of miRNA in surgically resected human HCC of an early stage and murine HCC with a high malignancy in order to find miRNA overexpressed in HCC regardless of tumor stage and underlying etiology. Further, the role of the deregulated miRNA in HCC pathogenesis was investigated. METHODS miRNA were isolated from HCC tissues and surrounding non-tumorous tissues from HCC patients and a murine transgenic model of HCC. A quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine expression levels of miRNA. Human HCC cell lines stably expressing individual miRNA were generated to investigate the biological function of overexpressed miRNA. RESULTS We found that levels of miR-221, -181b-1, -155-5p, -25 and -17-5p were significantly upregulated in both human and murine HCC regardless of tumor stage, underlying etiology or the presence of fibrosis. Using HCC cell lines stably expressing respective miRNA, we found that miR-221 increased the proliferation of hepatoma cells, while miR-17-5p induced cell migration. CONCLUSION We identified miRNA that are consistently upregulated in HCC. The overexpressed miRNA could potentially be used as a bona fide biomarker for HCC.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest to identify plant-derived natural products with antitumor activities. In this work, we have studied the effects of aqueous leaf extracts from Amazonian Vismia and Piper species on human hepatocarcinoma cell toxicity. Results showed that, depending on the cell type, the plants displayed differential effects; thus, Vismia baccifera induced the selective killing of HepG2, while increasing cell growth of PLC-PRF and SK-HEP-1. In contrast, these two last cell lines were sensitive to the toxicity by Piper krukoffii and Piper putumayoense, while the Piperaceae did not affect HepG2 growth. All the extracts induced cytotoxicity to rat hepatoma McA-RH7777, but were innocuous (V. baccifera at concentrations < 75 µg/mL) or even protected cells from basal death (P. putumayoense) in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. In every case, cytotoxicity was accompanied by an intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These results provide evidence for the anticancer activities of the studied plants on specific cell lines and suggest that cell killing could be mediated by ROS, thus involving mechanisms independent of the plants free radical scavenging activities. Results also support the use of these extracts of the Vismia and Piper genera with opposite effects as a model system to study the mechanisms of the antitumoral activity against different types of hepatocarcinoma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The liver is the most important target for drug-induced toxicity. This vulnerability results from functional liver features and its role in the metabolic elimination of most drugs. Drug-induced liver injury is a significant leading cause of acute, chronic liver disease and an important safety issue when developing new drugs. AREAS COVERED This review describes the advantages and limitations of hepatic cell-based models for early safety risk assessment during drug development. These models include hepatocytes cultured as monolayer, collagen-sandwich; emerging complex 3D configuration; liver-derived cell lines; stem cell-derived hepatocytes. EXPERT OPINION In vitro toxicity assays performed in hepatocytes or hepatoma cell lines can potentially provide rapid and cost-effective early feedback to identify toxic candidates for compound prioritization. However, their capacity to predict hepatotoxicity depends critically on cells' functional performance. In an attempt to improve and prolong functional properties of cultured cells, different strategies to recreate the in vivo hepatocyte environment have been explored. 3D cultures, co-cultures of hepatocytes with other cell types and microfluidic devices seem highly promising for toxicological studies. Moreover, hepatocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells are emerging cell-based systems that may provide a stable source of hepatocytes to reliably screen metabolism and toxicity of candidate compounds.

Abstract
A colony-stimulating factor(CSF)-producing tumor cell line (KX-87) was established from a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma and marked granulocytosis. This cell line formed tumors on nude mice in high frequency and the mice revealed marked granulocytosis. In clonogenic assays of human bone marrow cells, KX-87 conditioned medium (CM) supported the formation of colonies mainly consisting of neutrophilic granulocytes but had no burst-promoting activity. The molecular weight of the colony-stimulating activity (CSA) in KX-87CM was estimated about 25,000 daltons by gel filtration and a new bioassay system. In principle, a subline of murine hemopoietic cell line NFS-60 was cloned which was dependent on KX-87CM. Then the growth of this subline was examined by a rapid and sensitive colorimetric tetrazolium assay. From these results, it was concluded that the CSA which KX-87 cell line produced was G-CSF.
