“…The results from our flow cytometric assay showed that fisetin reduced Ψ m in HSC3 cells ( Figure 4C). ROS and mitochondria play an important role in the stimulation of apoptosis, through a mechanism known as the intrinsic signaling pathway (46,47). It was reported that fisetin plays a key role in the loss of Ψm leading to apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth (48).…”

Abstract. Background Western blotting was used to examine the levels of apoptotic-associated protein and results indicated that fisetin increased expression of pro-apoptotic proteins such as B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) antagonist/killer (BAK) and BCL2-associated X (BAX) but reduced that of anti-apoptotic protein such as BCL2 and BCL-x, and increased the cleaved forms of caspase-3, -8 and -9, and cytochrome c, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and endonuclease G (ENDO G) in HSC3 cells. Confocal microscopy showed that fisetin increased the release of cytochrome c, AIF and ENDO G from mitochondria into the cytoplasm. Conclusion: Based on these observations, we suggest that fisetin induces apoptotic cell death through endoplasmic reticulum stress-and mitochondria-dependent pathways.Oral cancer is a subtype of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) comprises of a large proportion of head and neck SCC (1). In men, oral cancer constitutes approximately 3% of all malignant 1103

“…Natural xanthones can be isolated from a variety of plants, including Garcinia mangostana [23], Hypericum perforatum [24], Calophylum inophylum [25], Gamboge hanburyi [26], and Artocarpus optusus [27]. Xanthones have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting COX-2 and prostaglandin synthesis at glioma cell in rats [28], without affecting the constitutive COX-1 [29].…”

Objective: To demonstrate the potential ofdifferent xanthone derivatives as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor agents and their selectivity against cycloooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 using molecular simulation. Methods:Nine novel xanthone derivatives (compounds A-I) were employed to dock against protein COX-2 (Protein Data Bank/PDB ID: 1CX2) and COX-1 (PDB ID: 3N8Z). Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, was chosen as a control compound. The free binding energy produced by the docking was scored using Protein-Ligand Ant System (PLANTS) and the hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) between ligands and enzymes were visualised using Pymol.Results: Molecular docking studies revealed that celecoxib docked to the active site of COX-2 enzyme, but not to COX-1; where as xanthone derivatives docked to the active site of both COX-2 and COX-1. Free binding energy of xanthone derivatives ranged between-73, 57 to-79,18 and between-73,06 to-79,25 against COX-2 and COX-1, respectively, and-78,13 against celecoxib. H-bonds in the molecule of xanthone derivatives and COX-2 protein were found in amino acid residues Arg 120 , Tyr 355 , Tyr 385 , and Ser 353 . There was an insignificant difference between the free binding energyof xanthone derivatives against COX-2 and against COX-1, suggesting that their inhibition was non-selective. Conclusion:In conclusion, in silico studies showed that xanthone derivatives could be effective as potential inhibitors against COX-2, although they are not selective.

“…In addition, autoantibodies to DEK have been identified in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and sarcoidosis. Previous studies have suggested that the DEK protein is closely associated with the apoptosis of cells, since it inhibits p53-mediated apoptosis, it works in combination with the viral oncogenes, E6 and E7, to overcome senescence in cells, and it also promotes Harvey Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog-driven keratinocyte transformation (4,(10)(11)(12). A study by Han et al (13) demonstrated that the DEK protein was closely associated with the proliferation of serous ovarian tumor cells, and that the overexpression of DEK was significantly associated with the increased proliferating index of Ki-67.…”

Abstract. Increased expression of the human DEK proto-oncogene (DEK) gene has been associated with numerous human malignancies. The DEK protein is associated with chromatin reconstruction and gene transcription, and is important in cell apoptosis. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of DEK with regard to gastric adenocarcinoma tumor progression and patient prognosis. DEK protein expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry in 192 tumors paired with adjacent non-cancerous gastric mucosa that had been surgically resected from patients with primary gastric adenocarcinoma. The association between DEK expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients was evaluated using the χ 2 test and Fisher's exact test. The survival rates of the patients were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox analysis evaluated the association between the expression of DEK and the survival rate of the patients. The DEK protein was expressed in 84 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (43.8%) and in 20 of the paired normal gastric mucosa tissues (11.5%). The DEK expression rate was found to be associated with tumor size (P=0.006), tumor grade (P=0.023), lymph node metastasis (P=0.018), serous invasion (P=0.026), tumor stage (P=0.001) and Ki-67 expression (P=0.003). Furthermore, patients with gastric adenocarcinoma that expressed DEK had decreased disease-free (log-rank, 16.785; P<0.0001) and overall (log-rank, 15.759; P<0.0001) survival rates compared with patients without DEK expression. Patients with late-stage gastric adenocarcinoma that expressed DEK exhibited a lower overall survival rate compared with patients without DEK expression (P=0.002). Additional analysis revealed that DEK expression was an independent prognostic factor for the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma (hazard ratio, 0.556; 95% confidence interval, 0.337-0.918; P=0.022). From the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the detection of DEK protein expression in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues may be important for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients, and may be a targeted therapy for the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma.
