Methanolic Extracts from Brown Seaweeds Dictyota cilliolata and Dictyota menstrualis Induce Apoptosis in Human Cervical Adenocarcinoma HeLa Cells

Abstract: Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the second most common female tumor worldwide, surpassed only by breast cancer. Natural products from seaweeds evidencing apoptotic activity have attracted a great deal of attention as new leads for alternative and complementary preventive or therapeutic anticancer agents. Here, methanol extracts from 13 species of tropical seaweeds (Rhodophytas, Phaeophyta and Chlorophyta) collected from the Northeast of Brazil were assessed as apoptosis-inducing agents on human cervical ade… Show more

“…Approximately 1 g excreta sample from each cage was blended with 9 mL of 1% peptone broth (Becton, Dickinson and Co., Franklin Lakes, NJ) and then homogenized. The viable counts of Lactobacillus and E. coli were conducted by plating serial ten‐fold dilutions (10−1 to 10−8) onto lactobacilli medium III agar plates (Medium 638; DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany) and MacConkey agar plates (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA) to isolate Lactobacillus and E. coli , respectively. The lactobacilli medium III agar plates were then incubated for 48 h at 37 °C under anaerobic conditions.…”

“…As people become more aware of the relationship between diet and health, the consumption of seaweed (marine macroalgae) products are increasingly gaining attention. It is a rich nutrient source of food which mainly contains proteins, amino acids, non‐protein nitrogen, lipids, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and is a source of various bioactive components in biomedical pharmaceutical and health products which have been applied in anti‐inflammatory, antiviral, anticoagulant, antitumoral activities, antiobesity, antidiabetic, antihypertensive and antihyperlipidemic . One of the most popular seaweeds is sea mustard, also known as Undaria pinnatifida (wakame).…”
