Auriculasin enhances ROS generation to regulate colorectal cancer cell apoptosis, ferroptosis, oxeiptosis, invasion and colony formation.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system, and Chinese herbal medicine plays an important role in tumor treatment. The in-depth study of auriculasin isolated from Flemingia philippinensis showed that auriculasin promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in a concentration-dependent manner; when ROS scavenger NAC was added, the effects of auriculasin in promoting ROS generation and inhibiting cell viability were blocked. Auriculasin induced CRC cell apoptosis, led to mitochondrial shrinkage, and increased the intracellular accumulation of Fe and MDA.

Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 Represents a Novel Tumor Marker for Gastric and Colorectal Cancers.

Background: Early diagnosis is very important for the clinical treatment of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to detect Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) and evaluate its diagnostic value.

Materials And Methods: Serum concentrations of GOLPH3 were detected by ELISA in 136 CRC patients, 102 GC patients, and 50 healthy controls at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2016 to December 2019.

Protosappanin B Exerts Anti-tumor Effects on Colon Cancer Cells via Inhibiting GOLPH3 Expression.

Protosappanin B (PSB) is a key active component of Lignum Sappan extract. Although the antiproliferative effects of Lignum Sappan extract have been demonstrated in various cancer cells, relatively little is known about the effects of PSB on tumor progression. The aim of this study was to explore the anti-tumor effects of PSB on human colon cancer cells by regulation of intracellular signaling pathways and Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) expression in vitro and in vivo.

Tenacissoside H Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits Migration of Colon Cancer Cells by Downregulating Expression of Gene.

Objective: Tenacissoside H (TDH) is a Chinese medicine monomer extracted from extract (MTE), which has been confirmed to have antitumor effects, but its mechanism is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of TDH on human colon cancer LoVo cell proliferation and migration and explore the correlation of TDH treatment with the expression of and cell signaling pathways in LoVo cells.

Methods: LoVo cells were treated with TDH at 0.
