Anticancer Potential of Valencia Peanut ( L.) Skin Extract against Cervical Cancer Cells In Vitro and in Nude Mouse Xenograft Models.

This study investigated the impact of Valencia KK4-type peanut skin ethanolic extract (KK4-PSE) combined with cisplatin or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on HeLa cells in vitro and in xenograft models. At exposure times of 24, 48 and 72 h, KK4-PSE inhibited the growth of HeLa cells with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of 79.43 ± 0.

Rapid detection of in blood culture samples using human IgG-based lateral flow assay.

is one of the most common pathogens. The conventional workflow for identifying this organism is time-consuming and takes up to several days. Therefore, we developed a colloidal gold-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using human IgG as a conjugated antibody to detect .

Leaf Powder Ethanolic Extract in Combination with Cisplatin or Gemcitabine Synergistically Inhibits the Growth of Cholangiocarcinoma Cells In Vitro and in Nude Mouse Xenograft Models.

: The treatments of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) with Cisplatin (Cis) and Gemcitabine (Gem) often cause side effects and drug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of leaf powder ethanolic extract (TLPE) and Cis or Gem on CCA cells in vitro and in nude mouse xenografts. : Antiproliferative activity was evaluated using MTT assay.

Anticancer effects of the combined Thai noni juice ethanolic extracts and 5-fluorouracil against cholangiocarcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo.

Application of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is limited by adverse side effects and chemoresistance. Therefore, the combination therapy of 5-FU with other substances, especially natural products may provide a new strategy for CCA treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination effects of 5-FU and two ethanolic extracts of Thai noni juice (TNJ) products on CCA cell lines and nude mice xenografts.

Characterization and localization of Opisthorchis viverrini fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase.

Opisthorchis viverrini (Ov) infection is a long-time public health problem in Thailand that can lead to bile duct cancer, cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Characterization of the Ov proteins at a molecular level will increase our knowledge of host-parasite interaction that can be applied to new drug, vaccine, or immunodiagnostic development. In this study, an important enzyme in the Ov glycolytic pathway, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA), that had been obtained from a previous study was characterized and immunolocalized.
