DPY30 knockdown suppresses colorectal carcinoma progression via inducing Raf1/MST2-mediated apoptosis.

Colorectal Carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract, with a high mortality rate. DPY30 is one of the core subunits of the histone methyltransferase complex, which was involved in many cancer processes. However, the role of DPY30 in the occurrence and progression of CRC remains unclear.

DPY30 promotes colorectal carcinoma metastasis by upregulating ZEB1 transcriptional expression.

DPY30 belongs to the core subunit of components of the histone lysine methyltransferase complex, which is implicated in tumorigenesis, cell senescence, and other biological events. However, its contribution to colorectal carcinoma (CRC) progression and metastasis has yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the biological function of DPY30 in CRC metastasis both in vitro and in vivo.

DPY30 Promotes Proliferation and Cell Cycle Progression of Colorectal Cancer Cells via Mediating H3K4 Trimethylation.

DPY30, a core subunit of the SET1/MLL histone H3K4 methyltransferase complexes, plays an important role in diverse biological functions through the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription, especially in cancer development. However, its involvement in human colorectal carcinoma (CRC) has not been elucidated yet. Here we demonstrated that DPY30 was overexpressed in CRC tissues, and significantly associated with pathological grading, tumor size, TNM stage, and tumor location.

Prognostic value of LINC02560 in colorectal cancer correlates with tumor microenvironment immunity.

LINC02560 is a new 477 bp long non-coding RNA located in 19q13.43. However, the expression of LINC02560 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been reported, and its correlation with tumor development and function is still unclear.

The inhibitory kinetics and mechanism of glycolic acid on lipase.

Obesity is prone to cause a variety of chronic metabolic diseases, and it has aroused people's attention that the rapid increase in the global population of obese people in the past years. As a kind of weight-loss drug acting in the intestine, lipase inhibitor does not enter the bloodstream without producing central nervous side effects. Because they do not affect the metabolism system, lipase inhibitors and obesity have become one of the hot spots in recent years.

Evaluation of the Structure and Biological Activities of Condensed Tannins from Acanthus ilicifolius Linn and Their Effect on Fresh-Cut Fuji Apples.

Condensed tannins (CT) have been isolated and purified from leaves of Acanthus ilicifolius Linn. And their structures were investigated by three methods: C nuclear magnetic resonance (C NMR), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The results showed that the CT were a mixture of catechin/epicatechin, galatechin/epicatechin, and amphicin/epigalin, and that the polymer chain lengths were 3-mers to 14-mers.

Anti-melanogenesis of novel kojic acid derivatives in B16F10 cells and zebrafish.

Novel kojic acid derivatives (KADs) with the potential ability to inhibit tyrosinase were synthesized and were further identified by Q-Exactive, IR and NMR. Among these compounds, KAD2 showed the best inhibitory effects on diphenolase activity and monophenolase activity, with IC of 7.50 μM and 20.

Mitochondria-Associated Apoptosis in Human Melanoma Cells Induced by Cardanol Monoene from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid.

Cardanol monoene (CM) is the major phenolic component extracted from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), which has been relevant to wide range of biological effects. In this study, we found that CM could inhibit the M14 human melanoma cells proliferation in a dose dependent and time dependent manner, and the IC values were determined to be 23.15 ± 2.
