Article Synopsis
  • - Researchers focused on the anti-cancer effects of the Populus yunnanensis extract, revealing its ability to decrease cancer cell viability using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay.
  • - The study also found that the extract reduced cancer cell migration and invasion through trans-well assays.
  • - High-throughput sequencing determined the complete chloroplast genome of Populus yunnanensis, which is 156,505 bp long, and identified its close evolutionary relationship with Populus simonii.

Rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RAFLSs) proliferate abnormally and resist apoptosis. Bufalin inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in human cancer cells. In this study, we explored the effects of bufalin on interleukin-1beta (IL-1β)-induced proliferation and apoptosis of RAFLSs.

Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of adolescents and young adults.

Methods: We analyzed liver X receptor α (LXRα) mRNA expression in 16 pairs of human osteosarcoma tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues. Moreover, we investigated LXRα's potential role in regulating cell proliferation in Saos-2 and U2OS cells.
