Published: February 2002

Aim: To study the anti-tumor effect of resveratrol alone and the synergistic effects of resveratrol with 5-FU on the growth of H22 cells line in vitro.

Methods: The number of cells was measured by MTT method the morphological changes of H22 cells were investigated under microscopy and electron microscopy examination.

Results: Resveratrol inhibited the growth of hepatoma cells line H22 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, IC50 of the resveratrol on H22 cells was 6.57mg x L(-1),The synergistic anti-tumor effects of resveratrol with 5-FU increased to a greater extent than for H22 cells treated with 5-FU alone (70.2% vs 28.4%) P<0.05 .Under microscope and electron microscope, characteristics of apoptosis such as typical apoptotic bodies were commonly found in tumor cells in the drug-treated groups.

Conclusion: Resveratrol can suppresses the growth of H22 cells in vitro,its anti-tumor activity may occur through the induction of apoptosis.

Key Laboratory of Functional Polymer Materials of Ministry of Education, Institute of Polymer Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China.

Owing to autofluorescence-free feature, persistent luminescent (PersL) nanoparticles (PLNPs) become potential materials for tumor surgical navigation. However, it is still challenging to enhance PersL intensity, contrast ratio, and imaging stability so as to meet clinical demand and avoid missed detection of microlesions. Herein, integrating a tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive strategy, sensitization enhancement, and internal-standard ratiometric method, a dual-mode PersL imaging strategy is proposed: After loading pH-responsive fluorescent molecule Rh-ADM on PLNPs ZnGaO:Cr,Mn (ZGCM-Rh8), the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) pathways between Cr and Rh-ADM, as well as Mn and Rh-ADM, could sensitize the NIR PersL emitted by Cr and quench the green PersL from Mn at acidic TME, respectively.

Background: Ablation is one of the main methods for local treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Different from radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA) is not limited by tissue conductivity, and can use multiple electrodes at the same time to improve ablation efficiency. In addition, MWA can form a larger ablation area, which makes it possible to completely ablate large HCC.

Saikosaponin-b2 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Liver Cancer Cells by Targeting the MACC1/c-Met/Akt Signalling Pathway.

Saikosaponin-b2 (SS-b2), an active ingredient derived from the root of Radix Bupleuri, possesses antitumour, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and hepatoprotective properties. We investigated the inhibition of tumour proliferation by SS-b2 and the underlying molecular mechanisms, including the MACC1/p-c-Met/p-Akt pathway expression in HepG2 liver cancer cells and H22 tumour-bearing mice. Animal experiments showed that SS-b2 significantly decreased the levels of MACC1, p-c-MET and p-Akt in tumour tissue transplanted with H22 liver cancer cells in mice, while it increased the expression of p-BAD.
