We have previously shown that tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) upregulates human melanoma cell integrin expression, migration and invasion in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent sodium salicylate on TNF-alpha-induced activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and TNF-alpha-stimulated cell migration and invasion through fibronectin. HBL human melanoma cells were pre-incubated with sodium salicylate prior to stimulation with TNF-alpha for 24 h. NF-kappaB activation was measured using an assay that detects changes in the expression of a luciferase reporter gene under the direct control of NF-kappaB transcriptional activity. The effect of sodium salicylate and TNF-alpha on HBL cell invasion over 20 h and migration over 24 h was studied using fibronectin invasion and 'scratch wound' migration models in vitro, as described previously. Sodium salicylate inhibited TNF-alpha-stimulated NF-kappaB activation in melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and this was achieved with pre-incubation times as short as 15 min. TNF-alpha-stimulated ICAM-1 expression in HBL cells was also downregulated by sodium salicylate, although in a manner inversely related to the concentration of this agent. In functional assays, TNF-alpha stimulated migration and invasion, and sodium salicylate significantly reduced the extent of melanoma invasion and migration in both the presence and absence of TNF-alpha. In conclusion, sodium salicylate effectively inhibited TNF-alpha-induced upregulation of NF-kappaB, ICAM-1 expression, in-vitro migration and invasion in human melanoma cells, indicating that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be a useful therapeutic approach to oppose inflammation-induced melanoma invasion and metastasis in vivo.

Algal-bacterial bioremediation of cyanide-containing wastewater in a continuous stirred photobioreactor.
World J Microbiol Biotechnol

The Biotechnology Center, Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Cairo, 11562, Egypt.
This study reports the isolation and characterization of highly resistant bacterial and microalgal strains from an Egyptian wastewater treatment station to cyanide-containing compounds. The bacterial strain was identified as Bacillus licheniformis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The isolate removed up to 1 g L potassium cyanide, 3 g L benzonitrile, and 1 g L sodium salicylate when incubated as 10% v/v in MSM at 30 ℃.

Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a major issue for patients with craniopharyngioma, and cyst fluid (CF) is suggested to contribute to this obesity, though the exact mechanisms are still unclear.
- The study explored how CF and a specific protein, CXCL1, affected body weight, fat accumulation, and leptin sensitivity in rats, showing that both increased weight and disrupted leptin signaling without hypothalamic damage.
- Findings indicate that CF and CXCL1 promote obesity through inflammatory pathways and leptin resistance; sodium salicylate may help restore leptin sensitivity, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for combating CP-related obesity.

Article Synopsis
- - Hydrogels made from hyaluronic acid and agarose-carbomer are being studied for their potential to simultaneously deliver multiple drugs for different diseases, thanks to their biocompatibility and unique 3D structure.
- - The study focuses on how ethosuximide and sodium salicylate interact and diffuse within these hydrogels, using advanced techniques like NMR Spectroscopy to analyze their transport properties.
- - Findings suggest that when both drugs are loaded together, they behave similarly in their diffusion patterns, which may be influenced by drug-drug interactions, leading to a proposed trapping-release mechanism that affects how the drugs are released from the hydrogels.

Background: Imbalance in inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters have been reported in tinnitus. Acamprosate modulates the excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). This study aims to assess the effect of Acamprosate on tinnitus, anxiety, depression, and molecular changes in nucleus accumbens (NAc), in Sodium-Salisylate (S-salicylate) model of tinnitus.

Article Synopsis
- Tinnitus is highly prevalent and often linked with increased anxiety, making it important to understand the biological factors behind this connection, specifically the roles of proteins like Neuroligin 2 (NLGN2) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
- This study is the first to explore changes in protein expression in the amygdala, which is crucial for anxiety, in relation to tinnitus-induced anxiety in rats.
- Results showed that rats with induced tinnitus had higher anxiety levels and increased NLGN2 alongside decreased BDNF in the amygdala compared to controls, highlighting these proteins as potential targets for tinnitus treatment.
