Objective: To study the effect of polychlorinated biphenyl, Aroclor1254 on benzo (a) pyrene [B (a) P]-induced DNA damage in HepG2 cells.
Methods: HepG2 cells were pretreated with Aroclor1254 (11.5, 23 and 46 micromol/L) for 24 hours and then exposed to B (a) P (50 micromol/L). DMSO (10 ml/L) was used as solvent control. Single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) and high-performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC) assays were applied to detect DNA single-strand breaks and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in HepG2 cells, respectively.
Results: Average Oliver tail moment (OTM) and 8-OHdG level in HepG2 cells were significantly increased in B (a) P treated group (1.66 +/- 0.21), (23.31 +/- 6.02) 8-OHdG/10(6)dG than that in solvent control (0.79 +/- 0.15), (12.31 +/- 3.24) 8-OHdG/10(6)dG, respectively. In Aroclor 1254 treated group (11.5, 23.0, 46.0 micromol/L), average OTM were 0.88 +/- 0.20, 1.01 +/- 0.15 and 1.10 +/- 0.16, and 8-OHdG levels were (19.57 +/- 7.57), (22.80 +/- 9.16) and (31.74 +/- 9.25) 8-OHdG/10(6)dG, respectively. A concentration of 46 micromol/L Aroclor1254 caused a significant increase of 8-OHdG level as compared with the solvent control. After pretreatment of HepG2 cells with Aroclor1254 (11.5, 23.0 and 46.0 micromol/L), B (a) P induced more DNA strand breaks (OTM: 2.14 +/- 0.22, 2.43 +/- 0.32 and 2.71 +/- 0.31) and 8-OHdG [(32.50 +/- 3.81), (49.23 +/- 16.66) and (60.36 +/- 18.04) 8-OHdG/10(6)dG] in HepG2 cells than B (a) P alone.
Conclusion: Aroclor1254 might enhance B (a) P-induced DNA damage in HepG2 cells, which should imply a synergistic effect of Aroclor1254 on the genotoxicity of B (a) P.

Two new polyacetylenes, (5,12)-14-hydroxytetradeca-5,12-dien-8,10-diyn-1-yl 3-methylbut-2-enoate () and 5, 1'-(6,12)-1-hydroxytetradeca-6,12-dien-8,10-diyn-5-yl 2-methylbutanoate (), together with two known ones, (2,8)-12--methylbutyryltetradeca-2,8-diene-4,6-diyne-1,14-diol (), and ()-5-[5-(but-3-en-1-yn-1-yl)thiophen-2-yl]pent-2-en-4-yn-1-yl acetate () were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of by various chromatographic methods, such as normal phase silica gel column, MPLC, and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by kinds of spectroscopic methods including 1D NMR, 2D NMR, IR, UV, HR-ESI-MS, and ECD. Compound exhibited cytotoxic activities in HepG2 and Huh7 cells with IC values of 20.

Photoactivatable gold nanocarriers are transforming antitumor therapies by leveraging their distinctive physicochemical properties, enabling targeted drug delivery and enhanced therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment. This study systematically investigates how surface topography and morphology of gold nanocarriers influence drug loading capacity, light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and overall therapeutic performance in photo/chemotherapy. We synthesized four distinct morphologies of gold nanoparticles: porous gold nanocups (PAuNCs), porous gold nanospheres (PAuNSs), solid gold nanocups (SAuNCs), and solid gold nanospheres (SAuNSs).

Daphnane diterpenoids occurring in plants of the Thymelaeaceae are the focus of natural product drug discovery because of the wide range of their therapeutically biological activities. Considering the limited occurrence in some plants of the Thymelaeaceae, it is imperative to design a strategy for the target isolation of daphnane diterpenoids. In this study, a strategy was developed to filter the data using MZmine, generate the molecular network using the Global Natural Product Social Molecular Network Platform (GNPS), and determine the retention time of target compounds using MS-DIAL.

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) may contribute to the rising incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We investigated the potential of 10 environmentally relevant EDCs to affect key events of hepatic steatosis in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Increased lipid droplet formation, a key marker of steatosis, was induced by PFOA, bisphenol F, DDE, butylparaben, and DEHP, within the non-cytotoxic concentration range of 1 nM-25 μM.

Plastic products contain complex mixtures of chemical compounds that are incorporated into polymers to improve material properties. Besides the intentional chemical additives, other compounds including residual monomers and non-intentionnaly added substances (NIAS) as well as sorbed pollutants are usually also present in aged plastic. Since most of these substances are only loosely bound to the polymer via non-covalently interactions, i.
